 o Build 22
 + *JDK-8266369: New implementation of
   java.nio.channels.Selector on Microsoft Windows. *
 o Build 21
 + *JDK-8196415: JARs signed with SHA-1 algorithms are
   restricted by default.*
 + *JDK-8266858: macOS on ARM early access available.*
 # The ARM port should behave similarly to the Intel port.
   There are no known feature differences.
 # When reporting issues on macOS please specify if using
   ARM or x64.

*We need your help in testing new Selector implementation on Windows [1]:*

 * The implementation of the Selector API on Windows has been replaced
   in JDK 17 b22 with a new more scalable implementation [2].
 * The old select based Selector implementation has been the default
   since Java 1.4 (2002) so replacing it is a significant change.
 * It would be really helpful to get more testing of the new
   implementation before the fork for Rampdown Phase One on June 10th.

JDK 17 Early Acces build 18 is available

[Rory O'Donnell]

*Hi Benedikt, *

*OpenJDK 17 Early Access build 18is now available at 
**https://jdk.java.net/17 <https://jdk.java.net/17>*


 * These early-access , open-source builds are provided under the
 o GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath
   Exception <https://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html>
 * Release Notes are available at http://jdk.java.net/17/release-notes
   <https://jdk.java.net/17/release-notes>


**G1 pauses may be extremely long with EA build JDK-17+18*

*During performance testing we noticed that due to a recent change 
(JDK-8262068) GC pauses after a G1 full GC may be extremely slow. The 
problem has been fixed with JDK-8264987 and that has already been 
integrated. This change will be available with the following EA build  
JDK-17+19.  For more technical info please see [1]



*JEP 382 [2]**  - Starting with build 19, **JDK 17 for macOS is 
*temporarily* switched from using OpenGL**to using Apple's Metal 
API**for Java 2D rendering.*


Heads up to anyone who is testing JDK 17 for running apps on macOS. 
Starting with build 19, JDK 17 for macOS is *temporarily* switched from 
using OpenGL to using Apple's Metal API for Java 2D rendering.


If you are running any kind of 2D / Swing/ AWT UI application on macOS, 
and see any rendering related problems
starting with JDK 17 b19, please do report them to us along with a test 
case and screen shots.


You may also set "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" to re-enable OpenGL - which  
implicitly disables Metal - to confirm that it is a Metal related 
rendering glltch.

The Java Cryptographic Roadmap has been updated [3]:

 * Distrust TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 by default
 o TLS protocol versions 1.0 and 1.1 are no longer considered
   secure and have been superseded by more secure and modern
   versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3). This change has been integrated with
   JDK 16 Early Access build 26.
 * Upgrade of default algorithms used to encrypt PKCS12 keystores
 o The new algorithms are based on AES-256 and SHA-256 and are
   stronger than the old algorithms which were based on RC2,
   DESede, and SHA-1.This change is already included in JDK 16
   Early Access build 23.

Hi Xeno,

The issue is resolved in JDK 16 EA build 8, (JDK-8248655
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8248655>) which is available
on jdk.java.net.

Rgds,Rory


Hi Rory,

Thank you for the update. The latest Java 16 EA builds Apache Commons

Lang

OK now. We'll have to see when Travis-CI and GitHub Actions provide

updates.
Good to hear.

What should our expectations be for Java 15? That build is still broken

for

us, even with build 34 (latest EA).

What's the impact to you, we are very late in the cycle for JDK 15.


Hi Rory,

We rely upon Travis-CI and GitHub Action to build and validate GitHub PRs.

As for now, Java 15 builds always fail because of this issue. We've defined
these CI build jobs to allow for Java 15 builds to fail to provide us with
green builds otherwise.

But we do not know if a Java 15 build has failed solely because of this
single issue or if there are additional compatibility issues, without
searching through the build logs, which frankly is too much of a pain to do
for every single PR that comes in.

In effect, for me, at least, this means that I ignore Java 15 builds since
I know they always fail.

Thank you,
Gary

Thank you!

 o 349 - JFR Event Streaming <https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/349>
 * *I want to draw your attention to some notable changes in previous
   builds of JDK 14.*
 o *Build 14* - Classes are now loaded and linked by
   Class.forName() (JDK-8212117
   <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212117>)
 + we need help testing changes to 3-arg Class.forName method.
   The method has always been specified to link the class but
   the implementation has historically not done this when
   invoked with the "initialize" parameter set to false. The
   bug has been fixed in JDK 14 but it has the potential to
   change the behavior of code that uses Class.forName to load
   classes that cannot be linked.

