New Features:
security-libs/javax.crypto
➜ Update XML Security for Java to 3.0.3 (JDK-8319124):
The XML Signature implementation has been updated to Santuario 3.0.3. Support for four new SHA-3 based RSA-MGF1 signature methods have been added: SHA3_224_RSA_MGF1, SHA3_256_RSA_MGF1, SHA3_384_RSA_MGF1, and SHA3_512_RSA_MGF1. While these new algorithm URIs are not defined in javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod in the JDK update releases, they may be represented as string literals in order to be functionally equivalent. SHA-3 hash algorithm support was delivered to JDK 9 via JEP 287. Releases earlier than that may use third party security providers.
Additionally, support for the following EdDSA signatures has been added: ED25519 and ED448. While these new algorithm URIs are not defined in javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod in the JDK Update releases, they may be represented as string literals in order to be functionally equivalent. The JDK supports EdDSA since JDK 15. Releases earlier than that may use 3rd party security providers. One other difference is that the JDK still supports the here() function by default. However, we recommend avoiding the use of the here() function in new signatures and replacing existing signatures that use the here() function. Future versions of the JDK will likely disable, and eventually remove, support for this function, as it cannot be supported using the standard Java XPath API. Users can now disable the here() function by setting the security property jdk.xml.dsig.hereFunctionSupported to "false".
Other Notes:
client-libs/java.awt
➜ AWT SystemTray API Is Not Supported on Most Linux Desktops (JDK-8322750):
The java.awt.SystemTray API is used for notifications in a desktop taskbar and may include an icon representing an application. On Linux, the Gnome desktop's own icon support in the taskbar has not worked properly for several years due to a platform bug. This, in turn, has affected the JDK's API, which relies upon that.
Therefore, in accordance with the existing Java SE specification, java.awt.SystemTray.isSupported() will return false where ever the JDK determines the platform bug is likely to be present.
The impact of this is likely to be limited since applications always must check for that support anyway. Additionally, some distros have not supported the SystemTray for several years unless the end-user chooses to install non-bundled desktop extensions.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added Certainly R1 and E1 Root Certificates (JDK-8321408):
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Certainly
+ certainlyrootr1
DN: CN=Certainly Root R1, O=Certainly, C=US
+ Certainly
+ certainlyroote1
DN: CN=Certainly Root E1, O=Certainly, C=US
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto
➜ Enable XML Signature Secure Validation Mode by Default (JDK-8259801):
The XML Signature secure validation mode has been enabled by default (previously it was not enabled by default unless running with a security manager). When enabled, validation of XML signatures are subject to stricter checking of algorithms and other constraints as specified by the jdk.xml.dsig.secureValidationPolicy security property.
If necessary, and at their own risk, applications can disable the mode by setting the org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation property to Boolean.FALSE with the DOMValidateContext.setProperty() API.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 22.0.1 (Apr 17, 2024)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 22 (Mar 19, 2024)

Major New Functionality:
Language:
Unnamed Variables & Patterns
Enhance the Java programming language with unnamed variables and unnamed patterns, which can be used when variable declarations or nested patterns are required but never used. Both are denoted by the underscore character, _.
Language Previews:
Statements before super(...) (Preview):
In constructors in the Java programming language, allow statements that do not reference the instance being created to appear before an explicit constructor invocation. This is a preview language feature.
Stream Gatherers (Preview):
Enhance the Stream API to support custom intermediate operations. This will allow stream pipelines to transform data in ways that are not easily achievable with the existing built-in intermediate operations. This is a preview API.
String Templates (Second Preview):
Enhance the Java programming language with string templates. String templates complement Java's existing string literals and text blocks by coupling literal text with embedded expressions and template processors to produce specialized results. This is a preview language feature and API.
Implicitly Declared Classes and Instance Main Methods (Second Preview):
Evolve the Java programming language so that students can write their first programs without needing to understand language features designed for large programs. Far from using a separate dialect of the language, students can write streamlined declarations for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs to use more advanced features as their skills grow. This is a preview language feature.
Libraries:
Foreign Function & Memory API:
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI.
Library Previews and Incubator:
Class-File API (Preview):
Provide a standard API for parsing, generating, and transforming Java class files. This is a preview API.
Structured Concurrency (Second Preview):
Simplify concurrent programming by introducing an API for structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats groups of related tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability. This is a preview API.
Scoped Values (Second Preview):
Introduce scoped values, which enable managed sharing of immutable data both with child frames in the same thread, and with child threads. Scoped values are easier to reason about than thread-local variables and have lower space and time costs, especially when used in combination with Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency. This is a preview API.
Vector API (Seventh Incubator):
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
Performance:
Region Pinning for G1:
Reduce latency by implementing region pinning in G1, so that garbage collection need not be disabled during Java Native Interface (JNI) critical regions.
See below for additional information
Tooling:
Launch Multi-File Source-Code Programs:
Enhance the java application launcher to be able to run a program supplied as multiple files of Java source code. This will make the transition from small programs to larger ones more gradual, enabling developers to choose whether and when to go to the trouble of configuring a build tool.
New Features:
This section describes some of the enhancements in Java SE 22 and JDK 22. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change. The APIs described here are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 22 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 22 and JDK 22 is the Java SE 22 ( JSR 397) Platform Specification, which documents the changes to the specification made between Java SE 21 and Java SE 22. This document includes descriptions of those new features and enhancements that are also changes to the specification. The descriptions also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 22.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Support Unicode 15.1 (JDK-8296246)
This release upgrades the Unicode version to 15.1, which includes updated versions of the Unicode Character Database and Unicode Standard Annexes #9, #15, and #29:
The java.lang.Character class supports the Unicode Character Database, which adds 627 characters, for a total of 149,813 characters. The addition includes one new UnicodeBlock, which consists of urgently needed CJK ideographs, synchronized with planned additions to the Chinese national standard, GB 18030.
The java.text.Bidi and java.text.Normalizer classes support Unicode Standard Annexes, #9 and #15, respectively.
The java.util.regex package supports Extended Grapheme Clusters based on the Unicode Standard Annex #29.
For more details about Unicode 15.1, refer to the Unicode Consortium’s release note.
core-libs/java.lang.foreign:
➜ Foreign Function & Memory API (JEP 454)
The Foreign Function & Memory API allows Java programs to interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime.
Access to foreign memory is realized via the MemorySegment class. A memory segment is backed by a contiguous region of memory, located either off-heap or on-heap. Safe and deterministic deallocation of off-heap memory segments is provided via the Arena class. Structured access to memory segments is realized via the MemoryLayout class. A memory layout can be used to compute the size and offsets of struct fields, and to obtain var handles that read and write the data in memory segments.
Access to foreign functions is realized via the Linker class. The native linker can be used to obtain method handles that provide a fast way for Java code to invoke native code. Native code is invoked using the calling convention for the OS and processor where the Java runtime is executing, so Java code is not polluted with platform-specific details. Native code can also call back into Java code.
Native code is generally unsafe; if used incorrectly, it might crash the JVM or result in memory corruption. Some of the methods in the Foreign Function & Memory API are considered unsafe because they provide access to native code. These unsafe methods are restricted, which means their use is permitted but causes warnings at run time. Developers can compile their code with -Xlint:restricted to learn if it will produce warnings at run time due to use of unsafe methods.
If the risks associated with native code are understood, then unsafe methods can be used without warnings at run time by passing --enable-native-access=... on the java command line. For example, java --enable-native-access=com.example.myapp,ALL-UNNAMED ... enables warning-free use of unsafe methods by code in the com.example.myapp module and code on the class path (denoted by ALL-UNNAMED). Additionally, in an executable JAR, the manifest attribute Enable-Native-Access: ALL-UNNAMED enables warning-free use of unsafe methods by code on the class path; no other module can be specified. When the --enable-native-access option or JAR manifest attribute is present, any use of unsafe methods by code outside the list of specified modules causes an IllegalCallerException to be thrown, rather than a warning to be issued.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ TCP_KEEPxxxx Extended Socket Options Are Now Supported on the Windows Platform (JDK-8308593)
The java.net.ExtendedSocketOptions TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTERVAL are supported on Windows platforms starting from Windows 10 version 1709 and onwards. TCP_KEEPCOUNT is supported starting from Windows 10 version 1703 and onwards.
core-libs/java.nio.charsets:
➜ New Constants for 32-bit UTF Charsets (JDK-8310047)
The following three new constants in java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets class have been introduced:
UTF_32
UTF_32BE
UTF_32LE
These are 32-bit based UTF charsets that are in parallel with the existing 8-bit and 16-bit equivalents.
core-libs/java.text:
➜ Locale-Dependent List Patterns (JDK-8041488)
A new class, ListFormat, which processes the locale-dependent list patterns has been introduced, based on Unicode Consortium's LDML specification. For example, a list of three Strings: "Foo", "Bar", "Baz" is typically formatted as "Foo, Bar, and Baz" in US English, while in French it is "Foo, Bar et Baz." The following code snippet does such formatting:
ListFormat.getInstance().format(List.of("Foo", "Bar", "Baz"))
Besides the default concatenation type STANDARD (= and), the class provides two additional types, OR for "or" concatenation, and UNIT for concatenation suitable for units for the locale.
core-libs/java.util:
➜ Add equiDoubles() Method to java.util.random.RandomGenerator. (JDK-8302987)
A new method, equiDoubles(), has been added to java.util.random.RandomGenerator.
equiDoubles() guarantees a uniform distribution, provided the underlying nextLong(long) method returns uniformly distributed values, that is as dense as possible. It returns a DoubleStream rather than individual doubles because of slightly expensive initial computations. They are better absorbed as setup costs for the stream rather than being repeated for each new computed value.
The aim is to overcome some numerical limitations in the families of doubles() and nextDouble() methods. In these, an affine transform is applied to a uniformly distributed pseudo-random value in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0) to obtain a pseudo-random value in the half-open interval [origin, bound). However, due to the nature of floating-point arithmetic, the affine transform ends up in a slightly distorted distribution, which is not necessarily uniform.
hotspot/gc:
➜ G1: Fast Collection of Evacuation Failed Regions (JDK-8140326)
G1 now reclaims regions that failed evacuation in the next garbage collection.
When there is not enough space to move Java objects from the collection set, young generation regions for example, to some destination area, or that region has been pinned and contains non-movable Java objects (see [JEP 423]), G1 considers that region to have failed evacuation.
Previously, such regions were moved into the old generation as completely full regions, and left lingering for re-examination until the next complete heap analysis, marking, found them to be reclaimable in the next space reclamation phase. Very often, such regions are sparsely populated because only a very few objects were not relocatable or very few objects were actually pinned.
With this change, G1 considers evacuation failed regions as reclaimable beginning with any subsequent garbage collection. If the pause time permits, G1 will evacuate them in addition to the existing collection set.
This can substantially reduce the time to reclaim these mostly empty regions, decreasing heap pressure and the need for garbage collection activity in the presence of evacuation failed regions.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Parallel: Precise Parallel Scanning of Large Object Arrays for Young Collection Roots (JDK-8310031)
During young collection, ParallelGC partitions the old generation in 64kB stripes when scanning it for references into the young generation. These stripes are assigned to worker threads that do the scanning in parallel as work units.
Before this change Parallel GC always scanned these stripes completely even if only a small part had been known to contain interesting references. Additionally every worker thread processed the objects that start in that stripe by itself including any part of objects that extend into other stripes. This behavior limited parallelism when processing large objects: a single large object potentially containing thousands of references had been scanned by a single thread only and in full, and would also cause bad scaling due to memory sharing and cache misses in the subsequent long work stealing phase.
With this change, Parallel GC workers limit work to their stripe, and only process interesting parts of large object arrays. This reduces work done by a single thread for a stripe, improves parallelism and reduces the amount of work stealing. Parallel GC pauses is now on par with G1 in presence of large object arrays, reducing pause times by 4-5 times in some cases.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Region Pinning for G1 (JEP 423)
This JEP reduces latency by implementing region pinning in G1, so that garbage collection need not be disabled during Java Native Interface (JNI) critical regions.
Java threads that use native code do not stall garbage collections any more. Garbage collections will execute regardless of native code keeping references to Java objects. The garbage collection will keep objects that may be accessed by native code in place, collecting garbage only in surrounding heap areas but will be otherwise unaffected.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Parallel: Better GC Throughput with Large Object Arrays (JDK-8321013)
During a young collection, Parallel GC searches for dirty cards in the card table to locate old-to-young pointers. After finding dirty cards, Parallel GC uses the internal bookkeeping data structures to locate object starts for heap-parsing to be able to walk the heap within these dirty cards object-by-object.
This change modifies the internal bookkeeping data structure to the one used by Serial and G1. As a result, the object start lookup time is improved and one can observe about a 20% reduction of Young-GC pause in some benchmarks using large object arrays.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Serial: Better GC Throughput with Scarce Dirty Cards (JDK-8319373)
During a young collection, Serial GC searches for dirty cards in the card table to locate old-to-young pointers. After finding dirty cards, Serial GC uses the block offset table to locate object starts for heap-parsing to be able to walk the heap within these dirty cards object-by-object.
This change improves the object start lookup and search for dirty cards resulting in a large (~40%) reduction in Young-GC pause in some benchmarks using large object arrays.
hotspot/gc:
➜ G1: Balance Code Root Scan Phase during Garbage Collection (JDK-8315503)
The Code Root Scan Phase during garbage collection finds references to Java objects in compiled code. To speed up this process, G1 maintains a remembered set for compiled code that contains references into the Java heap. That is, every region contains a set of compiled code that contains references into it.
Assuming that such references are few, previous code used a single thread per region to iterate over a particular region's references, which poses a scalability bottleneck if the distribution of these references is very unbalanced.
G1 now distributes this code root scan work across multiple threads within regions, removing this bottleneck.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ New Security Category for -XshowSettings Launcher Option (JDK-8281658)
The -XshowSettings launcher has a new security category. Settings from security properties, security providers and TLS related settings are displayed with this option. A security sub-category can be passed as an argument to the security category option. See the output from java -X:
-XshowSettings:security
show all security settings and continue
-XshowSettings:security:*sub-category*
show settings for the specified security sub-category and continue. Possible *sub-category* arguments for this option include:
all: show all security settings and continue
properties: show security properties and continue
providers: show static security provider settings and continue
tls: show TLS related security settings and continue
Third party security provider details will be reported if they are included in the application class path or module path and such providers are configured in the java.security file.
security-libs/javax.security:
➜ HSS/LMS: keytool and jarsigner Changes (JDK-8302233)
The jarsigner and keytool tools have been updated to support the Hierarchical Signature System/Leighton-Micali Signature (HSS/LMS) signature algorithm. jarsigner supports signing JAR files with HSS/LMS and verifying JAR files signed with HSS/LMS while keytool supports generating HSS/LMS key pairs.
The JDK includes a security provider that supports HSS/LMS signature verification only. In order to use the key pair generation and signing features of keytool and jarsigner, a third-party provider that supports HSS/LMS key pair and signature generation and a keystore implementation that can store HSS/LMS keys is required.
Even though there’s no specific Java SE API to initialize an HSS/LMS key pair generator, keytool can function with a third-party KeyPairGenerator implementation that supports initialization via an integer keysize or a NamedParameterSpec object. In such cases, users are able to provide the parameters using the existing -keysize or -groupname options of keytool.
As part of this change, the JAR specification was modified to repurpose the existing “.DSA” extension for JAR files signed with HSS/LMS and other forthcoming signature algorithms.
