Work on the following JEPs will not complete in time for JDK 8, so their owners have requested to drop them from the release:
108 Collections Enhancements from Third-Party Libraries 156 G1 GC: Reduce need for full GCs Additionally, the owner of JEP 110 (New HTTP Client) has asked that it be dropped from JDK 8 because the new API has grown large enough to require its own JSR [1]. Work on these JEPs will not complete in M6, but the remaining work is well-understood and relatively low-risk, so I've retargeted them to M7: 107 Bulk Data Operations for Collections 123 Configurable Secure Random-Number Generation 155 Concurrency Updates 171 Fence Intrinsics Finally, I've targeted two additional small JEPs to M6: 164 Leverage CPU Instructions for AES Cryptography 173 Retire Some Rarely-Used GC Combinations I've updated the milestone and feature pages [2][3] accordingly. - Mark [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8-dev/2012-December/001804.html [2] http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8/milestones [3] http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8/features