 Hi Benedikt,

jdk.java.net/13/*


 * These early-access, open-source builds are provided under the GNU
   General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception

*Reminder of a change in b24 - A jrt URI can only encode paths to files 
in /modules tree **(JDK-8224946 
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8224946>)*


A |jrt| URL is a hierarchical URI with syntax |jrt:/[$MODULE[/$PATH]]|. 
When using the |jrt| file system, a |java.net.URI| object can be created 
with the |java.nio.file.Path::toUri| method to encode a normalized path 
to a file in the |/modules| tree. A |jrt| URL cannot encode a path to a 
file in the |/packages| tree. The |jrt| file system provider has changed 
in this release so that |toUri| fails with |IOError| when it is not 
possible to encode the file path as a jrt URI. *This change may impact 
tools have been making use of URLs that are not compliant with the 
syntax. Tools with paths to files in **|/packages|**can use the 
**|toRealPath()|**method to obtain the real path (in **|/modules|**) 
before attempting to convert the file path to a URI.*

JDK 13 enters Rampdown Phase One

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Benedikt,

*JDK 13 Early Access build **25 is now available **at : - jdk.java.net/13/*

 * Per the JDK 13 schedule [1], we are now in Rampdown Phase One.
 o For more details , see Mark Reinhold's email to jdk-dev mailing
   list [2]
 o The overall feature set is frozen, no further JEPs will be
   targeted to this release.
 * Changes in this build 25 [4]

*Request for feedback on JEP 353 integrated in b24
*

JEP 353: Reimplement the Legacy Socket API" has been integrated into 
jdk-13+24. It would be very useful if applications or libraries using 
java.net.Socket or java.net.ServerSocket APIs could test with this build 
and report any issues found. The JEP provides information on the system 
property that can be used to switch back to the old implementation and 
that may be useful to check for behavior differences between the old and 
new implementation. It would be very useful to get feedback via the 
OpenJDK net-dev mailing list, bugs via the usual channel.

Moving Java Forward Faster

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Benedikt,

Oracle is proposing a rapid release model for Java SE going-forward.

The high points are highlighted below, details of the changes can be 
found on Mark Reinhold’s blog [1] , OpenJDK discussion email list [2].


Under the proposed release model, after JDK 9, we will adopt a strict, 
time-based model with a new major release every six months, update 
releases every quarter, and a long-term support release every three years.


The new JDK Project will run a bit differently than the past "JDK $N" 
Projects:


- The main development line will always be open but fixes, enhancements, 
and features will be merged only when they're nearly finished. The main 
line will be Feature Complete [3] at all times.


- We'll continue to use the JEP Process [4] for new features and other 
significant changes. The bar to target a JEP to a specific release will, 
however, be higher since the work must be Feature Complete in order to 
go in. Owners of large or risky features will be strongly encouraged to 
split such features up into smaller and safer parts, to integrate 
earlier in the release cycle, and to publish separate lines of 
early-access builds prior to integration.


The JDK Updates Project will run in much the same way as the past "JDK 
$N" Updates Projects, though update releases will be strictly limited to 
fixes of security issues, regressions, and bugs in newer features.


Related to this proposal, we intend to make a few changes in what we do:

- Starting with JDK 9 we'll ship OpenJDK builds under the GPL [5], to 
make it easier for developers to deploy Java applications to cloud 
environments. We'll initially publish OpenJDK builds for Linux/x64, 
followed later by builds for macOS/x64 and Windows/x64.


- We'll continue to ship proprietary "Oracle JDK" builds, which include 
"commercial features" [6] such as Java Flight Recorder and Mission 
Control [7], under a click-through binary-code license [8]. Oracle will 
continue to offer paid support for these builds.


- After JDK 9 we'll open-source the commercial features in order to make 
the OpenJDK builds more attractive to developers and to reduce the 
differences between those builds and the Oracle JDK. This will take some 
time, but the ultimate goal is to make OpenJDK and Oracle JDK builds 
completely interchangeable.


- Finally, for the long term we'll work with other OpenJDK contributors 
to establish an open build-and-test infrastructure. This will make it 
easier to publish early-access builds for features in development, and 
eventually make it possible for the OpenJDK Community itself to publish 
authoritative builds of the JDK.

Ready for JDK 9 ?

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Benedikt,

Thank you very much for all your testing of JDK 9 during its 
development! Such contributions have significantly helped shape and 
improve JDK 9.


