For details, see [go1.20.12](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.20.12) in *The Go Programming Language Release History*. This is a security release. | | **Corretto** | **\$1\$1New\$1\$1\$1** — Introduced new **Corretto 21** platform branch running on AL2023: Corretto version [21.0.2.13.1](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-21/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md#corretto-version-210211). Language runtime updates: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2024-01-25-al2023.html) All of the language runtime updates are security releases. | | **Tomcat** | **Tomcat 9 platform branches** [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2024-01-25-al2023.html) **Tomcat 10 platform branches** [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2024-01-25-al2023.html) All of the Corretto language runtime updates are security releases. | | **.NET Core** | Updated .NET Core to release [6.0.26](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/6.0.26/6.0.26.md). This is a security release. | | **Node.js** | **\$1\$1New\$1\$1\$1** — Introduced new **Node.js 20** platform branch running on AL2023: Node.js version [20.10.0](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.10.0). For documentation of the latest version, see [Node.js v20.x Documentation](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/documentation.html). If you migrate to the *AL2023** Node.js 20* platform branch from a previous Node.js platform branch, such as *AL2023 Node.js 18*, your deployment may fail if you use custom deployment scripts that call `npx`. For more information, expand the [AL2023 Node.js 20 ](#note-npx) note that follows this table. The AL2023 platform update that has since been released on [March 26, 2024](release-2024-03-26-al2023.md) includes a symbolic link to remedy this issue. | | **Python** | Updated Pipenv to release **2023.11.17** for both the Python 3.9 and Python 3.11 platform branches. For details, see the Pipenv [Release and Version History](https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/releases). | | **Ruby** | Updated Puma to version [6.4.2](https://github.com/puma/puma/releases/tag/v6.4.2). | ### Note: AL2023 Node.js 20 custom deployment scripts and `npx` If you migrate to the *AL2023* *Node.js 20* platform branch from a previous Node.js platform branch, such as *AL2023 Node.js 18*, your deployment may fail if you use custom deployment scripts that call `npx`. This is because the default name of the `npx` command is different on the *AL2023* *Node.js 20* platform. The default name on this latest platform is `npx-20`, rather than `npx`. The AL2023 platform update that has since been released on [March 26, 2024](release-2024-03-26-al2023.md) includes a symbolic link to remedy this issue. Until you're able to update environment to the latest release, here are two workaround options to avoid deployment issues with your custom deployment scripts. We recommend using the second option for more flexibility, which uses a symbolic link. + *Option 1 –* Use `npx-20` instead of `npx` in your scripts. + *Option 2 * –** Add a prebuild [platform hook](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/platforms-linux-extend.html) to create symbolic link to `npx-20`, (and continue to use the `npx` command name in your scripts). The following example script creates the symbolic link. Place this script file in the `.platform/hooks/prebuild` directory in your application, so that Elastic Beanstalk runs it in the prebuild phase of the deployment. This script creates a symbolic link to the required `npx-20` command, if it cannot locate `npx` in the directory used by the previous Node.js platform branches. When it runs in the *prebuild* phase, it creates the symbolic link before the remainder of your configuration and deployment steps run. So any calls to `npx` that follow will direct to the `npx-20` command for this platform branch. ``` #!/usr/bin/env bash if [ ! -f /usr/bin/npx ]; then ln -s /usr/bin/npx-20 /usr/bin/npx fi npx -v ``` ## New platform versions **Notes** The following tables list all *supported* platform branches for each platform, including Amazon Linux 2. Only Amazon Linux 2023 platform branches are updated with this release. The following tables list *only supported* platform branches. They do not list platform branches that are scheduled for retirement (deprecated). For full version information of Elastic Beanstalk *retiring* (deprecated) platform branches, see [Elastic Beanstalk platform versions scheduled for retirement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-retiring.html) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms* guide. **Topics** + [ ### Docker
