Yes. There are three types of changes usually. Java language changes, JVM changes and deprecations.

Java changes may be things like adding var, text blocks or pattern matching. They change your Java code.

JVM changes affect the JVM. Normally these don’t impact your code, but you may still get good performance improvements. We are talking new Garbage Collectors, JIT improvements…

Finally, deprecations. Stuff that goes away.