Now that we have reached the JDK 9 Final Release Candidate phase [1] , I 
would like to ask if your project can be considered to be 'ready for JDK 
9', or if there are any remaining show stopper issues which you've 
encountered when testing with the JDK 9 release candidate.


JDK 9  b181 is available at http://jdk.java.net/9/

If you have a public web page, mailing list post, or even a tweet 
announcing you project's readiness for JDK 9, I'd love to add the URL to 
the upcoming JDK 9 readiness page on the Quality Outreach wiki.



Looking forward to hearing from you,
Rory

*Announcing: Early-Access builds of JDK 9 for Alpine Linux/musl at  
jdk.java.net/9/ [1]

*

 * As of today there are pre-built Early-Access (EA) JDK binaries for
   Alpine Linux/musl at  jdk.java.net/9/**
 o look for “Alpine Linux”. [1]
 * The Alpine Linux build is compatible with linux distributions that
   use the musl C library. *[2]*

Feedback is very welcome via the portola-dev mailing list, remembering 
to subscribe to the mailing list first.



*Proposed schedule change for JDK 9 [3]*

   JDK 9 Project continues to work toward the current goal of producing
   an initial Release Candidate build on 22 June.
   This proposal is to adjust the GA date in order to accommodate the

JDK 9 EA Build 159 and JDK 8u152 is available on java.net

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Benedikt,

*JDK 8u152 **Early Access b01 <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html> *is 
available on java.net


*JDK 9 Early Access* b159 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>  is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html>.


There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source 
projects since the last availability email  :


 * b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working for JAR
   URLConnection
 * b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of supplementary-plane
   characters in text fields
 * b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with layout
   for text containing unmappable character
 * b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws UnsupportedOperationException:
   should not happen
 * b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class
 * b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference to the
   thread context class loader

The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54

If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants 
FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current directory 
using its base name will fail.  Still the same solution: Ensure that the 
path used in permission granting has the same style as the one how you 
access the file.


Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the 
jdk-9+140 behavior.
Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back to 
the jdk8 behavior.

Feedback is welcome on jdk9-...@openjdk.java.net

JDK 9 b148 including a refresh of the module system is available on java.net

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Benedikt,


JDK 9 build b148 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> includes an important 
Refresh of the module system [1] , summary of changes are listed here 
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+148.html>.


*This refresh includes a disruptive change that is important to understand.

*For those that have been trying out modules with regular JDK 9 builds 
then be aware that `requires public` changes to `requires transitive`. 
In addition, the binary representation of the module declaration 
(module-info.class) has changed so that you need to recompile any 
modules that were compiled with previous JDK 9 builds.


As things stand today in JDK 9 then you use setAccessible to break into 
non-public elements of any type in exported packages. However, it cannot 
be used to break into any type in non-exported package. The current 
specified behavior was a compromise for the initial integration of the 
module system. It is of course not very satisfactory, hence the 
#AwkwardStrongEncapsulation issue [2] on the JSR 376 issues list. With 
the updated proposal in the JSR, this refresh changes setAccessible 
further so that it cannot be used to break into non-public types, or 
non-public elements of public types, in exported packages. Code that 
uses setAccessible to hack into the private constructor of 
java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup will be disappointed for example.


This change will expose hacks in many existing libraries and tools. As a 
workaround then a new command line option `--add-opens` can be used to 
open specific packages for "deep reflection". For example, a really 
popular build tool fails with this refresh because it uses setAccessible 
+ core reflection to hack into a private field of an unmodifiable 
collection so that it can mutate it, facepalm! This code will continue 
to work as before when run with `--add-opens 
java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED` to open the package java.util in module 
java.base to "all unnamed modules" (think class path).


*Any help reporting issues to popular tools and libraries would be 
appreciated. *


A debugging aid that is useful to identify issues is to run with 
-Dsun.reflect.debugModuleAccessChecks=true to get a stack trace when 
setAccessible fails, this is particularly useful when code swallows 
exceptions without any logging.

<http://www.java.net/download/java/jdk8u122/changes/jdk8u122-b02.html>


Early Access b140 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> (#5625) for JDK 9 with 
Project Jigsaw is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed 
here. 
<http://www.java.net/download/java/jigsaw/archive/140/binaries/jdk-9+140.html>


Early Access b140 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> for JDK 9 is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://www.java.net/download/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+140.html>.


