In addition the java (or PC) edition and bedrock (or pocket) edition hasn't merged. What happened is that the console version for Xbox has been exchanged with the bedrock engine, and is now using the same game engine as MCPE did before. This engine has been seriously updated to get feature parity with the console edition for Xbox.

The java version hasn't been touched, and the only thing (besides normal bug fixes) which has happened for it is that it has been renamed into "Minecraft Java Edition".

With this update the name has now changed from "Minecraft Pocket Edition" into "Minecraft", and the bedrock version/engine/edition is now the main official branch of Minecraft.
