+preview: Details of what we have done in the Camel 4.2 release.
+---
+
+Apache Camel 4.2 (non LTS) has just been
[released](/blog/2023/11/RELEASE-4.2.0/).
+
+This release introduces a set of new features and noticeable improvements that
we will cover in this blog post.
+
+## Java 21
+
+This is the first release that officially supports running on Java 21.
+
+## Camel Core
+
+TODO: performance and type converter stuff
+
+The Java DSL now supports String text-blocks when defining Camel URIs, as
shown:
+
+```
+from("""debezium-postgres:customerEvents
+ ?databasePassword={{myPassword}}
+ &databaseDbname=myDB
+ &databaseHostname=myHost
+ &pollIntervalMs=2000
+ &queryFetchSize=100""")
+ .to("kafka:cheese");
+```
+
+You can now use a bean method call with property placeholders.
+
+For example a bean can be used to return the name for a topic to use in a
Kafka route:
+
+```
+from("kafka:{{bean:myBean.computeTopic}}")
+ .to("bean:cheese")
+```
+
+In this example Camel will invoke the method `computeTopic` on the bean with
id `myBean` when the route is created.
+
+## Camel Main
+
+You can now configure the following in `application.properties`:
+
+- Global SSL options using `camel.ssl.`
+- Camel route debugger options using `camel.debug.`
+- Camel Open Telemetry options using `camel.opentelemetry.`
+
+## DSL
+
+The kebab-case syntax in YAML DSL has been deprecated and Camel will now
report a WARN if detected.
+You should use Camel Case of course ;) For example `set-header` should be
`setHeader`.
+
+## Camel JBang (Camel CLI)
+
+We have continued investing in Camel JBang, and this time we introduce the new
DSL `debug` command, that is a Camel
+route debugger from the CLI. This makes it very easy and quick to run and
debug your Camel routes and better
+see and understand what happens.
+
+
+
+We plan to make a separate blog and video showing the debug command in action.
+
+The Camel JBang now supports Java Agents when exporting to `camel-main`
runtime. This makes it easy for example to
+include Open Telemetry Java Agent JAR in the export, so you can easily build,
package and run with the agent readily available.
+
+We also made Camel JBang work better on Windows. However, we are interested in
feedback from Windows users.
+
+The `run clipboard.yaml` command (run from clipboard) now supports `--dev`
mode for reload on changes (i.e. you can copy to clipboard your updates).
+
+## Spring and Spring Boot
+
+Upgraded to latest 3.1.5 release.
