### Future JDKs
The purpose of coffi is to provide a wrapper for published versions of Project
Panama, starting with JDK 17. As new JDKs are released, coffi will be ported to
the newer versions of Panama. When JDK 18 is released, a tag will be added to
mark the final release of coffi that is compatible with Java 17, as that is the
LTS release of the JDK. Development of new features and fixes as well as support
for new Panama idioms and features will continue with focus only on the latest
JDK. If a particular feature is not specific to the newer JDK, PRs backporting
it to versions of coffi supporting Java 17 will likely be accepted.
### 1.0 Release
Because the feature that coffi wraps in the JDK is an incubator feature (and
likely in JDK 19 a [preview
feature](https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/panama-dev/2021-September/014946.html))
coffi itself will not be released in a 1.0.x version until the feature becomes a
core part of the JDK, likely before or during the next LTS release, Java 21, in
September 2023.