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:
➜ Update XML Security for Java to 3.0.3 (JDK-8319124)
The XML Signature implementation has been updated to Santuario 3.0.3. Support for four new SHA-3 based RSA-MGF1 SignatureMethod algorithms have been added: SignatureMethod.SHA3_224_RSA_MGF1, SignatureMethod.SHA3_256_RSA_MGF1, SignatureMethod.SHA3_384_RSA_MGF1, and SignatureMethod.SHA3_512_RSA_MGF1.
tools/javadoc(tool):
➜ The inheritDoc Tag and Method Comments Algorithm Have Been Changed (JDK-8285368)
An optional parameter has been added to the inheritDoc tag so that an author can specify the supertype from which to search for inherited documentation. Additionally, the algorithm to search for inherited documentation has been modified to better align with the method inheriting and overriding rules in Java Language Specification.
For more details, see the following sections of the Documentation Comment Specification for the Standard Doclet:
Method Documentation
{@inheritDoc}
xml/jaxp:
➜ Add a Built-in Catalog to JDK XML Module (JDK-8306055)
A JDK built-in catalog is introduced to host DTDs defined by the Java Platform. The JDK creates a CatalogResolver based on the built-in catalog when needed to function as the default external resource resolver. When no user-defined resolvers are registered, a JDK XML processor will fall back to the default CatalogResolver and will attempt to resolve an external reference before making a connection to fetch it. The fall-back also takes place if a user-defined resolver exists but allows the process to continue when unable to resolve the resource.
If the default CatalogResolver is unable to locate a resource, it will signal the XML processors to continue processing, or skip the resource, or throw a CatalogException. The action it takes is configured with the jdk.xml.jdkcatalog.resolve property. The new property can be set on factory APIs, as a Java system property, or in the JAXP Configuration File. The new property affects all XML processors uniformly.
For further information, see the JDK built-in Catalog section of the java.xml module summary.
xml/jaxp:
➜ Add a JDK Property for Specifying DTD Support (JDK-8306632)
A new property jdk.xml.dtd.support is introduced that determines how XML processors handle DTDs. The new property can be set on factory APIs, as a Java system property, or in the JAXP Configuration File. The new property affects all XML processors uniformly.
The new property complements the two existing DTD properties: disallow-doctype-decl (fully qualified name: http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl), which is applicable only to the DOM and SAX processors, and supportDTD (javax.xml.stream.supportDTD), which is applicable only to the StAX processor. When one of these existing properties is set on the respective processor factory, its value will take precedence over any value specified for the jdk.xml.dtd.support property.
For further information, see the Configuration section of the java.xml module summary.
hotspot/jfr:
➜ JFR Event for @Deprecated Methods (JDK-8211238)
A new JFR event, jdk.DeprecatedInvocation, has been added to JDK 22 to help users detect their use of deprecated methods located in the JDK.
To record these events in JFR, a user must specify a recording on the command line, like -XX:StartFlightRecording. Starting a recording during runtime, for example, using jcmd or the JFR Java API, will not have these events reported unless -XX:StartFlightRecording is specified on the command line.
The current design will only report direct method invocations where the caller resides outside the JDK. Intra-JDK invocations will not be reported. Additionally, invoking methods declared deprecated but located outside of the JDK, for example in a third-party library, will not be reported, at least not during this first implementation. This might change in the future.
There exists a small restriction in the reporting of invocations from the Interpreter. In the situation where two caller methods are members of the same class, and they invoke the same deprecated method
In this situation, only <InterpreterRestriction.invoke1, System.getSecurityManager> will be reported because the Interpreter implementation will consider System.getSecurityManager() to be resolved and linked after the first call. When invoke2() is called, no slow path will be taken for the resolution of the System.getSecurityManager() method because it is already resolved as part of the cpCache. This restriction does not exist in C1 or C2, only in the Interpreter.
When analyzing the reported events, checking all methods in the reported class is recommended. This slight restriction can be resolved using an iterative process; if one call site is fixed, the other will be reported in the next run.
Removed Features and Options:
This section describes the APIs, features, and options that were removed in Java SE 22 and JDK 22. The APIs described here are those that are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 22 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 22 and JDK 22 is the Java SE 22 ( JSR 397) Platform Specification, which documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 21 and Java SE 22. This document includes the identification of removed APIs and features not described here. The descriptions below might also identify potential compatibility issues that you could encounter when migrating to JDK 22. See CSRs Approved for JDK 22 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 22.
core-libs:
➜ sun.misc.Unsafe.shouldBeInitialized and ensureClassInitialized Are Removed (JDK-8316160)
The shouldBeInitialized(Class) and ensureClassInitialized(Class) methods have been removed from sun.misc.Unsafe. These methods have been deprecated for removal since JDK 15. java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.ensureInitialized(Class) was added in Java 15 as a standard API to ensure that an accessible class is initialized.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Thread.countStackFrames Has Been Removed (JDK-8309196)
The method java.lang.Thread.countStackFrames() has been removed in this release. This method dates from JDK 1.0 as an API for counting the stack frames of a suspended thread. The method was deprecated in JDK 1.2 (1998), deprecated for removal in Java 9, and re-specified/degraded in Java 14 to throw UnsupportedOperationException unconditionally.
java.lang.StackWalker was added in Java 9 as a modern API for walking the current thread's stack.
core-libs/java.lang:reflect:
➜ The Old Core Reflection Implementation Has Been Removed (JDK-8305104)
The new core reflection implementation has been the default since JDK 18 and the old implementation is now removed. The -Djdk.reflect.useDirectMethodHandle=false introduced by JEP 416 to enable the old core reflection implementation becomes a no-op.
core-svc/tools:
➜ Jdeps -profile and -P Option Have Been Removed (JDK-8310460)
Compact profiles became obsolete in Java SE 9 when modules were introduced. The jdeps -profile and -P options were deprecated for removal in JDK 21 and now removed in JDK 22. Customers can use jdeps to find the set of modules required by their applications instead.
Deprecated Features and Options:
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 22 and JDK 22 include:
The Deprecated API page identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 22.
The Java SE 22 ( JSR 397) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 21 and Java SE 22 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 22. See CSRs Approved for JDK 22 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 22.
core-libs:
➜ sun.misc.Unsafe park, unpark, getLoadAverage, and xxxFence Methods Are Deprecated for Removal (JDK-8315938)
The park, unpark, getLoadAverage, loadFence, storeFence, and fullFence methods defined by sun.misc.Unsafe have been deprecated for removal.
Code using these methods should move to java.util.concurrent.LockSupport.park/unpark (Java 5), java.lang.management.OperatingSystemMXBean.getSystemLoadAverage (Java 6), and java.lang.invoke.VarHandle.xxxFence (Java 9).
hotspot/runtime:
➜ -Xnoagent Option Is Deprecated for Removal (JDK-8312072)
The -Xnoagent option of the java command has been deprecated for removal. This option has been ignored for many releases and doesn't provide any functionality. It will now generate a deprecation warning when used while launching java.
Any existing code which uses this option should be updated to remove reference to this option.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Deprecation of the jdk.crypto.ec Module (JDK-8308398)
The jdk.crypto.ec module is being deprecated with the intent to remove it. An empty module exists as a transition for developers to fix applications or jlink commands with hard-coded dependencies before removal. The SunEC JCE Provider, which provides Elliptic Curve Cryptography, is now in the java.base module. There should be no difference in cryptographic functionality with this deprecation.
tools/launcher:
➜ -Xdebug and -debug Options Are Deprecated for Removal (JDK-8227229)
The -Xdebug and -debug options of the java command have been deprecated for removal. These options have been ignored for several releases and don't provide any functionality. Using either of these options while launching java will now log a deprecation warning.
Existing applications which use either of these options should be updated to remove references to these options.
Notable Issues Resolved:
The following notes describe previous known issues or limitations that have been corrected in this release.
core-libs/java.lang.invoke:
➜ MethodHandles.Lookup::findStaticVarHandle Does Not Eagerly Initialize the Field's Declaring Class (JDK-8291065)
In the previous releases, MethodHandles.Lookup::findStaticVarHandle eagerly initializes the declaring class of the static field when the VarHandle is created. As specified in the specification, the declaring class should be initialized when the VarHandle is operated on if it has not already been initialized. This issue is fixed in this release. The declaring class is no longer eagerly initialized when MethodHandles.Lookup::findStaticVarHandle is called. Existing code that relies on the previous behavior may observe a change of the order of the classes being initialized.
core-libs/java.lang.invoke:
➜ Reimplement MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance (JDK-6983726)
In previous releases MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance returns a Proxy instance. MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance has been reimplemented to return instances of a hidden class that can be unloaded when all instances returned for the same interface becomes unreachable. Once unloaded, subsequent call to MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance will spin and define a new hidden class that may incur performance overhead.
core-libs/java.time:
➜ Gregorian Era Names with java.time.format APIs (JDK-8306116)
Names for Gregorian eras returned from java.time.format APIs are now correctly retrieved from the CLDR locale data. Prior to this change, these APIs incorrectly used names from the legacy COMPAT locale data. For example, the Gregorian era names "BCE"/"CE" are now returned for the ROOT locale, instead of "BC"/"AD" that are in the COMPAT locale data. For possible compatibility issues and workarounds, refer to JDK-8320431 for more details.
hotspot/gc:
➜ G1: More Deterministic Heap Resize at Remark (JDK-8314573)
During the Remark pause G1 adjusts the Java heap size to keep a minimum and maximum amount of free regions as set via the -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio and -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio options.
Before this change, G1 considered Eden regions as occupied (full) for this calculation. This makes heap sizing very dependent on current Eden occupancy, although after the next garbage collection these regions will be empty. With this change, Eden regions are considered as empty (free) for matters of Java heap sizing. This new policy also aligns Java heap sizing to full GC heap sizing.
The effect is that G1 now expands the Java heap less aggressively and more deterministically, with corresponding memory savings but potentially executing more garbage collections.
tools/javac:
➜ ExecutableElement.getReceiverType and ExecutableType.getReceiverType() Changed to Return Annotated Receiver Types for Methods Loaded from Bytecode (JDK-8319196)
The implementation of ExecutableElement.getReceiverType and ExecutableType.getReceiverType now returns a receiver type for methods loaded from bytecode if the type has associated type annotations. Previously, it returned NOTYPE for all methods loaded from bytecode, which prevented associated type annotations from being retrieved.
tools/javac:
➜ TypeMirror Changed to Provide Annotations for Types Loaded from Bytecode (JDK-8225377)
The implementation of TypeMirror now provides access to annotations for types loaded from bytecode. Previously type annotations were not associated with types loaded from bytecode.
Annotation processors can access type annotations for elements using AnnotationMirror#getAnnotationMirrors, and the annotations will be included in the output of AnnotationMirror#toString.
Any programs that relied on annotations being omitted for elements loaded from the classpath should be updated to handle type annotations.
tools/javac:
➜ The javac Compiler Should Not Accept Private Method References with a Type Variable Receiver (JDK-8318160)
Prior to JDK 22, the javac compiler was accepting private method references with a type variable receiver.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 11.0.22 (Jan 18, 2024)

New Features:
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto
➜ New System Property to Toggle XML Signature Secure Validation Mode (JDK-8301260):
A new system property named org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation has been added. It can be used to enable or disable the XML Signature secure validation mode. The system property should be set to "true" to enable, or "false" to disable. Any other value for the system property is treated as "false". If the system property is set, it supersedes the XMLCryptoContext property value.
Secure validation mode is enabled by default if you are running the code with a SecurityManager, otherwise it is disabled by default
Known Issues:
hotspot/compiler
➜ Potential Performance Regression Due to Limited Range Check Elimination (JDK-8314468 (not public)):
When the C1 compiler is the only compiler available to the VM, it applies loop predication to remove array access range checks from loop bodies. Due to a defect, this optimization was disabled, potentially leading to a performance regression.
This only affects the client VM or VM's running with the non-default command line flags -XX:+NeverActAsServerClassMachine or -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=[1,2,3].
Other Notes:
hotspot/runtime
➜ Add Process-Memory Information to hs-err and VM.info (JDK-8251255):
On Linux, process memory information has been added to both JVM crash reports (hs_err files) and the VM.info diagnostic jcmd. This information contains the process' virtual size, its resident set size, and how much memory was swapped out. If the JVM uses glibc, the size of glibc outstanding allocations and retained memory are printed, as well as the glibc tunables.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 21 (Sep 22, 2023)

Major New Functionality:
1. Language Feature:
➜ Record Patterns
Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to deconstruct record values. Record patterns and type patterns can be nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data navigation and processing.
See JEP 440
➜ Pattern Matching for switch
Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for switch expressions and statements. Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely.
See JEP 441
1.1 Language Features Previews:
➜ String Templates (Preview)
Enhance the Java programming language with string templates. String templates complement Java's existing string literals and text blocks by coupling literal text with embedded expressions and template processors to produce specialized results. This is a preview language feature and API.
See JEP 430
See below for additional information
➜ Unnamed Patterns and Variables (Preview)
Enhance the Java language with unnamed patterns, which match a record component without stating the component's name or type, and unnamed variables, which can be initialized but not used. Both are denoted by an underscore character, _. This is a preview language feature.
See JEP 443
➜ Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods (Preview)
Evolve the Java language so that students can write their first programs without needing to understand language features designed for large programs. Far from using a separate dialect of Java, students can write streamlined declarations for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs to use more advanced features as their skills grow. This is a preview language feature.
See JEP 445
See below for additional information
2. Libraries Improvements:
➜ Virtual Threads
Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications.
See JEP 444
➜ Sequenced Collections
Introduce new interfaces to represent collections with a defined encounter order. Each such collection has a well-defined first element, second element, and so forth, up to the last element. It also provides uniform APIs for accessing its first and last elements, and for processing its elements in reverse order.
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
— Kierkegaard
➜ Key Encapsulation Mechanism API
Introduce an API for key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs), an encryption technique for securing symmetric keys using public key cryptography.
See JEP 452
2.1 Library Improvements Previews and Incubator:
➜ Foreign Function & Memory API (Third Preview)
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI. This is a preview API.
See JEP 442
➜ Structured Concurrency (Preview)
Simplify concurrent programming by introducing an API for structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats groups of related tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability. This is a preview API.
See JEP 453
➜ Scoped Values (Preview)
Introduce scoped values, values that may be safely and efficiently shared to methods without using method parameters. They are preferred to thread-local variables, especially when using large numbers of virtual threads. This is a preview API.
In effect, a scoped value is an implicit method parameter. It is "as if" every method in a sequence of calls has an additional, invisible, parameter. None of the methods declare this parameter and only the methods that have access to the scoped value object can access its value (the data). Scoped values make it possible to pass data securely from a caller to a faraway callee through a sequence of intermediate methods that do not declare a parameter for the data and have no access to the data.
See JEP 446
➜ Vector API (Sixth Incubator)
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
See JEP 448
3. Performance Improvements:
➜ Generational ZGC
Improve application performance by extending the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) to maintain separate generations for young and old objects. This will allow ZGC to collect young objects — which tend to die young — more frequently.
See JEP 439
See below for additional information
4. Stewardship:
➜ Prepare to Disallow the Dynamic Loading of Agents
Issue warnings when agents are loaded dynamically into a running JVM. These warnings aim to prepare users for a future release which disallows the dynamic loading of agents by default in order to improve integrity by default. Serviceability tools that load agents at startup will not cause warnings to be issued in any release.
