I receive weekly Oracle emails announcing each build (CAP program) and it contains the same schedule dta, and they do update it when there is some slip (although this is usually not immediate). But yes, it seems either b96 is not M8, or M8 is not feature-complete. Lambdas are missing, but just for a hair: the implementation is already committed, see lambda-dev - it's just not landed in the main repo. The last couple builds were dominated by Sun->Oracle rebranding noise. Anyway, I expect lambdas to land pretty soon, in another build or two. What really worries me is Jigsaw; that is a pretty big changeset (much bigger than lambdas). I'm not tracking this but the list archives seem to show intense activity... hopefully it's close to landing too?
