+# **Highlights**
+
+## Virtual Threads are stable
+
+Support for virtual threads is now stable. The feature requires JVM version of 21 or higher.
+Virtual threads can be used inside workflows by enabling `WorkerFactoryOptions.setUsingVirtualWorkflowThreads`.
+Users can also use virtual threads for task processing in a worker by enabling `WorkerOptions.setUsingVirtualThreads`.
+
+## Workflow Streams (Public Preview)
+
+This release adds Workflow Streams, a public preview contrib library that gives a workflow a durable, offset-addressed event channel
+for keeping outside observers updated on workflow and activity progress. It's built on Temporal's existing signals, updates, and queries,
+with batching, exactly-once deduplication, topic filtering, and continue-as-new helpers layered on top.
+Intended uses are streaming UIs for long-running AI agents, status for in-flight payment or order processing, and progress for data pipelines.
+It is not for not ultra-low-latency cases like real-time voice.
+
+## AWS Lambda Serverless Workers (experimental)
+
+This release adds the `temporal-aws-lambda` contrib module for running Java Workers with Temporal Serverless Workers on AWS Lambda.
+See [online documentation](https://docs.temporal.io/serverless-workers) and the module's README for more information.
+
+## Workflow preferred version provider (experimental)
+
+Added `worker.Options.PreferredVersionProvider`, which can select the version recorded by a newly encountered `workflow.GetVersion` call.
+This supports gradual rollout of a new `GetVersion` call before activating its new behavior.