See JEP 451
See below for additional information
New Features
This section describes some of the enhancements in Java SE 21 and JDK 21. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change. The APIs described here are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 21 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 21 and JDK 21 is the Java SE 21 ( JSR 396) Platform Specification, which documents the changes to the specification made between Java SE 20 and Java SE 21. This document includes descriptions of those new features and enhancements that are also changes to the specification. The descriptions also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 21.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Runtime.exec and ProcessBuilder Logging of Command Arguments (JDK-8303392)
Processes started by Runtime.exec and ProcessBuilder can be enabled to log the command, arguments, directory, stack trace, and process id. The exposure of this information should be reviewed before implementation. Logging of the information is enabled when the logging level of the System#getLogger(String) named java.lang.ProcessBuilder is System.Logger.Level.DEBUG or Logger.Level.TRACE. When enabled for Level.DEBUG, only the process id, directory, command, and stack trace are logged. When enabled for Level.TRACE, the command arguments are included with the process id, directory, command, and stack trace.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ System.exit() and Runtime.exit() Logging (JDK-8301627)
Calls to java.lang.System.exit() and Runtime.exit() are logged to the logger named java.lang.Runtime with a logging level of System.Logger.DEBUG. When the configuration of the logger allows, the caller can be identified from the stack trace included in the log.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Math.clamp() and StrictMath.clamp() Methods (JDK-8301226)
The methods Math.clamp() and StrictMath.clamp() are added to conveniently clamp the numeric value between the specified minimum and maximum values. Four overloads are provided in both Math and StrictMath classes for int, long, float, and double types. A clamp(long value, int min, int max) overload can also be used to safely narrow a long value to int.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ New String indexOf(int,int,int) and indexOf(String,int,int) Methods to Support a Range of Indices (JDK-8302590)
Two new methods indexOf(int ch, int beginIndex, int endIndex) and indexOf(String str, int beginIndex, int endIndex) are added to java.lang.String to support forward searches of character ch, and of String str, respectively, and limited to the specified range of indices.
Besides full control on the search range, they are safer to use than indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex) and indexOf(String str, int fromIndex), respectively, because they throw an exception on illegal search ranges.
Method indexOf(int ch, int beginIndex, int endIndex) is covered by JDK-8302590, and method indexOf(String str, int beginIndex, int endIndex) is covered by JDK-8303648.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Unicode Emoji Properties (JDK-8303018)
The following six new methods are added to java.lang.Character for obtaining Emoji character properties, which are defined in the Unicode Emoji Technical Standard (UTS #51) :
isEmoji(int codePoint)
isEmojiPresentation(int codePoint)
isEmojiModifier(int codePoint)
isEmojiModifierBase(int codePoint)
isEmojiComponent(int codePoint)
isExtendedPictographic(int codePoint)
core-libs/java.lang
➜ New splitWithDelimiters() Methods Added to String and java.util.regex.Pattern (JDK-8305486)
Unlike the split() methods, these new splitWithDelimiters() methods in java.lang.String and java.util.regex.Pattern return an alternation of strings and matching delimiters, rather than just the strings.
core-libs/java.net
➜ The java.net.http.HttpClient Is Now AutoCloseable (JDK-8267140)
The following methods have been added to the API:
void close(): closes the client gracefully, waiting for submitted requests to complete.
void shutdown(): initiates a graceful shutdown, then returns immediately without waiting for the client to terminate.
void shutdownNow(): initiates an immediate shutdown, trying to interrupt active operations, and returns immediately without waiting for the client to terminate.
boolean awaitTermination(Duration duration): waits for the client to terminate, within the given duration; returns true if the client is terminated, false otherwise.
boolean isTerminated(): returns true if the client is terminated.
The instances returned by HttpClient.newHttpClient(), and the instances built from HttpClient.newBuilder(), provide a best effort implementation for these methods. They allow the reclamation of resources allocated by the HttpClient early, without waiting for its garbage collection.
Note that an HttpClient instance typically manages its own pools of connections, which it may then reuse when necessary. Connection pools are typically not shared between HttpClient instances. Creating a new client for each operation, though possible, will usually prevent reusing such connections.
core-libs/java.nio.charsets
➜ Support for GB18030-2022 (JDK-8301119)
China National Standard body (CESI) has recently published GB18030-2022 which is an updated version of the GB18030 standard and brings GB18030 in sync with Unicode version 11.0. The Charset implementation for this new standard has now replaced the prior 2000 standard. However, this new standard has some incompatible changes from the prior implementation. For those who need to use the old mappings, a new system property jdk.charset.GB18030 is introduced. By setting its value to 2000, the previous JDK releases' mappings for the GB18030 Charset are used which are based on the 2000 standard.
core-libs/java.util
➜ New StringBuilder and StringBuffer repeat Methods (JDK-8302323)
The methods public StringBuilder repeat(int codePoint, int count) and public StringBuilder repeat(CharSequence cs, int count) have been added to java.lang.StringBuilder and java.lang.StringBuffer to simplify the appending of multiple copies of characters or strings. For example, sb.repeat('-', 80) will insert 80 hyphens into the value of the java.lang.StringBuilder sb object.
core-libs/java.util.regex
➜ Emoji Related Binary Properties in RegEx (JDK-8305107)
Emoji-related properties introduced in (JDK-8303018) can now be used as binary properties in the java.util.regex.Pattern class. One can match characters that have Emoji-related properties with the new p{IsXXX} constructs. For example,
Pattern.compile("\p{IsEmoji}").matcher("🉐").matches()
returns true.
core-libs/java.util:collections
➜ Sequenced Collections (JEP 431)
The Sequenced Collection API introduces several new interfaces into the collections framework, providing enhancements to many existing collections classes. The new API facilitates access to elements at each end of a sequenced collection, and provides the ability to view and iterate such collections in reverse order. See JEP 431 for additional information.
The introduction of new collections interfaces, along with default methods, introduces some compatibility risk, including the possibility of both source and binary incompatibilities. The introduction of default methods in an interface hierarchy may cause conflicts with methods declared on existing classes or interfaces that extend collections interfaces - this could result in either source or binary incompatibilities. The introduction of new interfaces also introduces new types into the system, which can change the results of type inference, leading in turn to source incompatibilities.
For a discussion of potential incompatibilities and possible ways to mitigate them, please see the document JDK 21: Sequenced Collections Incompatibilities.
core-svc/tools
➜ Warning Printed When an Agent Is Loaded into a Running VM (JEP 451)
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) now prints a warning to standard error when a JVM Tool Interface (JVM TI) agent or Java Agent is dynamically loaded into a running JVM. The warning is intended to prepare for a future release that disallows, by default, dynamic loading of agent code into a running JVM.
Agents are programs that run in the JVM process and make use of powerful JVM TI or java.lang.instrument APIs. These APIs are designed to support tooling such as profilers and debuggers. Agents are started via a command line option, for example -agentlib or -javaagent, or they can be started into a running VM using the JDK specific com.sun.tools.attach API or the jcmd command. Agents loaded into a running VM will now print a warning. There is no warning for agents that are loaded at startup via command line options.
The HotSpot VM option EnableDynamicAgentLoading controls dynamic loading of agents. This option has existed since JDK 9. The default, since JDK 9, is to allow dynamic loading of agents. Running with -XX:+EnableDynamicAgentLoading on the command line serves as an explicit "opt-in" that allows agent code to be loaded into a running VM and thus suppresses the warning. Running with -XX:-EnableDynamicAgentLoading disallows agent code from being loaded into a running VM and can be used to test possible future behavior.
In addition, the system property jdk.instrument.traceUsage can be used to trace uses of the java.lang.instrument API. Running with -Djdk.instrument.traceUsage or -Djdk.instrument.traceUsage=true causes usages of the API to print a trace message and stack trace. This can be used to identify agents that are dynamically loaded instead of being started on the command line with -javaagent.
More information on this change can be found in JEP 451.
hotspot/gc
➜ Generational ZGC (JEP 439)
Applications running with Generational ZGC should enjoy:
Lower risks of allocations stalls,
Lower required heap memory overhead, and
Lower garbage collection CPU overhead.
Enable Generational ZGC with command line options -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+ZGenerational
For further details, see JEP 439.
hotspot/gc
➜ Last Resort G1 Full GC Moves Humongous Objects (JDK-8191565)
A full garbage collection (GC) in the Garbage First (G1) collector now moves humongous objects to avoid Out-Of-Memory situations due to a lack of contiguous space in the Java heap when the application allocates humongous objects.
Previously, G1 failed to allocate those humongous objects, reporting an Out-Of-Memory exception in this situation.
This functionality is a last resort measure, causing a second full GC in the same pause after the previous full GC fails to clear out enough contiguous memory for the allocation.
hotspot/jfr
➜ New JFR View Command (JDK-8306703)
A new view command has been added to the JFR tool and jcmd. The command can aggregate and display event data in a tabular form without the need to dump a recording file or open JDK Mission Control. There are 70 predefined views, such as hot-methods, gc-pauses, pinned-threads, allocation-by-site, gc, memory-leaks-by-class, and more. A list of available views can be found through using jcmd <pid> JFR.view or jfr view.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Enhanced OCSP, Certificate, and CRL Fetch Timeouts (JDK-8179502)
This feature delivers an enhanced syntax for properties related to certificate, CRL, and OCSP connect and read timeouts. The new syntax allows the timeout values to be specified either in seconds or milliseconds. This feature also delivers three new System properties related to connect and read timeouts.
New properties: The existing com.sun.security.ocsp.timeout property will now be paired with the new com.sun.security.ocsp.readtimeout property. The former property will be used to set timeouts for the transport-layer connection while the latter will be used to manage timeouts for reading the data. The new com.sun.security.cert.timeout and com.sun.security.cert.readtimeout properties will be used to control connect and read timeouts, respectively, when following an X.509 certificate's AuthorityInfoAccess extension. For the certificate fetching properties, the com.sun.security.enableAIAcaIssuers property must be set to true in order for fetching to occur and these property timeouts to be enabled.
Enhanced timeout syntax: The new syntax applies to the aforementioned properties, and also to the com.sun.security.crl.timeout and com.sun.security.crl.readtimeout properties as well. The allowed syntax is as follows:
A decimal integer will be interpreted in seconds and ensures backward compatibility.
A decimal integer ending in "s" (case-insensitive, no space) appended to it. This will also be interpreted in seconds.
A decimal integer value with "ms" (case-insensitive, no space) appended to it. This will be interpreted as milliseconds. For example, a value of "2500ms" will be a 2.5 second timeout.
Negative, non-numeric, or non-decimal (for example, hexadecimal values prepended by "0x") values will be interpreted as illegal and will default to the 15 second timeout.
Whether the value is interpreted in seconds or milliseconds, a value of zero will disable the timeout.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Support for HSS/LMS Signature Verification (JDK-8298127)
A new standard signature algorithm named "HSS/LMS" has been introduced. The HSS/LMS algorithm is defined in RFC 8554: Leighton-Micali Hash-Based Signatures and NIST Special Publication 800-208. New KeyFactory and Signature implementations are available for the algorithm. The KeyFactory only operates on public keys and the Signature only covers the verification part.
security-libs/javax.crypto
➜ SunJCE Provider Now Supports SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 As Digests for the PBES2 Algorithms (JDK-8288050)
The SunJCE provider is enhanced with additional PBES2 Cipher and Mac algorithms, such as those using SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 message digests. To be more specific, callers can now use the SunJCE provider for PBEWithHmacSHA512/224AndAES_128, PBEWithHmacSHA512/256AndAES_128, PBEWithHmacSHA512/224AndAES_256, and PBEWithHmacSHA512/256AndAES_256 Ciphers and PBEWithHmacSHA512/224, and PBEWithHmacSHA512/256 Mac.
security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11
➜ Support for Password-Based Cryptography in SunPKCS11 (JDK-8301553)
The SunPKCS11 security provider now supports Password-Based Cryptography algorithms for Cipher, Mac, and SecretKeyFactory service types. You will find the list of algorithms in JDK-8308719. As a result of this enhancement, SunPKCS11 can now be used for privacy and integrity in PKCS #12 key stores.
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto
➜ New System Property to Toggle XML Signature Secure Validation Mode (JDK-8301260)
A new system property named org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation has been added. It can be used to enable or disable the XML Signature secure validation mode. The system property should be set to "true" to enable, or "false" to disable. Any other value for the system property is treated as "false". If the system property is set, it supersedes the XMLCryptoContext property value.
By default, the secure validation mode is enabled. Disabling the secure validation mode should be done at your own risk.
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto
➜ Update XML Security for Java to 3.0.2 (JDK-8305972)
The XML Signature implementation has been updated to Santuario 3.0.2. The main, new feature is support for EdDSA. One difference is that the JDK still supports the here() function by default. However, we recommend avoiding the use of the here() function in new signatures and replacing existing signatures that use the here() function. Future versions of the JDK will likely disable, and eventually remove, support for this function, as it cannot be supported using the standard Java XPath API. Users can now disable the here() function by setting the security property jdk.xml.dsig.hereFunctionSupported to "false".
specification/language
➜ String Templates (Preview) (JEP 430)
String templates allow text and expressions to be composed without using the + operator. The result is often a string, but can also be an object of another type. Each string template has a template processor that validates the text and expressions before composing them, achieving greater safety than basic 'string interpolation' features in other languages.
specification/language
➜ Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods (Preview) (JEP 445)
Unnamed classes and instance main methods enable students to write streamlined declarations for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs later to use more advanced features as their skills grow. Unnamed classes allow the user to provide class content without the full ceremony of the class declaration. The instance main method feature allows the user to drop the formality of public static void main(String[] args) and simply declare void main().
tools/javac
➜ New javac Warning When Calling Overridable Methods in Constructors (JDK-8015831)
The new lint option, this-escape, has been added to javac to warn about calls to overridable methods in the constructor body which might result in access to a partially constructed object from subclasses.
The new warning can be suppressed using SuppressWarnings("this-escape").
tools/javac
➜ Generate "output file clash" Warning when an Output File is Overwritten During Compilation (JDK-8287885)
Prior to JDK 21, the javac compiler was overwriting some output files during compilation. This can occur, for example, on case-insensitive file systems.
Starting from JDK 21 a new compiler option: -Xlint:output-file-clash has been added to the javac compiler. This new option should provide a way for users experiencing this problem to convert what is currently a runtime error into a compile-time warning (or error with -Werror). This new compiler option enables output file clash detection. The term "output file" covers class files, source files, and native header files.
tools/javadoc(tool)
➜ Support Searching for Section Headings in Generated Documentation (JDK-8286470)
API documentation generated by JavaDoc now supports searching for headings of sections within the documentation.
tools/jshell
➜ JDK Tool Access in JShell (JDK-8306560)
The JShell tool for interactive exploration of Java code has been enhanced with a new predefined script, TOOLING. The TOOLING script provides direct access to the JDK's command line tools, such as javac, javadoc, and javap, from within JShell.
Similar to the existing predefined DEFAULT and PRINTING scripts, the TOOLING script can be loaded when JShell starts by running: jshell TOOLING. Alternatively, it can be loaded within a JShell session by using: /open TOOLING. With the TOOLING script loaded, JDK tools can be run by passing a name and arguments to the method run(String name, String... args). The method tools() prints the names of available tools.