A couple of items to point out with regard to b140:

1. A fix for Cyclic interface initialization causes JVM crash is
   included in b140
2. We are requesting feedback on a change that went into  JDK 9 b140

   The java.io.FilePermission class was changed to remove pathname
   canonicalization from its creation,
   along  with a system property to revert the behavior back to way it
   worked in the previous JDK release.
   We do this mainly for performance enhancement so that there is no
   need to consult the file system every
   time a FilePermisson is created. If you use a security manager and
   file permissions then you should read
   the details as described on the jdk9 mailing list [1]

   Feedback is requested via core-libs-...@openjdk.java.net


The new GA date of JDK 9 has been updated on the JDK 9 Project page [2], 
further details in Mark Reinhold's email [3].

Early Access builds of JDK 8u122 b01 & JDK 9 EA b138 are available.

Hi Benedikt,

Early Access b01 <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html> for JDK 8u122 is 
available on java.net.


Early Access b138 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> for JDK 9 is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+138.html>.


Early Access b138 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> (#5561) for JDK 9 with 
Project Jigsaw is available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed 
here 
<http://www.java.net/download/java/jigsaw/archive/138/binaries/jdk-9+138.html>. 



There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source 
projects since the last availability email  :


 * 8038348 - b137 - Instance field load is replaced by wrong data Phi
 * 8041480 - b137 - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when JTable contains
   certain string
 * 8145542 - b137 - The case failed automatically and thrown
   java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception.
 * 8151725 - b137  - [macosx] ArrayIndexOOB exception when displaying
   Devanagari text in JEditorPane

There are two proposals requesting feedback via mailing lists :

 - More proposals for open JPMS issues [1]

 * One proposal to call out is #AwkwardStrongEncapsulation as this
   proposes to change setAccessible(true) so that it can't be used to
   break into non-public types/members in exported packages. This is a
   non-issue when using setAccessible to get access to non-public
   types/members of classes on the class path but will be an issue for
   code that uses this method to break into JDK-internals. We would
   appreciate as much help as possible testing these builds. If
   InaccessibleObjectException is thrown then examine the stack trace
   (run with -Dsun.reflect.debugModuleAccessChecks=true to uncover
   failed access attempts in code that shallows exceptions). If it
   looks like a library is attempting to access a non-public method or
   field of a platform class and make sure to *submit a bug in the
   issue tracker for the library.*

 - Proposal to Reorganize source classes in src.zip by modules [2]

 * This proposal might have a compatibility impact on IDEs or other
   tools that look in src.zip
 * Feedback via the jigsaw-dev mailing list

Project Jigsaw is available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed 
here 
<http://www.java.net/download/java/jigsaw/archive/136/binaries/jdk-9+136.html>.


There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source 
projects since the last availability email  :


 * 8165723 - b136 - core-libs JarFile::isMultiRelease() method returns
   false when it should return true
 * 8165116 - b136 - xml redirect function is not allowed even with
   enableExtensionFunctions

NOTE:-  Build 135 included a fix for JDK-8161016 which *has introduced a 
behavioral change to HttpURLConnection, more info:*


The behavior of HttpURLConnection when using a ProxySelector has been 
modified with this JDK release. Currently, HttpURLConnection.connect() 
call would fallback to a DIRECT connection attempt if the configured 
proxy/proxies failed to make a connection. This release introduces a 
change whereby no DIRECT connection will be attempted in such a 
scenario. Instead, the HttpURLConnection.connect() method will fail and 
throw an IOException which occurred from the last proxy tested. This 
behavior now matches with the HTTP connections made by popular web 
browsers. But this change will bring compatibility issues for the 
applications expecting a DIRECT connection when a proxy server is down 
or when wrong proxies are provided.

JDK 9 Outreach Survey*

In order to encourage and receive additional feedback from developers 
testing their applications with JDK 9,
the OpenJDK Quality Outreach effort has put together a very brief survey 
about your experiences with JDK 9 so far.


It is available at***https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/JDK9EA*

We would love to hear feedback from you!

Update to JEP 261 : Module System - email from Mark Reinhold [1]

- The special ALL-DEFAULT module name, which represents the default set 
of root modules for use with the -addmods option [2];
- A more thorough explanation of how the built-in class loaders have 
changed, how built-in modules are assigned to each loader,

   and how these loaders work together to load classes [3]; and
- The reason why Java EE-related modules are no longer resolved by 
default [4].
- There are various other minor corrections and clarifications, as can 
be seen in the detailed diff [5].
