RESTEasy 6.2.15.Final and 7.0.1.Final Releases

By James R. Perkins | December 10, 2025

Today we are excited to announce the release of RESTEasy 6.2.15.Final and RESTEasy 7.0.1.Final. Both releases consist mostly of bug fixes and component upgrades.

Breaking Changes

One breaking change, that will only affect users of the WildFly Channel, has also been made. The change was simply to change the Maven group id from dev.resteasy.channels to org.jboss.resteasy.channels. This was done as changes were needed for releasing to Maven Central. This was changed in both 7.0.1.Final and 6.2.15.Final.

7.0.1.Final

RESTEasy 7.0.1.Final is a Jakarta REST 4.0 implementation. This release contains mostly bug fixes and component upgrades.

  • RESTEASY-3670 With a small MaxDirectMemorySize size and a flood of POST requests an off heap OOME can occur