The TOOLING script defines convenience methods for the most commonly used tools, such as javac(String... args). Here is an example of running the javap tool that disassembles and prints an overview of a class or interface:
jshell> interface Empty {}
jshell> javap(Empty.class)
tools/launcher
➜ -XshowSettings:locale Output Now Includes Tzdata Version (JDK-8305950)
The -XshowSettings launcher option has been enhanced to print the tzdata version configured with the JDK. The tzdata version is displayed as part of the locale showSettings option.
Example output using -X:showSettings:locale:
.....
Locale settings:
default locale = English
default display locale = English
default format locale = English
tzdata version = 2023c
.....
xml/jaxp
➜ Changes to JAXP Configuration Files (JDK-8303530)
The following changes have been made with regard to the JAXP configuration files:
Added the jaxp.properties file to the JDK at $JAVA_HOME/conf/jaxp.properties as the default JAXP configuration file. Property settings in the file reflect the current, built-in defaults for the JDK.
Added a new System Property, java.xml.config.file, for specifying the location of a custom configuration file. If it is set and the named file exists, the property settings contained in the file override those in the default JAXP configuration file. For more details, see the Configuration section of the module specification.
Deprecated the stax.properties file that was defined in the StAX API and used by the StAX factories. It had been made redundant after StAX's integration into JAXP since the function has been fully covered by the JAXP configuration file. It is recommended that applications migrate to the JAXP configuration file as the stax.properties file is deprecated and may no longer be supported in the future.
Removed Features and Options:
This section describes the APIs, features, and options that were removed in Java SE 21 and JDK 21. The APIs described here are those that are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 21 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 21 and JDK 21 is the Java SE 21 ( JSR 396) Platform Specification, which documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 20 and Java SE 21. This document includes the identification of removed APIs and features not described here. The descriptions below might also identify potential compatibility issues that you could encounter when migrating to JDK 21. See CSRs Approved for JDK 21 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 21.
core-libs/java.io
➜ java.io.File's Canonical Path Cache Is Removed (JDK-8300977)
java.io.File has historically cached canonical paths, and part paths, to help the performance of the File::getCanonicalFile and File::getCanonicalPath when running with a SecurityManager set. The cache had correctness issues in environments with symbolic links and has been disabled by default since JDK 12. The cache has been removed in this release, along with the system properties sun.io.useCanonCaches and sun.io.useCanonPrefixCache. Setting these properties no longer has any effect.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ ThreadGroup.allowThreadSuspension Is Removed (JDK-8297295)
The method java.lang.ThreadGroup.allowThreadSuspension(boolean) has been removed in this release. The method was used for low memory handling in JDK 1.1 but was never fully specified. It was deprecated and changed to "do nothing" in JDK 1.2 (1998).
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Removal of the java.compiler System Property (JDK-8041676)
The system property java.compiler has been removed from the list of standard system properties.
Running with this system property set on the command line will now print a warning to say that the system property is obsolete; it has no other effect. In previous releases, running with -Djava.compiler or -Djava.compiler=NONE on the command line selected interpreter only execution mode. If needed, the -Xint option can be used to run in interpreter only mode.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ The java.lang.Compiler Class Has Been Removed (JDK-8205129)
The java.lang.Compiler class has been removed. This under-specified API dates from JDK 1.0 and the "Classic VM" used in early JDK releases. Its implementation in the HotSpot VM does nothing but print a warning that it is not supported. The class has been deprecated and marked for removal since Java SE 9.
core-libs/java.util.jar
➜ Remove the JAR Index Feature (JDK-8302819)
The "JAR Index" feature has been dropped from the JAR file specification. JAR Index was a legacy optimization in early JDK releases to allow downloading of JAR files to be postponed when loading applets or other classes over the network. The feature has been disabled since JDK 18, meaning the META-INF/INDEX.LIST entry in a JAR file is ignored at run-time.
The system property jdk.net.URLClassPath.enableJarIndex, introduced in JDK 18 to re-enable the feature, has been removed. Setting this property no longer has any effect.
As part of the change, the jar tool will now output a warning if the -i or --generate-index options are used.
core-svc/javax.management
➜ javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIIIOPServerImpl Is Removed (JDK-8307244)
The class javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIIIOPServerImpl has been removed. The IIOP transport was removed from the JMX Remote API in JDK 9. This class has been deprecated and its constructor changed to throw UnsupportedOperationException since Java SE 9.
hotspot/gc
➜ Removal of G1 Hot Card Cache (JDK-8225409)
The G1 Hot Card Cache has been removed. Performance testing has shown that after improvements to the concurrent refinement control, it does not contribute to performance.
Removal reduces the memory footprint of the G1 garbage collector by around 0.2% of the Java heap size.
The associated configuration options G1ConcRSLogCacheSize and G1ConcRSHotCardLimit have been obsoleted. A warning will be issued at startup about these options if they are used.
hotspot/runtime
➜ Obsolete Legacy HotSpot Parallel Class Loading Workaround Option -XX:+EnableWaitForParallelLoad Is Removed (JDK-8298469)
Some older, user-defined class loaders would workaround a deadlock issue by releasing the class loader lock during the loading process. To prevent these loaders from encountering a java.lang.LinkageError: attempted duplicate class definition while loading the same class by parallel threads, the HotSpot Virtual Machine introduced a workaround in JDK 6 that serialized the load attempts, causing the subsequent attempts to wait for the first to complete.
The need for class loaders to work this way was removed in JDK 7 when parallel-capable class loaders were introduced, but the workaround remained in the VM. The workaround was deprecated in JDK 20 and the option -XX:+EnableWaitForParallelLoad was introduced for users who relied on this legacy behavior. The default for this option was off.
In JDK 21, the option -XX:+EnableWaitForParallelLoad, and the code to support it, has been removed.
See CSR JDK-8304056 for more details.
hotspot/runtime
➜ The MetaspaceReclaimPolicy Flag has Been Obsoleted (JDK-8302385)
The option MetaspaceReclaimPolicy existed to fine-tune the memory reclamation behavior of metaspace after class unloading. In practice, this had limited effect and was rarely used.
The option has therefore been obsoleted. It now produces an obsolete warning and is ignored.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Removed SECOM Trust System's RootCA1 Root Certificate (JDK-8295894)
The following root certificate from SECOM Trust System has been removed from the cacerts keystore:
+ alias name "secomscrootca1 [jdk]"
Distinguished Name: OU=Security Communication RootCA1, O=SECOM Trust.net, C=JP
security-libs/jdk.security
➜ Removal of ContentSigner APIs and jarsigner -altsigner and -altsignerpath Options (JDK-8303410)
The jarsigner options -altsigner and -altsignerpath have been removed, along with the underlying ContentSigner API in the com.sun.jarsigner package. The mechanism was deprecated in JDK 9 and marked for removal in JDK 15.
Deprecated Features and Options:
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 21 and JDK 21 include:
The Deprecated API page identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 21.
The Java SE 21 ( JSR 396) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 20 and Java SE 21 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 21. See CSRs Approved for JDK 21 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 21.
client-libs/java.awt
➜ Deprecate GTK2 for Removal (JDK-8280031)
Implementation support for AWT/Swing using GTK2 on Linux is now deprecated for removal.
With the announcement of the GTK4 release in December 2020, the GTK 2 toolkit is reaching its end of life. GTK2 support is therefore expected to be removed some time after no JDK supported platform needs it.
GTK3 is the current default and Swing applications which opt-in to using GTK2 on Linux by setting the System Property -Djdk.gtk.version=2 will now see the following warning printed:
WARNING: the GTK 2 library is deprecated and its support will be removed in a future release.
core-libs/java.nio
➜ com.sun.nio.file.SensitivityWatchEventModifier Is Deprecated (JDK-8303175)
com.sun.nio.file.SensitivityWatchEventModifier has been deprecated and is marked for removal in a future release. The constants in this enum were used with the polling based WatchService implementation on macOS to set the interval when polling files for changes. The polling based WatchService has been changed to ignore these modifiers when registering files to be watched.
core-libs/java.util:i18n
➜ Emit Warning for Removal of COMPAT Provider (JDK-8304982)
Users now see a warning message if they specify either COMPAT or JRE locale data with the java.locale.providers system property and call some locale-sensitive operations. COMPAT was provided for migration to the CLDR locale data at the time of JDK 9, where it became the default locale data (JEP 252). JDK 21 retains the legacy locale data of JDK 8 for compatibility, but some of the newer functionalities are not applied. The legacy locale data will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to migrate to the CLDR locale data.
core-svc/javax.management
➜ Deprecate JMX Subject Delegation and the JMXConnector.getMBeanServerConnection(Subject) Method for Removal (JDK-8298966)
The JMX Subject Delegation feature is deprecated and marked for removal in a future release. This feature is enabled by the method javax.management.remote.JMXConnector.getMBeanServerConnection(javax.security.auth.Subject) which is deprecated for removal.
If a client application needs to perform operations as, or on behalf of, multiple identities, it will need to make multiple calls to JMXConnectorFactory.connect() and to the getMBeanServerConnection() method on the returned JMXConnector.
Notable Issues Resolved:
The following notes describe previous known issues or limitations that have been corrected in this release.
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Fixed Indefinite jspawnhelper Hangs (JDK-8307990)
Since JDK 13, executing commands in a sub-process uses the so-called POSIX_SPAWN launching mechanism (that is, -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=POSIX_SPAWN) by default on Linux. In cases where the parent JVM process terminates abnormally before the handshake between the JVM and the newly created jspawnhelper process has completed, jspawnhelper can hang indefinitely in JDK 13 to JDK 20. This issue is fixed in JDK 21. The issue was especially harmful if the parent process had open sockets, because in that case, the forked jspawnhelper process will inherit them and keep all the corresponding ports open, effectively preventing other processes from binding to them.
This misbehavior has been observed with applications which frequently fork child processes in environments with tight memory constraints. In such cases, the OS can kill the JVM in the middle of the forking process leading to the described issue. Restarting the JVM process after such a crash will be impossible if the new process tries to bind to the same ports as the initial application because they will be blocked by the hanging jspawnhelper child process.
The root cause of this issue is jspawnhelper's omission to close its writing end of the pipe, which is used for the handshake with the parent JVM. It was fixed by closing the writing end of the communication pipe before attempting to read data from the parent process. This way, jspawnhelper will reliably read an EOF event from the communication pipe and terminate once the parent process dies prematurely.
A second variant of this issue could happen because the handshaking code in the JDK didn't handle interrupts to write(2) correctly. This could lead to incomplete messages being sent to the jspawnhelper child process. The result is a deadlock between the parent thread and the child process which manifests itself in a jspawnhelper process being blocked while reading from a pipe and the following stack trace in the corresponding parent Java process:
java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.forkAndExec([email protected]/Native Method)
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>([email protected]/ProcessImpl.java:314)
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start([email protected]/ProcessImpl.java:244)
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start([email protected]/ProcessBuilder.java:1110)
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start([email protected]/ProcessBuilder.java:1073)
core-libs/java.time
➜ Error Computing the Amount of Milli- and Microseconds between java.time.Instants (JDK-8307466)
The computation of the time between java.time.Instants using ChronoUnit.MILLIS.between(t1, t2), ChronoUnit.MICROS.between(t1, t2), t1.until(t2, MILLIS), or t1.until(t2, MICROS) has been corrected. The implementation computing the number of units between Instants, as of JDK 18, did not propagate carry and borrow between seconds and nanoseconds when computing milliseconds and microseconds.
install/install
➜ Installation of JDK RPM Corrupts Alternatives (JDK-8308244 (not public))
The JDK RPM installer will remove incorrectly constructed entries of "java" and "javac" groups registered by older Oracle JDK RPM installers from the alternatives before registering new "java" and "javac" entries.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "java" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "javac" group.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "javac" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "java" group.
All incorrectly constructed entries belonging to Oracle JDK RPM packages will be removed from the alternatives to avoid corruption of the alternatives internal data.
The removal has a potential side effect for users who have installed multiple JDK versions that are not updated to the latest release. Commands from a removed "java" or "javac" group are now unavailable for system Java switch, which potentially changes the current system Java without a warning. For example, if there is an out-of-date JDK RPM from an 11+ release, say 11.0.17, with an incorrectly constructed single "java" group installed and 8u381 RPM with this patch is installed, it will remove an entry from the "java" group belonging to the 11.0.17 RPM and thus will switch the current system Java from 11.0.17 to 8u381. The side effect will only happen when you install a lower JDK family with the fix, such as 8u381, and there is an out-of-date JDK from a higher family, such as 11.0.17, installed on the system. In that case, 8u381 will replace the older 11.0.17 as the latest. The remedy for the user is to install the latest JDK 11.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Enhance Contents (Trusted Certificate Entries) of macOS KeychainStore (JDK-8303465)
The macOS KeychainStore implementation now exposes certificates with proper trust in the user domain, admin domain, or both. Before, only the user domain was considered. Furthermore, if there exists a "deny" entry for a particular purpose in a certificate's trust settings in either domain, the certificate will not be part of the macOS KeychainStore.
security-libs/javax.crypto
➜ Allow Key/Nonce Reuse for DECRYPT_MODE ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 Cipher Objects (JDK-8305091)
The SunJCE implementation for Cipher objects using the ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithms will now allow key/nonce reuse when in DECRYPT_MODE. This change aligns these algorithms with the current SunJCE AES-GCM decrypt mode behavior as it pertains to key/nonce reuse. All ENCRYPT_MODE key/nonce reuse prohibitions remain unchanged from their current behavior.
tools/javac
➜ Disallow Extra Semicolons Between "import" Statements (JDK-8027682)
The Java Language Specification does not allow extra semicolons to appear between import statements, yet the compiler was allowing them; JDK-8027682 fixed this.
As a result, a program like this, which previously would have compiled successfully:
import java.util.Map;;;;
import java.util.Set;
class Test { }
will now generate an error:
Test.java:1: error: extraneous semicolon
import java.util.Map;;;;
For backward compatibility, when compiling source versions prior to 21, a warning is generated instead of an error.
Known Issues:
The following notes describe known issues or limitations in this release.
core-libs/java.util.jar
➜ Validations on ZIP64 Extra Fields (JDK-8313765)
A JDK enhancement has improved validation of the ZIP64 Extra Fields contained within zip files and jar files. Files which do not satisfy these new validation checks may result in ZipException : Invalid CEN header (invalid zip64 extra data field size).
The following third party tools have released patches to better adhere to the ZIP File Format Specification:
Apache Commons Compress fix for Empty CEN Zip64 Extra Headers fixed in Commons Compress release 1.11
Apache Ant fix for Empty CEN Zip64 Extra Headers fixed in Ant 1.10.14
BND issue with writing invalid Extra Headers fixed in BND 5.3
The maven-bundle-plugin 5.1.5 includes the BND 5.3 patch.
If these improved validation checks cause issues for deployed zip or jar files, check how the file was created and whether patches are available from the generating software to resolve the issue. The new validation checks can be disabled by adding -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation=true to the runtime launcher arguments.
Further modification of validations on ZIP64 Extra Fields contained within zip and jar files will be made in the upcoming JDK release. See JDK-8313765.
core-libs/java.util.regex
➜ java.util.regex.MatchResult Might Throw StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on Regex Patterns Containing Lookaheads and Lookbehinds (JDK-8132995)
JDK-8132995 introduced an unintended regression when using instances returned by java.util.regex.Matcher.toMatchResult().
