What is WildFly?

WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.

WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.

What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.

Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

5.0

WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.

◆ Current state

WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.

◆ Where it's heading

WildFly moves features through stability levels release by release; 42 promotes the eviction configuration that first arrived in 39. The bug list also shows continuing cleanup of XML parsing issues (CWE-611) and clustering edge cases.

◆ Prediction

Expect 42.0.1.Final next, consolidating fixes and component upgrades as 41.0.1 did.

6.3

Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.

◆ Current state

Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

◆ Where it's heading

Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
