*Notable changes in JDK 11 EA builds since last email:*
* Build 8:
o If you have a library that uses the Selector API heavily then
now would be a good time to test it out. [1]

will be removed in a future release.
* Build 6:
o JDK-8193033 : remove terminally deprecated

replacement `java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass`
which was added in Java SE 9. [2]