This happens on java.util.regex.Patterns containing lookaheads and lookbehinds that, in turn, contain groups. If these are located outside the match, it results in throwing StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when accessing these groups. See JDK-8312976 for an example.
hotspot/compiler
➜ JVM May Crash or Malfunction When Using ZGC and Non-Default ObjectAlignmentInBytes (JDK-8312749)
Running the JVM with -XX:+UseZGC and non-default value of -XX:ObjectAlignmentInBytes may lead to JVM crashes or incorrect execution. The issue is caused by an incorrect JIT compiler optimization of the java.lang.Object.clone() method for this configuration. If using ZGC with a non-default value of ObjectAlignmentInBytes is desired, JIT compilation of java.lang.Object.clone() can be disabled using the command-line options -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:DisableIntrinsic=_clone.
hotspot/gc
➜ JVM May Hang When Using Generational ZGC if a VM Handshake Stalls on Memory (JDK-8311981)
The JVM can hang under an uncommon condition that involves the JVM running out of heap memory, the GC just starting a relocation phase to reclaim memory, and a JVM thread-local Handshake asking to relocate an object.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 21 Build 33 OpenJDK EA (Jul 28, 2023)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 20.0.2 (Jul 19, 2023)

JDK 20.0.2 contains IANA time zone data 2023c which contains the following changes:
Egypt now uses DST again, from April through October.
This year Morocco springs forward April 23, not April 30.
Palestine delays the start of DST this year.
Much of Greenland still uses DST from 2024 on.
America/Yellowknife now links to America/Edmonton.
tzselect can now use current time to help infer timezone.
The code now defaults to C99 or later.
Fix use of C23 attributes.
Lebanon delays the start of DST this year.
This release's code and data are identical to 2023a.
New Features:
core-libs/java.nio.charsets
➜ Support for GB18030-2022 (JDK-8307229):
The China National Standard body (CESI) has recently published GB18030-2022, which is an updated version of the GB18030 standard and brings GB18030 in sync with Unicode version 11.0. The Charset implementation for this new standard has now replaced the prior 2000 standard. However, this new standard has some incompatible changes from the prior implementation. For those who need to use the old mappings, a new system property, jdk.charset.GB18030, is introduced. By setting its value to 2000, the previous JDK releases' mappings for the GB18030 Charset are used, which are based on the 2000 standard.
Known Issues:
install
➜ Problem Upgrading JDK on Windows if System User Is Using Shared Files (JDK-8310932 (not public)):
Installing into the same, shared jdk-(family) directory is the default behavior for the JDK starting with the July 2023 CPU. It could lead to FilesInUse issues if JDK files are locked by the "System User". We recommend shutting down any apps using the JDK as the "System User" before upgrading.
Other Notes:
install/install
➜ Missing /usr/java/default Symlink on Linux Restored (JDK-8306690):
A regression where the /usr/java/default symlink is not created by RPM installers on Linux platforms has been fixed. Installers will create the /usr/java/default symlink if it doesn't exist, targeting the /usr/java/latest symlink.
install/install
➜ Installation of JDK RPM Corrupts Alternatives (JDK-8308244):
The JDK RPM installer will remove incorrectly constructed entries of "java" and "javac" groups registered by older Oracle JDK RPM installers from the alternatives before registering new "java" and "javac" entries.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "java" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "javac" group.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "javac" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "java" group.
All incorrectly constructed entries belonging to Oracle JDK RPM packages will be removed from the alternatives to avoid corruption of the alternatives internal data.
The removal has a potential side effect for users who have installed multiple JDK versions that are not updated to the latest release. Commands from a removed "java" or "javac" group are now unavailable for system Java switch, which potentially changes the current system Java without a warning. For example, if there is an out-of-date JDK RPM from an 11+ release, say 11.0.17, with an incorrectly constructed single "java" group installed and 8u381 RPM with this patch is installed, it will remove an entry from the "java" group belonging to the 11.0.17 RPM and thus will switch the current system Java from 11.0.17 to 8u381. The side effect will only happen when you install a lower JDK family with the fix, such as 8u381, and there is an out-of-date JDK from a higher family, such as 11.0.17, installed on the system. In that case, 8u381 will replace the older 11.0.17 as the latest. The remedy for the user is to install the latest JDK 11.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added TWCA Root CA Certificate (JDK-8305975):
The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ TWCA
+ twcaglobalrootca
DN: CN=TWCA Global Root CA, OU=Root CA, O=TAIWAN-CA, C=TW
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added 4 GTS Root CA Certificates (JDK-8307134)
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Google Trust Services LLC

DN: CN=Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017, O=Microsoft Corporation, C=US
hotspot/runtime
➜ ASLR Support for CDS Archive (JDK-8294323 (not public))
Starting with the July 2023 CPU, on operating systems where ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is enabled, the CDS archive will be placed at a random address picked by the operating system.
This change may have a minor performance impact: (a) Start-up time may increase because the JVM needs to patch pointers inside the CDS archive. (b) Memory usage may increase because the memory used by the CDS archive is no longer shareable across processes. We expect the impact to be small because such increases should be only a small fraction of the overall application usage.
In the unlikely event that you must disable ASLR for CDS, you can use the JVM flags -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:ArchiveRelocationMode=0. The usage of such flags is not recommended.
security-libs/java.security
➜ New System Property to Control the Maximum Size of Signature Files (JDK-8300596 (not public)):
A new system property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, has been added to allow applications to control the maximum size of signature files in a signed JAR. The value of the system property is the desired size in bytes. The default value is 8000000 bytes.
core-libs/java.util.jar
➜ Improved ZIP64 Extra Field Validation (JDK-8302483 (not public)):
java.util.zip.ZipFile has been updated to provide additional validation of ZIP64 extra fields when opening a ZIP file. This validation may be disabled by setting the system property jdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation to true.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 11.0.20 (Jul 18, 2023)

IANA TZ Data 2023c:
JDK 11.0.20 contains IANA time zone data 2023c which contains the following changes:
Egypt now uses DST again, from April through October.
This year Morocco springs forward April 23, not April 30.
Palestine delays the start of DST this year.
Much of Greenland still uses DST from 2024 on.
America/Yellowknife now links to America/Edmonton.
tzselect can now use current time to help infer timezone.
The code now defaults to C99 or later.
Fix use of C23 attributes.
Lebanon delays the start of DST this year.
This release's code and data are identical to 2023a.
New Features:
core-libs/java.lang
➜ Allow Additional Characters for GB18030-2022 Support (JDK-8301401):
The China National Standard body (CESI) has recently published GB18030-2022, which is an updated version of the GB18030 standard and brings GB18030 in sync with Unicode version 11.0. The purpose of this enhancement is to incorporate 5 code points (U+9FEB - U+9FEF) from Unicode 11.0 into Java SE 11 to allow implementations to comply with their Implementation Level 1 requirements.
core-libs/java.nio.charsets
➜ Support for GB18030-2022 (JDK-8307229):
The China National Standard body (CESI) has recently published GB18030-2022, which is an updated version of the GB18030 standard and brings GB18030 in sync with Unicode version 11.0. The Charset implementation for this new standard has now replaced the prior 2000 standard. However, this new standard has some incompatible changes from the prior implementation. For those who need to use the old mappings, a new system property, jdk.charset.GB18030, is introduced. By setting its value to 2000, the previous JDK releases' mappings for the GB18030 Charset are used, which are based on the 2000 standard.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Windows KeyStore Updated to Include Access to the Local Machine Location (JDK-6782021):
The Windows KeyStore support in the SunMSCAPI provider has been expanded to include access to the local machine location. The new keystore types are:
"Windows-MY-LOCALMACHINE"
"Windows-ROOT-LOCALMACHINE"
The following keystore types were also added, allowing developers to make it clear they map to the current user:
"Windows-MY-CURRENTUSER" (same as "Windows-MY")
"Windows-ROOT-CURRENTUSER" (same as "Windows-ROOT")
security-libs/java.security
➜ New JFR Event: jdk.InitialSecurityProperty (JDK-8292177):
A new Java Flight Recorder (JFR) event has been added to record details of initial security properties when loaded via the java.security.Security class.
The new event name is jdk.InitialSecurityProperty and contains the following fields:
key Security Property Key
value Corresponding Security Property Value
This new JFR event is enabled by default. The java.security.debug=properties system property will also now print initial security properties to the standard error stream. With this new event and the already available jdk.SecurityPropertyModification event (when enabled since it is not enabled by default), a JFR recording can now monitor the initial settings of all security properties and any subsequent changes.
security-libs/java.security
➜ New JFR Event: jdk.SecurityProviderService (JDK-8254711):
A new Java Flight Recorder (JFR) event has been added to record details of java.security.Provider.getService(String type, String algorithm) calls.
The new event name is jdk.SecurityProviderService and contains the following fields:
type Type of Service
algorithm Algorithm Name
provider Security Provider
This event is disabled by default and can be enabled via the JFR configuration files or via standard JFR options.
security-libs/javax.crypto
➜ JDK Now Accepts RSA Keys in PKCS#1 Format (JDK-8023980):
RSA private and public keys in PKCS#1 format can now be accepted by JDK providers, such as the RSA KeyFactory.impl from the SunRsaSign provider. The RSA private or public key object should have the PKCS#1 format and an encoding matching the ASN.1 syntax for a PKCS#1 RSA private key and public key.
Known Issues:
install
➜ Problem Upgrading JDK on Windows if System User Is Using Shared Files (JDK-8310932 (not public)):
Installing into the same, shared jdk-(family) directory is the default behavior for the JDK starting with the July 2023 CPU. It could lead to FilesInUse issues if JDK files are locked by the "System User". We recommend shutting down any apps using the JDK as the "System User" before upgrading.
Other Notes
core-libs/java.nio
➜ System Property to Turn off JDK-8251329 Restrictions (JDK-8302992):
A new system property, jdk.nio.zipfs.allowDotZipEntry, has been introduced. This system property can be used to remove the newly added restrictions in the Zip FS provider, which currently rejects ZIP files that contain entries with "." or ".." in name elements by default. Refer to the CSR for more detail.
install/install
➜ Missing /usr/java/default Symlink on Linux Restored (JDK-8306690):
A regression where the /usr/java/default symlink is not created by RPM installers on Linux platforms has been fixed. Installers will create the /usr/java/default symlink if it doesn't exist, targeting the /usr/java/latest symlink.
install/install
➜ Installation of JDK RPM Corrupts Alternatives (JDK-8308244):
The JDK RPM installer will remove incorrectly constructed entries of "java" and "javac" groups registered by older Oracle JDK RPM installers from the alternatives before registering new "java" and "javac" entries.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "java" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "javac" group.
An incorrectly constructed entry of the "javac" group contains commands that are supposed to belong to the "java" group.
All incorrectly constructed entries belonging to Oracle JDK RPM packages will be removed from the alternatives to avoid corruption of the alternatives internal data.
The removal has a potential side effect for users who have installed multiple JDK versions that are not updated to the latest release. Commands from a removed "java" or "javac" group are now unavailable for system Java switch, which potentially changes the current system Java without a warning. For example, if there is an out-of-date JDK RPM from an 11+ release, say 11.0.17, with an incorrectly constructed single "java" group installed and 8u381 RPM with this patch is installed, it will remove an entry from the "java" group belonging to the 11.0.17 RPM and thus will switch the current system Java from 11.0.17 to 8u381. The side effect will only happen when you install a lower JDK family with the fix, such as 8u381, and there is an out-of-date JDK from a higher family, such as 11.0.17, installed on the system. In that case, 8u381 will replace the older 11.0.17 as the latest. The remedy for the user is to install the latest JDK 11.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added TWCA Root CA Certificate (JDK-8305975):
The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ TWCA
+ twcaglobalrootca
DN: CN=TWCA Global Root CA, OU=Root CA, O=TAIWAN-CA, C=TW
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added 4 GTS Root CA Certificates (JDK-8307134)
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Google Trust Services LLC
+ gtsrootcar1
DN: CN=GTS Root R1, O=Google Trust Services LLC, C=US
+ Google Trust Services LLC
+ gtsrootcar2
DN: CN=GTS Root R2, O=Google Trust Services LLC, C=US
+ Google Trust Services LLC
+ gtsrootecccar3
DN: CN=GTS Root R3, O=Google Trust Services LLC, C=US
+ Google Trust Services LLC
+ gtsrootecccar4
DN: CN=GTS Root R4, O=Google Trust Services LLC, C=US
security-libs/java.security
➜ Added Microsoft Corporation's 2 TLS Root CA Certificates (JDK-8304760)
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Microsoft Corporation
+ microsoftecc2017
DN: CN=Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017, O=Microsoft Corporation, C=US
+ Microsoft Corporation
+ microsoftrsa2017
DN: CN=Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017, O=Microsoft Corporation, C=US
core-libs/java.lang
➜ System Property for Java SE Specification Maintenance Version (JDK-8302365):
This JDK implements Maintenance Release 2 of the Java SE 11 specification (JSR 384). This is indicated by the new system property java.specification.maintenance.version having the value of "2".
hotspot/compiler
➜ GregorianCalender.computeTime() JVM Crash (JDK-8308884):
A virtual machine crash was observed in JDK 11.0.19 and 17.0.7 when executing the GregorianCalender.computeTime() method (JDK-8307683). It was found that although the root cause of the crash is an old issue, a recent fix for a rare issue in the C2 compiler (JDK-8297951) made the crash much more likely. To mitigate this, the fix has been reverted in JDK 11.0.20 and 17.0.8 and will be reapplied once JDK-8307683 is resolved.
hotspot/runtime
➜ ASLR Support for CDS Archive (JDK-8294323 (not public)):
Starting with the July 2023 CPU, on operating systems where ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is enabled, the CDS archive will be placed at a random address picked by the operating system.
This change may have a minor performance impact: (a) Start-up time may increase because the JVM needs to patch pointers inside the CDS archive. (b) Memory usage may increase because the memory used by the CDS archive is no longer shareable across processes. We expect the impact to be small because such increases should be only a small fraction of the overall application usage.
In the unlikely event that you must disable ASLR for CDS, you can use the JVM flags -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:ArchiveRelocationMode=0. The usage of such flags is not recommended.
security-libs/java.security
➜ Throw Error If Default java.security File Fails to Load (JDK-8155246):
A behavioral change has been made when the default conf/security/java.security security configuration file fails to load. In such a scenario, the JDK will now throw an InternalError.
Such a scenario should never occur. The default security file should always be present. Prior to this change, a static security configuration was loaded.
security-libs/java.security
➜ New System Property to Control the Maximum Size of Signature Files (JDK-8300596 (not public)):
A new system property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, has been added to allow applications to control the maximum size of signature files in a signed JAR. The value of the system property is the desired size in bytes. The default value is 8000000 bytes.
core-libs/java.util.jar
➜ Improved ZIP64 Extra Field Validation (JDK-8302483 (not public)):
java.util.zip.ZipFile has been updated to provide additional validation of ZIP64 extra fields when opening a ZIP file. This validation may be disabled by setting the system property jdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation to true.
Bug Fixes:
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 17.0.7 (Apr 19, 2023)

JDK 17.0.7 contains IANA time zone data 2022g which contains the following changes:
The northern edge of Chihuahua changes to US timekeeping.
Much of Greenland stops changing clocks after March 2023.
Fix some pre-1996 timestamps in northern Canada.
C89 is now deprecated; please use C99 or later.
Portability fixes for AIX, libintl, MS-Windows, musl, z/OS.

Fixes for unlikely integer overflows.
New Features:
security-libs/java.security:
New JFR Event: jdk.InitialSecurityProperty (JDK-8292177)
A new Java Flight Recorder (JFR) event has been added to record details of initial security properties when loaded via the java.security.Security class.
