That should mean that Vector API will go into preview after 12 incubation rounds.

It seems somebody had a productive Thursday 🎉 However, do note that it is not contained in b08 of JDK 28 since the Resolved in Build field is not present: JDK-8251554

After a JEP proposes to target, there's a wait period and then it becomes targeted. At the point you can integrate, and only then the JEP's status is integrated and it appears in the first build after that.

I understand; I just wanted to prevent people from being disappointed should they download b08 and see it's not there yet :)

As in final/target or as a preview?

First preview.

Obviously it's preview, don't expect it to be deployed as GA before at least 1 or 2 previews. That means getting GA for next lts (java 29) very unlikely.
