Has a version of Java with value types been released?

No, but there's finally a JEP, which normally means that release is imminent (I'm not involved with that project, so I have no inside information): https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/401

As part of this change, existing built-in primitive types (like int or double) will retroactively become instances of these more general objects.