Other Notes
client-libs/javax.swing:
➜ System Property to Handle HTML ObjectView Creation (JDK-8296832 (Not Public))
Some Swing components, such as JLabels and JButtons, which display application text, will try to interpret that text as HTML, principally to enable styled text. The HTML processing of the text for these components will no longer recognize the <object> tag which allows for subclasses of java.awt.Component to be rendered on the component. To re-enable this, applications must specify -Dswing.html.object=true.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Added Certigna(Dhimyotis) Root CA Certificate (JDK-8245654)
The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Certigna (Dhimyotis)
+ certignarootca
DN: CN=Certigna, O=Dhimyotis, C=FR
core-libs/java.io:
➜ File::listRoots Changed to Return All Available Drives on Windows (JDK-8208077)
The behavior of the method java.io.File.listRoots() on Microsoft Windows has changed in this release so that the returned array includes a File object for all available disk drives. This differs from the behavior in JDK 10 to JDK 20, where this method filtered out disk drives that were not accessible or did not have media present. This change avoids performance issues observed in these releases and also ensures that the method is consistent with the root directories in the iteration returned by FileSystem.getDefault().getRootDirectories().
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Throw Error If Default java.security File Fails to Load (JDK-8155246)
A behavioral change has been made in the case where the default conf/security/java.security security configuration file fails to load. In such a scenario, the JDK will now throw an InternalError.
Such a scenario should never occur. The default security file should always be present. Prior to this change, a static security configuration was loaded.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Crypto-J Exception for Diffie-Hellman and DSA AlgorithmParameters Requests (JDK-8278027)
Applications using the Dell BSAFE Crypto-J 3rd party security provider may encounter an IOException if decoding DH or DSA algorithm parameters with the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Could not decode parameters. at com.rsa.cryptoj.o.ms.engineInit(Unknown Source) at java.security.AlgorithmParameters.init(AlgorithmParameters.java:293):
Dell BSAFE Crypto-J version 6.2.6.2 has been released to address this issue. Applications using this provider should upgrade to that version or later. For applications on older versions of this provider, an interoperability fix has been added to this release of the JDK.
Bug Fixes:

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 20.0.1 (Apr 18, 2023)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 20 (Mar 21, 2023)

Major New Functionality:
Language Feature Previews:
JEP 432 Record Patterns (Second Preview):
Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to deconstruct record values. Record patterns and type patterns can be nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data navigation and processing. This is a preview language feature.
JEP 433 Pattern Matching for switch (Fourth Preview):
Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for switch expressions and statements. Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely. This is a preview language feature.
Libraries Preview:
JEP 434 Foreign Function & Memory API (Second Preview):
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI. This is a preview API.
JEP 438 Vector API (Fifth Incubator):
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
Concurrency Model Preview and Incubators:
JEP 429 Scoped Values (Incubator):
Introduce scoped values, which enable the sharing of immutable data within and across threads. They are preferred to thread-local variables, especially when using large numbers of virtual threads. This is an incubating API.
JEP 436 Virtual Threads (Second Preview):
Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. This is a preview API.
JEP 437 Structured Concurrency (Second Incubator):
Simplify multithreaded programming by introducing an API for structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats multiple tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability. This is an incubating API.
New Features:
This section describes some of the enhancements in Java SE 20 and JDK 20. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change. The APIs described here are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 20 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 20 and JDK 20 is the Java SE 20 (JSR 395) Platform Specification, which documents the changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 20. This document includes descriptions of those new features and enhancements that are also changes to the specification. The descriptions also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 20.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Support Unicode 15.0 (JDK-8284842):
This release upgrades the Unicode version to 15.0, which includes updated versions of the Unicode Character Database, Unicode Standard Annexes #9, #15, and #29: The java.lang.Character class supports Unicode Character Database, which adds 4,489 characters, for a total of 149,186 characters. These additions include 2 new scripts, for a total of 161 scripts, as well as 20 new emoji characters, and 4,193 CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs. The java.text.Bidi and java.text.Normalizer classes support Unicode Standard Annexes, #9 and #15, respectively. The java.util.regex package supports Extended Grapheme Clusters based on the Unicode Standard Annex #29. For more detail about Unicode 15.0, refer to the Unicode Consortium’s release note.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Add GarbageCollectorMXBean for Remark and Cleanup Pause Time in G1 (JDK-8297247):
A new GarbageCollectorMXBean named "G1 Concurrent GC" has been added to the G1 garbage collector.
This GarbageCollectorMXBean reports the occurrence and durations of the Remark and Cleanup garbage collection pauses.
Similar to the "CGC" field from jstat -gcutil, a complete concurrent mark cycle will increase the bean's collection counter by 2, one for the Remark and one for the Cleanup pauses. These pauses now also update the "G1 Old Gen" MemoryManagerMXBean memory pool.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ New JFR Event: jdk.InitialSecurityProperty (JDK-8292177):
A new Java Flight Recorder (JFR) event has been added to record details of initial security properties when loaded via the java.security.Security class.
This new JFR event is enabled by default. The java.security.debug=properties system property will also now print initial security properties to the standard error stream. With this new event and the already available 'jdk.SecurityPropertyModification' event (when enabled since it is not enabled by default), a JFR recording can now monitor the initial settings of all security properties and any subsequent changes.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ New JFR Event: jdk.SecurityProviderService (JDK-8254711):
A new Java Flight Recorder (JFR) event has been added to record details of java.security.Provider.getService(String type, String algorithm) calls.
This event is disabled by default and can be enabled via the JFR configuration files or via standard JFR options.
security-libs/javax.crypto:
➜ Provide Poly1305 Intrinsic on x86_64 platforms with AVX512 instructions (JDK-8288047):
This feature delivers optimized intrinsics using AVX512 instructions on x86_64 platforms for the Poly1305 Message Authentication Code algorithm of the SunJCE provider. This optimization is enabled by default on supporting x86_64 platforms, but may be disabled by providing the -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:-UsePoly1305Intrinsics command-line options.
security-libs/javax.crypto:
➜ Provide ChaCha20 Intrinsics on x86_64 and aarch64 Platforms (JDK-8247645):
This feature delivers optimized intrinsic implementations for the ChaCha20 cipher supplied by the SunJCE provider. These optimized routines are designed for x86_64 chipsets that support the AVX, AVX2 and/or AVX512 instruction sets, and aarch64 chips supporting the Advanced SIMD instruction set. These intrinsics are enabled by default on supporting platforms, but may be disabled by providing the -XX:-UseChaCha20Intrinsics command-line option to Java. Flags that control intrinsics require the option -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions.
tools/javac:
➜ Javac Warns about Type Casts in Compound Assignments with Possible Lossy Conversions (JDK-8244681):
New lint option lossy-conversions has been added to javac to warn about type casts in compound assignments with possible lossy conversions. If the type of the right-hand operand of a compound assignment is not assignment compatible with the type of the variable, a cast is implied and possible lossy conversion may occur.
The new warnings can be suppressed using @SuppressWarnings("lossy-conversions").
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ (D)TLS Key Exchange Named Groups (JDK-8281236):
New Java SE APIs, javax.net.ssl.SSLParameters.getNamedGroups() and javax.net.ssl.SSLParameters.setNamedGroups(), have been added to allow applications to customize the named groups of key exchange algorithms used in individual TLS or DTLS connections.
The underlying provider may define the default named groups for each TLS or DTLS connection. Applications may also use the existing jdk.tls.namedGroups system property to customize the provider-specific default named groups. If not null, the named groups passed to the setNamedGroups() method will override the default named groups for the specified TLS or DTLS connections.
Note that a provider may not have been updated to support the new APIs and in that case may ignore the named groups that are set. The JDK SunJSSE provider supports this method. It is recommended that third party providers add support for these methods when they add support for JDK 19 or later releases.
tools:
➜ New 'jmod --compress' Command Line Option (JDK-8293499):
A new --compress command line option has been added to the jmod tool to specify the compression level while creating the JMOD archive. The accepted values are zip-[0-9], where zip-0 provides no compression, and zip-9 provides the best compression. Default is zip-6.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ DTLS Resumption Uses HelloVerifyRequest Messages (JDK-8287411):
With this fix, the SunJSSE DTLS implementation will exchange cookies for all handshakes, both new and resumed, by default unless the System property jdk.tls.enableDtlsResumeCookie is false. The property only affects the cookie exchange for resumption.
Removed Features and Options:
This section describes the APIs, features, and options that were removed in Java SE 20 and JDK 20. The APIs described here are those that are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 20 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 20 and JDK 20 is the Java SE 20 ( JSR 395) Platform Specification, which documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 20. This document includes the identification of removed APIs and features not described here. The descriptions below might also identify potential compatibility issues that you could encounter when migrating to JDK 20. See CSRs Approved for JDK 20 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 20.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Thread.suspend/resume Changed to Throw UnsupportedOperationException (JDK-8249627):
The ability to suspend or resume a thread with the Thread.suspend() and Thread.resume() methods has been removed in this release. The methods have been changed to throw UnsupportedOperationException. These methods were inherently deadlock prone and have been deprecated since JDK 1.2 (1998). The corresponding methods in ThreadGroup, to suspend or resume a group of threads, were changed to throw UnsupportedOperationException in Java 19.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Thread.Stop Changed to Throw UnsupportedOperationException (JDK-8289610):
The ability to "stop" a thread with the Thread.stop() method has been removed in this release. The method has been changed to throw UnsupportedOperationException. Stopping a thread by causing it to throw java.lang.ThreadDeath was inherently unsafe. The stop method has been deprecated since JDK 1.2 (1998). The corresponding method in ThreadGroup, to "stop" a group of threads, was changed to throw UnsupportedOperationException in Java 19.
As part of this change, java.lang.ThreadDeath has been deprecated for removal.
tools/javac:
➜ Remove Support for javac -source/-target/--release 7 (JDK-8173605):
Consistent with the policy outlined in JEP 182: Policy for Retiring javac -source and -target Options, support for the 7/1.7 argument value for javac's -source, -target, and --release flags has been removed.
hotspot/gc:
➜ Improved Control of G1 Concurrent Refinement Threads (JDK-8137022):
The control of G1 concurrent refinement threads has been completely replaced. The new controller typically allocates fewer threads. It tends to have fewer spikes in refinement thread activity. It also tends to delay refinement, allowing more filtering by the write barrier when there are multiple writes to the same or nearby locations, improving the efficiency of the barrier.
There are a number of command line options used to provide parameter values for the old controller. These aren't relevant to the new controller, and no longer serve any useful purpose. They have all been made obsolete; specifying any of them on the command line will do nothing but print a warning message about the option being obsolete. These arguments are:
-XX:-G1UseAdaptiveConcRefinement
-XX:G1ConcRefinementGreenZone=buffer-count
-XX:G1ConcRefinementYellowZone=buffer-count
-XX:G1ConcRefinementRedZone=buffer-count
-XX:G1ConcRefinementThresholdStep=buffer-count
-XX:G1ConcRefinementServiceIntervalMillis=msec
These options will be removed entirely in some future release. Use of any of these options after that time will terminate startup of the virtual machine.
Deprecated Features and Options:
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 20 and JDK 20 include:
The Deprecated API page identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 20.
The Java SE 20 ( JSR 395) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 20 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 20. See CSRs Approved for JDK 20 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 20.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ java.net.URL Constructors Are Deprecated (JDK-8294241):
The java.net.URL constructors are deprecated in this release.
Developers are encouraged to use java.net.URI to parse or construct a URL. In cases where an instance of java.net.URL is needed to open a connection, java.net.URI can be used to construct or parse the URL string, possibly calling URI::parseServerAuthority() to validate that the authority component can be parsed as a server-based authority, and then calling URI::toURL() to create the URL instance.
A new method, URL::of(URI, URLStreamHandler) is provided for the advanced usages where there is a need to construct a URL with a given custom stream handler.
See the java.net.URL API documentation for more details.
core-svc/javax.management:
➜ Deprecate JMX Management Applets for Removal (JDK-8297794):
The Java Management Extension (JMX) Management Applet (m-let) feature is deprecated for removal in a future release as it is irrelevant to modern applications - the deprecated public classes in javax.management.loading are: MLet, MLetContent, PrivateMLet, MLetMBean.
This will have no impact on the JMX agent used for local and remote monitoring, the built-in instrumentation of the Java virtual machine, or tooling that uses JMX.
Known Issues:
The following notes describe known issues or limitations in this release.
xml/jaxp:
➜ JDK XSLT Transformer Limitations (JDK-8290347):
Applications using the JDK XSLT transformer to convert stylesheets to Java objects can encounter the following exception:
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.util.InternalError: Internal XSLTC error: a method in the translet exceeds the Java Virtual Machine limitation on the length of a method of 64 kilobytes. This is usually caused by templates in a stylesheet that are very large. Try restructuring your stylesheet to use smaller templates.
Applications will encounter the above exception if the size of the XSL template is too large. It is recommended to split the XSL template into smaller templates. Alternatively, applications can override the JDK XSLT Transformer by providing third-party implementation JAR files in the class path.
hotspot/compiler:
➜ java.lang.Float.floatToFloat16 and java.lang.Float.float16ToFloat May Return Different NaN Results when Optimized by the JIT Compiler (JDK-8302976):
JDK 20 introduces two new methods which can be used to convert to and from the IEEE 754 binary16 format: java.lang.Float.floatToFloat16 and java.lang.Float.float16ToFloat.
The new methods may return different NaN results when optimized by the JIT compiler. To disable the JIT compiler optimization of these methods, the following command line options can be used: -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:DisableIntrinsic=_floatToFloat16,_float16ToFloat .
Other Notes:
The following notes describe additional changes and information about this release. In some cases, the following descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change.
core-libs/java.math:
➜ Restore Behavior of java.math.BigDecimal.movePointLeft() and movePointRight() on a Zero Argument (JDK-8289260):
When these methods are invoked with a zero argument on a target with a negative scale, they return a result which is numerically the same as the target, but with a different unscaled value and scale.
In earlier releases, they returned a result with the same unscaled value and scale, which was against the specification.
The behavior is unchanged when the target has a non-negative scale or when the argument is not zero.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ HTTP Response Input Streams Will Throw an IOException on Interrupt (JDK-8294047):
HTTP Response Input Streams are InputStream instances returned by the ResponseSubscribers::ofInputStream method. In this release, the default implementation of their read method was changed to throw an IOException if the thread performing this operation is interrupted, instead of ignoring the interruption.
If the thread invoking the read operation is interrupted while blocking on read:
The request will be cancelled and the InputStream will be closed
The thread interrupt status will be set to true
An IOException will be thrown
core-libs/java.net:
➜ URL Constructors Called with Malformed Input May Throw MalformedURLException for Cases where It Was Not Thrown Previously (JDK-8293590):
The parsing of input provided to the java.net.URL constructors has changed in this release to be more strict. If the URL constructors are called with malformed input, then MalformedURLException may be thrown for cases where it wasn’t thrown previously.
In previous releases, some of the parsing and validation performed by the JDK built-in URLStreamHander implementations was delayed until URL::openConnection or URLConnection::connect was called. Some of these parsing and validation actions are now performed early, within URL constructors. An exception caused by a malformed URL that would have been delayed until the connection was opened or connected might now cause a MalformedURLException to be thrown at URL construction time.
This change only affects URL instances that delegate to JDK built-in stream handler implementations. Applications relying on custom, third party URLStreamHandler implementations should remain unaffected.
