title: "RESTEasy 6.2.16.Final and 7.0.2.Final Releases"
4+

Today we would like to announce the release of RESTEasy link:/downloads#6216final[6.2.16.Final] and RESTEasy
9+
link:/downloads#702final[7.0.2.Final]. Both releases consist mostly of bug fixes and component upgrades.
10+
11+
One big change to both 6.2.16.Final and 7.0.2.Final was better support for https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RESTEASY-3693[CDI].
12+
Previously, Jakarta REST resources required a public no-arg constructor, even when managed by CDI. This release relaxes that
13+
requirement, allowing CDI to fully handle resource creation. This means your resources can now use constructor injection
14+
without needing to maintain an additional no-arg constructor.
15+
16+
== 7.0.2.Final
17+
18+
RESTEasy 7.0.2.Final is a https://jakarta.ee/specifications/restful-ws/4.0/[Jakarta REST 4.0] implementation. This
19+
release includes mostly bug fixes and component upgrades.
20+
21+
One notable upgrade in this release is the migration to Jackson 2.21 LTS. This is a long-term support version of Jackson,
22+
which provides better stability and extended support for users who need a more stable JSON processing foundation.
23+
24+
Among the bug fixes, this release addresses an https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RESTEASY-3691[IllegalAccessError] that
25+
could occur when posting large entities via the Apache HTTP client engine, and fixes for Server-Sent Events (SSE) handling
26+
in Vert.x environments.

== 6.2.16.Final
69+
70+
RESTEasy 6.2.16.Final is a https://jakarta.ee/specifications/restful-ws/3.1/[Jakarta REST 3.1] implementation. This
71+
release includes mostly bug fixes and component upgrades.
72+
73+
While this should not affect you as a user, it should be noted that in https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RESTEASY-3712[RESTEASY-3712]
74+
we upgrade to a new minor of JBoss Logging. This was done for better support in modular environments. We did, however,
75+
keep backwards compatibility so using JBoss Logging 3.5.x should also work.
76+
77+
Similar to 7.0.2.Final, this release addresses an https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RESTEASY-3691[IllegalAccessError]
78+
when posting large entities, fixes for Server-Sent Events (SSE) in Vert.x environments, and resolves a
79+
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RESTEASY-3697[SecurityException] in SSE when the security manager is enabled.