A new JDK specific system property -Djdk.net.url.delayParsing or -Djdk.net.url.delayParsing=true can be specified on the command line to revert to the previous behavior. By default, the property is not set, and the new behavior is in place.
This new property is provided for backward compatibility and may be removed in a future release.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ HttpClient Default Keep Alive Time is 30 Seconds (JDK-8297030):
In this release, the default idle connection timeout value for the HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 connections created by the java.net.http.HttpClient has been reduced from 1200 seconds to 30 seconds.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ Idle Connection Timeouts for HTTP/2 (JDK-8288717):
Idle Connection Timeouts for HTTP/2 are added in this release.
The jdk.httpclient.keepalivetimeout property can now be used to configure a system-wide value, in seconds, used to close idle connections for both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 when using the HttpClient. In addition, developer's can also use the jdk.httpclient.keepalivetimeout.h2 to specify a timeout value exclusively for use with the HTTP/2 protocol, regardless of whether or not the jdk.httpclient.keepalivetimeout` is specified at runtime.
See the java.net.http module and Networking Properties in the JDK 20 API documentation for a list of current networking properties.
core-libs/java.nio:
➜ FileChannel Positional Write Is Unspecified in APPEND Mode (JDK-6924219):
The specification of java.nio.channels.FileChannel is updated to clarify that the effect of attempting to write at a specific position using the FileChannel::write(ByteBuffer,long) method is system-dependent when the channel is open in append mode. That is, a java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption.APPEND is passed to FileChannel::open when the channel is opened. In particular, on some operating systems, bytes will be written at the given position, while on other operating systems the given position will be ignored and the bytes will be appended to the file.
core-libs/java.nio:
➜ Do Not Normalize File Paths to Unicode Normalization Format D on macOS (JDK-8289689):
On macOS, file names are no longer normalized to Apple's variant of Unicode Normalization Format D. File names were normalized on HFS+ prior to macOS 10.13, but on APFS on macOS 10.13 and newer, this normalization is no longer effected. The previous behavior may be enabled by setting the system property jdk.nio.path.useNormalizationFormD to "true".
core-libs/java.text:
➜ Grapheme Support in BreakIterator (JDK-8291660):
Character boundary analysis in java.text.BreakIterator now conforms to Extended Grapheme Clusters breaks defined in Unicode Consortium's Standard Annex #29. This change will introduce intentional behavioral changes because the old implementation simply breaks at the code point boundaries for the vast majority of characters. For example, this is a String that contains the US flag and a grapheme for a 4-member-family.
"🇺🇸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦"
This String will be broken into two graphemes with the new implementation:
"🇺🇸", "👨‍👩‍👧‍👦"
whereas the old implementation simply breaks at the code point boundaries:
"🇺", "🇸", "👨", "(zwj)", "👩", "(zwj)", "👧", "(zwj)"‍, "👦"
where (zwj) denotes ZERO WIDTH JOINER (U 200D).
core-libs/java.time:
➜ Update Timezone Data to 2022c (JDK-8292579):
This version includes changes from 2022b that merged multiple regions that have the same timestamp data post-1970 into a single time zone database. All time zone IDs remain the same but the merged time zones will point to a shared zone database.
As a result, pre-1970 data may not be compatible with earlier JDK versions. The affected zones are Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake, Pacific/Wallis, Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.
For more details, refer to the announcement of 2022b
core-libs/java.util:collections:
➜ IdentityHashMap's Remove and Replace Methods Use Object Identity (JDK-8178355):
The remove(key, value) and replace(key, oldValue, newValue) implementations of IdentityHashMap have been corrected. In previous releases, the value arguments were compared with values in the map using equals. However, IdentityHashMap specifies that all such comparisons should be made using object identity (==). These methods' implementations now conform to the specification.
core-libs/java.util:i18n:
➜ Support for CLDR Version 42 (JDK-8284840):
Locale data based on Unicode Consortium's CLDR has been upgraded to version 42. For the detailed locale data changes, please refer to the Unicode Consortium's CLDR release notes. Some of the notable changes in the upstream that may affect formatting are:
" at " is no longer used for standard date/time format
NBSP prefixed to a, instead of a normal space
Fix first day of week info for China (CN)
Japanese: Support numbers up to 9999京
core-libs/javax.naming:
➜ Update Default Value and Extend the Scope of com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData System Property (JDK-8290367):
In this release, the JDK implementation of the LDAP provider no longer supports deserialization of Java objects by default:
The default value of the com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData system property has been updated to false.
The scope of the com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData system property has been extended to cover the reconstruction of RMI remote objects from the javaRemoteLocation LDAP attribute.
The transparent deserialization of Java objects from an LDAP context will now require an explicit opt-in. Applications that rely on reconstruction of Java objects or RMI stubs from the LDAP attributes would need to set the com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData system property to true.
core-libs/javax.naming:
➜ Introduce LDAP and RMI Protocol Specific Object Factory Filters to JNDI Implementation (JDK-8290368):
In this release, new system and security properties are introduced to allow more granular control over the set of JNDI object factories allowed to reconstruct Java objects from JNDI/LDAP and JNDI/RMI contexts:
The new jdk.jndi.ldap.object.factoriesFilter property specifies which object factory classes are allowed to instantiate Java objects from object references returned by JNDI/LDAP contexts. Its default value only allows object factories defined in the java.naming module.
The new jdk.jndi.rmi.object.factoriesFilter property specifies which object factory classes are allowed to instantiate Java objects from object references returned by JNDI/RMI contexts. Its default value only allows object factories defined in the jdk.rmi module.
These new factory filter properties complement the jdk.jndi.object.factoriesFilter global factories filter property by determining if a specific object factory is permitted to instantiate objects for the LDAP or RMI protocols used in JNDI.
An application depending on custom object factories to recreate Java objects from JNDI/LDAP or JNDI/RMI contexts will need to supply a security or system property with an updated value to allow such third-party object factories to reconstruct LDAP or RMI objects. If usage of a factory is denied, the lookup operation may result in a plain instance of javax.naming.Reference instance returned, which may lead to a ClassCastException being thrown in the application.
For more information, see the java.naming and jdk.naming.rmi module-info documentation.
core-svc/debugger:
➜ com.sun.jdi.ObjectReference::setValue Specification Should Prohibit Any Final Field Modification (JDK-8280798):
The specification of the Java Debug Interface (JDI) method ObjectReference.setValue has changed in this release to require the given field be non-final. The method was previously specified to require static fields be non-final but was silent on final instance fields. The JDK’s implementation of JDI has never allowed final instance fields to be changed with this method so this change has no impact on debuggers or tools using the JDK’s JDI implementation. Maintainers of JDI implementations should take note of this change so they can align their implementation with the updated specification.
core-svc/javax.management:
➜ JMX Connections Use an ObjectInputFilter by Default (JDK-8283093):
The default JMX agent now sets an ObjectInputFilter on the RMI connection to restrict the types that the server will deserialize. This should not affect normal usage of the MBeans in the JDK. Applications which register their own MBeans in the Platform MBeanServer may need to extend the filter to support any additional types that their MBeans accept as parameters. The default filter already covers any type that OpenMBeans and MXBeans might use.
The filter pattern is set in JDK/conf/management/management.properties using the property com.sun.management.jmxremote.serial.filter.pattern. If there are additional Java types that need to be passed, the default can be overridden by running with -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.serial.filter.pattern=.
Serialization Filtering and the filter pattern format are described in detail in the Core Libraries guide.
hotspot/gc:
➜ G1: Disable Preventive GCs by Default (JDK-8293861):
In JDK 17, G1 added "preventive" garbage collections (GCs). These are speculative garbage collections, with the goal of avoiding costly evacuation failures due to allocation bursts when the heap is almost full.
However, these speculative collections have the consequence of additional garbage collection work, as object aging is based on number of GCs with additional GCs causing premature promotion into the old generation, which leads to more data in the old generation, and more garbage collection work to remove these objects. This has been compounded by the current prediction to trigger preventive garbage collections being very conservative; which means these garbage collections are often triggered unnecessarily.
In the majority of cases this feature is a net loss, and as evacuation failures are now handled more quickly, there is no longer any reason for this feature and it has been disabled by default, it may be re-enabled by -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+G1UsePreventiveGC.
hotspot/jvmti:
➜ appendToClassPathForInstrumentation Must Be Used in a Thread-Safe Manner (JDK-8296472):
When running an application with a Java agent (e.g. -javaagent:myagent.jar) and a custom system class loader (e.g. -Djava.system.class.loader=MyClassLoader), and the Java agent invokes the Instrumentation.appendToSystemClassLoaderSearch API to append to the class loader search, then the custom system class loader appendToClassPathForInstrumentation method will be invoked to add the JAR file to the custom system class loader's search path.
The JVM no longer synchronizes on the custom class loader while calling appendToClassPathForInstrumentation. The appendToClassPathForInstrumentation method in the custom class loader must add to the class search path in a thread-safe manner.
hotspot/jvmti:
➜ GetLocalXXX/SetLocalXXX Specification Should Require Suspending Target Thread (JDK-8288387):
The JVM TI specification of the GetLocalXXX/SetLocalXXX functions has been changed to require the target thread to be either suspended or the current thread. The error code JVMTI_ERROR_THREAD_NOT_SUSPENDED will be returned if this requirement is not satisfied. The JVM TI agents which use the GetLocalXXX/SetLocalXXX API's need to be updated to suspend the target thread if it is not the current thread. The full list of impacted JVM TI functions is:
GetLocalObject, GetLocalInt, GetLocalLong, GetLocalFloat, GetLocalDouble, GetLocalInstance,
SetLocalObject, SetLocalInt, SetLocalLong, SetLocalFloat, SetLocalDouble
hotspot/runtime:
➜ Deprecate and Disable Legacy Parallel Class Loading Workaround for Non-Parallel-Capable Class Loaders (JDK-8295673):
Some user-defined, older class loaders would workaround a deadlock issue by releasing the class loader lock during the loading process. To prevent these loaders from encountering a “java.lang.LinkageError: attempted duplicate class definition” while loading the same class by parallel threads, the HotSpot Virtual Machine introduced a workaround in JDK 6 that serialized the load attempts, causing the subsequent attempts to wait for the first to complete.
The need for class loaders to work this way was removed in JDK 7 when parallel-capable class loaders were introduced, but the workaround remained in the VM. That workaround is finally being removed and as a first step has been deprecated and disabled by default. If you start seeing "java.lang.LinkageError: attempted duplicate class definition", then you may have an affected legacy class loader. The flag -XX:+EnableWaitForParallelLoad can be used to temporarily restore the old behavior in this release of the JDK, but the legacy class loader will need to be updated for future releases.
See the CSR request (JDK-8295848) for more background and details.
javafx/fxml:
➜ FXML JavaScript Engine Disabled by Default (JDK-8294779 (not public)):
The “JavaScript script engine” for FXML is now disabled by default. Any .fxml file that has a "javascript" Processing Instruction (PI) will no longer load by default, and an exception will be thrown.
If the JDK has a JavaScript script engine, it can be enabled by setting the system property: -Djavafx.allowjs=true
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Added Constructors (String, Throwable) and (Throwable) to InvalidParameterException (JDK-8296226):
Constructors InvalidParameterException(String, Throwable) and InvalidParameterException(Throwable) have been added to the java.security.InvalidParameterException class to support easy construction of InvalidParameterException objects with a cause.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Throw Error If Default java.security File Fails to Load (JDK-8155246):
A behavioral change has been made in the case where the default conf/security/java.security security configuration file fails to load. In such a scenario, the JDK will now throw an InternalError.
Such a scenario should never occur. The default security file should always be present. Prior to this change, a static and outdated security configuration was loaded.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ Disabled TLS_ECDH_* Cipher Suites (JDK-8279164):
The TLS_ECDH_* cipher suites have been disabled by default, by adding "ECDH" to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. The TLS_ECDH_* cipher suites do not preserve forward-secrecy and are rarely used in practice. Note that some TLS_ECDH_* cipher suites were already disabled because they use algorithms that are disabled, such as 3DES and RC4. This action disables the rest. Any attempts to use cipher suites starting with "TLS_ECDH_" will fail with an SSLHandshakeException. Users can, at their own risk, re-enable these cipher suites by removing "ECDH" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ Disabled DTLS 1.0 (JDK-8256660):
DTLS 1.0 has been disabled by default, by adding "DTLSv1.0" to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. DTLS 1.0 has weakened over time and lacks support for stronger cipher suites. Any attempts to use DTLSv1.0 will fail with an SSLHandshakeException. Users can, at their own risk, re-enable the version by removing "DTLSv1.0" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property.
security-libs/javax.security:
➜ Remove Thread Text from Subject.current (JDK-8297276):
The specification of Subject.current has been changed in this release to drop the expectation that the Subject is inherited when creating a thread. At this time, the Subject is stored in the AccessControlContext and is inherited when creating platform threads. Virtual threads do not capture the caller context at thread creation time and the AccessControlContext is not inherited. Inheritance will be re-examined in a future release in advance of removing support for the SecurityManager and the inherited AccessControlContext.
security-libs/javax.security:
➜ New Implementation Note for LoginModule on Removing Null from a Principals or Credentials Set (JDK-8282730):
The Set implementation that holds principals and credentials in a JAAS Subject prohibits null elements and any attempt to add, query, or remove a null element will result in a NullPointerException. This is especially important when trying to remove principals or credentials from the subject at the logout phase but they are null because of a previous failed login. Various JDK LoginModule implementations have been fixed to avoid the exception. An Implementation Note has also been added to the logout() method of the LoginModule interface. Developers should verify, and if necessary update, any custom LoginModule implementations to be compliant with this implementation advice.
tools/javac:
➜ An Exhaustive Switch over an Enum Class Should Throw MatchException Rather Than IncompatibleClassChangeError If No Switch Label Applies at Runtime (JDK-8297118):
In this release, when preview features are enabled with --enable-preview, a switch expression over an enum type will throw a MatchException rather than an IncompatibleClassChangeError should the selector expression yield an unexpected enum constant value. This can only happen if the enum class has been changed by adding a new enum constant after compilation of the switch.
This change is required to unify the treatment of erroneous exhaustive switches introduced by enhancing switch with pattern labels.
tools/javadoc(tool):
➜ Improved Preview API Page (JDK-8287597):
The Preview API page in the documentation generated by JavaDoc now provides detailed information about the JEPs the preview features belong to.
tools/javadoc(tool):
➜ Auto-Generated IDs in JavaDoc Headings (JDK-8289332):
JavaDoc now generates id attributes for all HTML headings in documentation comments that may be used as link anchors.
tools/javadoc(tool):
➜ Generalize 'see' and 'link' Tags for User-Defined Anchors (JDK-8200337):
The {@link}, {@linkplain}, and @see tags have been enhanced to allow linking to arbitrary anchors in the JavaDoc-generated documentation for an element. To distinguish these references from member references, a double hash mark (`##`) is used to separate the element name from the URI fragment.
hotspot/runtime:
➜ The JNI Specification Omits an Update to the JNI Version (JDK-8290482):
This bug updated the JNI Specification in relation to the DestroyJavaVM function. As part of that work, the JNI Specification version number was incremented. That change to the JNI Specification version should also have been reflected in the GetVersion function but was not. The GetVersion function has been updated to read JNI_VERSION_20. This new version has also been documented in jni.h as:
#define JNI_VERSION_20 0x00140000
javafx/build:
➜ JavaFX 20 Requires JDK 17 or Later (JDK-8290530):
JavaFX 20 is compiled with --release 17 and thus requires JDK 17 or later in order to run. If you attempt to run with an older JDK, the Java launcher will exit with an error message indicating that the javafx.base module cannot be read.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 17.0.6 (Jan 18, 2023)

New Features:
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ DTLS Resumption Uses HelloVerifyRequest Messages (JDK-8287411 (not public))
With this fix the SunJSSE DTLS implementation will by default exchange cookies for all handshakes (new and resumed) unless the System property jdk.tls.enableDtlsResumeCookie is false. The property only affects the cookie exchange for resumption.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Support for RSASSA-PSS in OCSP Response (JDK-8274471)
An OCSP response signed with the RSASSA-PSS algorithm is now supported.
Other Notes:
javafx/fxml:
➜ FXML JavaScript Engine Disabled by Default (JDK-8294779 (not public))
The “JavaScript script engine” for FXML is now disabled by default. Any .fxml file that has a "javascript" Processing Instruction (PI) will no longer load by default, and an exception will be thrown.
If the JDK has a JavaScript script engine, it can be enabled by setting the system property: -Djavafx.allowjs=true
globalization:
➜ Translated resource bundles for German (JDK-8263773)
With 11.0.14, we are shipping the original JDK 11 translated resource bundles for German.
install/install:
➜ RPM JDK Installer Changes (JDK-8292834)
7Installation directory name of Oracle JDK in RPM package has changed from /usr/java/jdk-${VERSION} to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-${FEATURE}-oracle-${ARCH}. Thus the 17.0.6, and 17.0.7 releases for x64 will both be installed in /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17-oracle-x64 directory. RPM package will create /usr/java/jdk-${FEATURE} link pointing to the installation directory for backward compatibility.
Communication with the alternatives framework of JDK RPM package has changed. JDK RPM packages of prior versions registered a single java group of commands with the alternatives framework. The JDK 17 RPM package registers java and javac groups with the alternatives framework. java group is for commands used to run applications: java, keytool, and rmiregistry. javac group is used for all other commands. The set of commands registered by the package has not changed.
Two new Oracle Linux (OL)-specific JDK RPM packages have been added: jdk-17-headless and jdk-17-headful. These packages are available in OL7, OL8, and OL9 repositories. They are not available for OTN downloads. jdk-17-headless is a Headless Java Runtime for running non-GUI applications. jdk-17-headful is a Headful Java Runtime & Development Tools for developing and running applications of all types.
The combination of the OL-specific jdk-17-headless and jdk-17-headful packages provides the same JDK image and the same capabilities as jdk-17 OTN package. OL-specific JDK RPM packages specify required capabilities, and the "Release" property of these packages has a %{dist} suffix.
install/install:
➜ Disable Side-by-Side Installations of Multiple JDK Updates in Windows JDK Installers (JDK-8292820)
Windows JDK installers must install the Oracle JDK in %Program Files%Javajdk-%FEATURE% instead of %Program Files%Javajdk-%VNUM%. I.e. all updates of the same release must share one installation directory.
Thus the 17.0.6 and 17.0.7 releases will both install into %Program Files%Javajdk-17 by default, and they both cannot be installed at the same time.
If the JDK17.0.7 installer is launched when JDK17.0.6 is already installed, it will auto-upgrade them to JDK17.0.7. There may be a Files In Use dialog shown if the older version was running and locking JDK files.
If the JDK17.0.6 installer is launched when JDK17.0.7 is already installed, it will show an error that a newer version of this JDK family is already installed.
install/install:
➜ All JDK Update Releases Are Installed Into the Same Directory on macOS (JDK-8292827)
The Oracle JDK installation directory name will be changed from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-${VERSION}.jdk to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-${FEATURE}.jdk. Thus the 17.0.6 and 17.0.7 releases will both install into the /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk installation directory. Installing an older JDK update release will log an error, and not install the JDK, if a newer version of the same feature release already exists. An error dialog will be shown except in the case of a silent installation. JDK 17.0.N update releases shipped prior JEP C208 will not be uninstalled during installation of JDK 17 update release with JEP C208. However, JDK 17 GA release will be removed and its location /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk will be reused.
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Incorrect Handling of Quoted Arguments in ProcessBuilder (JDK-8282008)
ProcessBuilder on Windows is restored to address a regression caused by JDK-8250568. Previously, an argument to ProcessBuilder that started with a double-quote and ended with a backslash followed by a double-quote was passed to a command incorrectly and may cause the command to fail. For example the argument "C:\Program Files", would be seen by the command with extra double-quotes. This update restores the long standing behavior that does not treat the backslash before the final double-quote specially.
security-libs/javax.security:
➜ New Implementation Note for LoginModule on Removing Null from a Principals or Credentials set (JDK-8282730)
The Set implementation that holds principals and credentials in a JAAS Subject prohibits null elements and any attempt to add, query, or remove a null element will result in a NullPointerException. This is especially important when trying to remove principals or credentials from the subject at the logout phase but they are null because of a previous failed login. Various JDK LoginModule implementations have been fixed to avoid the exception. An Implementation Note has also been added to the logout() method of the LoginModule interface. Developers should verify and if necessary update any custom LoginModule implementations to be compliant with this implementation advice.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 19.0.2 (Jan 17, 2023)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 19.0.0.0 (Sep 22, 2022)

Major New Functionality:
Concurrency Model Update Previews:
JEP 425 Virtual Threads (Preview):
Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. This is a preview API.
JEP 428 Structured Concurrency (Incubator):
Simplify multithreaded programming by introducing an API for structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats multiple tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability. This is an incubating API.
Language Feature Previews:
JEP 405 Record Patterns (Preview):
Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to deconstruct record values. Record patterns and type patterns can be nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data navigation and processing. This is a preview language feature.
JEP 427 Pattern Matching for switch (Third Preview):
Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for switch expressions and statements. Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely. This is a preview language feature.
Libraries Preview/Incubator:
JEP 424 Foreign Function & Memory API (Preview):
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI. This is a preview API.
JEP 426 Vector API (Fourth Incubator):
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
New Features:
This section describes some of the enhancements in Java SE 19 and JDK 19. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change. The APIs described here are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 19 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 19 and JDK 19 is the Java SE 19 ( JSR 394) Platform Specification, which documents the changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 19. This document includes descriptions of those new features and enhancements that are also changes to the specification. The descriptions also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 19.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ Support Unicode 14.0 (JDK-8268081):
This release upgrades Unicode support to 14.0, which includes the following:
The java.lang.Character class supports Unicode Character Database of 14.0 level, which adds 838 characters, for a total of 144,697 characters. These additions include 5 new scripts, for a total of 159 scripts, as well as 37 new emoji characters. The java.text.Bidi and java.text.Normalizer classes support 14.0 level of Unicode Standard Annexes, #9 and #15, respectively. The java.util.regex package supports Extended Grapheme Clusters based on 14.0 level of Unicode Standard Annex #29 For more detail about Unicode 14.0, refer to the Unicode Consortium's release note.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ New system properties for System.out and System.err (JDK-8283620):
Two new system properties, stdout.encoding and stderr.encoding, have been added. The value of these system properties is the encoding used by the standard output and standard error streams (System.out and System.err).
The default values of these system properties depend on the platform. The values take on the value of the native.encoding property when the platform does not provide streams for the console. The properties can be overridden on the launcher's command line option (with -D) to set them to UTF-8 where required.
core-libs/java.net➜ HTTPS Channel Binding Support for Java GSS/Kerberos (JDK-8279842):
Support has been added for TLS channel binding tokens for Negotiate/Kerberos authentication over HTTPS through javax.net.HttpsURLConnection.
Channel binding tokens are increasingly required as an enhanced form of security. They work by communicating from a client to a server the client's understanding of the binding between connection security, as represented by a TLS server cert, and higher level authentication credentials, such as a username and password. The server can then detect if the client has been fooled by a MITM and shutdown the session or connection.
The feature is controlled through a new system property jdk.https.negotiate.cbt which is described fully in Networking Properties.
core-libs/java.time ➜ Additional Date-Time Formats (JDK-8176706):
Additional date/time formats are now introduced in java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter/DateTimeFormatterBuilder classes. In prior releases, only 4 predefined styles, i.e., FormatStyle.FULL/LONG/MEDIUM/SHORT are available. Now the users can specify their own flexible style with this new DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedPattern(String requestedTemplate) method. For example,
DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedPattern("yMMM")
produces a formatter, which can format a date in a localized manner, such as "Feb 2022" in the US locale, while "2022年2月" in the Japanese locale. Supporting method DateTimeFormatterBuilder.appendLocalized(String requestedTemplate)is also provided.
core-libs/java.util:collections ➜ New Methods to Create Preallocated HashMaps and HashSets (JDK-8186958):
New static factory methods have been introduced to allow creation of HashMap and related instances that are preallocated to accommodate an expected number of mappings or elements. After using the HashMap.newHashMap method, the requested number of mappings can be added to the newly created HashMap without it being resized. There are similar new static factory methods for LinkedHashMap, WeakHashMap, HashSet, and LinkedHashSet. The complete set of new methods is:
HashMap.newHashMap
LinkedHashMap.newLinkedHashMap
WeakHashMap.newWeakHashMap
HashSet.newHashSet
LinkedHashSet.newLinkedHashSet
The int-argument constructors for these classes set the "capacity" (internal table size) which is not the same as the number of elements that can be accommodated. The capacity is related to the number of elements by a simple but error-prone calculation. For this reason, programs should use these new static factory methods in preference to the int-argument constructors.
hotspot/compiler ➜ Support for PAC-RET Protection on Linux/AArch64 (JDK-8277204):
Support for PAC-RET protection on the Linux/AArch64 platform has been introduced.
When enabled, OpenJDK will use hardware features from the ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication Code (PAC) extension to protect against Return Orientated Programming (ROP) attacks. For more information on the PAC extension see "Providing protection for complex software" or the "Pointer authentication in AArch64 state" section in the Arm ARM.
To take advantage of this feature, first OpenJDK must be built with the configuration flag --enable-branch-protection using GCC 9.1.0+ or LLVM 10+ . Then, the runtime flag -XX:UseBranchProtection=standard will enable PAC-RET protection if the system supports it and the java binary was compiled with branch-protection enabled; otherwise the flag is silently ignored. Alternatively, -XX:UseBranchProtection=pac-ret will also enable PAC-RET protection, but in this case if the system does not support it or the java binary was not compiled with branch-protection enabled, then a warning will be printed.
hotspot/runtime ➜ Automatic Generation of the CDS Archive (JDK-8261455):
The JVM option -XX:+AutoCreateSharedArchive can be used to automatically create or update a CDS archive for an application. For example:
java -XX:+AutoCreateSharedArchive -XX:SharedArchiveFile=app.jsa -cp app.jar App
The specified archive will be written if it does not exist, or if it was generated by a different version of the JDK
security-libs/java.security ➜ Windows KeyStore Updated to Include Access to the Local Machine Location (JDK-6782021):
The Windows KeyStore support in the SunMSCAPI provider has been expanded to include access to the local machine location. The new keystore types are:
"Windows-MY-LOCALMACHINE"
"Windows-ROOT-LOCALMACHINE"
The following keystore types were also added, allowing developers to make it clear they map to the current user:
"Windows-MY-CURRENTUSER" (same as "Windows-MY")
"Windows-ROOT-CURRENTUSER" (same as "Windows-ROOT")
security-libs/java.security ➜ Break Up SEQUENCE in X509Certificate::getSubjectAlternativeNames and X509Certificate::getIssuerAlternativeNames in otherName (JDK-8277976):
The JDK implementation of X509Certificate::getSubjectAlternativeNames and X509Certificate::getIssuerAlternativeNames has been enhanced to additionally return the type-id and value fields of an otherName. The value field is returned as a String if it is encoded as a character string or otherwise as a byte array, which is helpful as it avoids having to parse the ASN.1 DER encoded form of the name.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl ➜ (D)TLS Signature Schemes (JDK-8280494):
New Java SE APIs, javax.net.ssl.getSignatureSchemes() and javax.net.ssl.setSignatureSchemes(), have been added to allow applications to customize the signature schemes used in individual TLS or DTLS connections.
Note that the underlying provider may define the default signature schemes for each TLS or DTLS connection. Applications may also use the existing "jdk.tls.client.SignatureSchemes" and/or "jdk.tls.server.SignatureSchemes" system properties to customize the provider-specific default signature schemes. If not null, the signature schemes passed to the setSignatureSchemes() method will override the default signature schemes for the specified TLS or DTLS connections.
Note that a provider may not have been updated to support the new APIs and in that case may ignore the signature schemes that are set. The JDK SunJSSE provider supports this method. It is recommended that 3rd party providers add support for these methods when they add support for JDK 19 or later releases.
security-libs/jdk.security ➜ Add a -providerPath Option to jarsigner (JDK-8281175):
A new option -providerPath has been added to jarsigner. One can use this option to specify the class path of an alternate keystore implementation. It can be used together with the -providerClass option.
security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5 ➜ New Options for ktab to Provide Non-default Salt (JDK-8279064):
Two new options are added to the ktab command when adding new keytab entries. When ktab -a username password -s altsalt is called, altsalt is used instead of the default salt. When ktab -a username password -f is called, the tool will contact the KDC to fetch the actual salt used.
xml/jaxp ➜ New XML Processing Limits (JDK-8270504 (not public)):
Three processing limits have been added to the XML libraries. These are:
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit
Description: Limits the number of groups an XPath expression can contain.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 10.
jdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit
Description: Limits the number of operators an XPath expression can contain.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 100.
jdk.xml.xpathTotalOpLimit
Description: Limits the total number of XPath operators in an XSL Stylesheet.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 10000.
Supported processors
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit and jdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit are supported by the XPath processor.
All three limits are supported by the XSLT processor.
Setting properties
For the XSLT processor, the properties can be changed through the TransformerFactory. For example,
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
factory.setAttribute("jdk.xml.xpathTotalOpLimit", "1000");
For the XPath processor, the properties can be changed through the XPathFactory. For example,
XPathFactory xf = XPathFactory.newInstance();
xf.setProperty("jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit", "20");
For both the XPath and XSLT processors, the properties can be set through the system property and jaxp.properties configuration file located in the conf directory of the Java installation. For example,
System.setProperty("jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit", "20");
or in the jaxp.properties file,
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit=20
There are two known issues:
An XPath expression that contains a short form of the parent axis ".." can return incorrect results. See JDK-8284920 for details.
An invalid XPath expression that ends with a relational operator such as ‘<’ ‘>’ and ‘=’ will cause the processor to erroneously throw StringIndexOutOfBoundsException instead of XPathExpressionException. See JDK-8284548 for details.
Removed Features and Options:
This section describes the APIs, features, and options that were removed in Java SE 19 and JDK 19. The APIs described here are those that are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 19 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 19 and JDK 19 is the Java SE 19 ( JSR 394) Platform Specification, which documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 19. This document includes the identification of removed APIs and features not described here. The descriptions below might also identify potential compatibility issues that you could encounter when migrating to JDK 19. See CSRs Approved for JDK 19 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 19.
hotspot/gc ➜ Removal of Diagnostic Flag GCParallelVerificationEnabled (JDK-8286304):
The diagnostic flag GCParallelVerificationEnabled has been removed.
There are no known advantages of disabling parallel heap verification, so this flag has never been used except with its default value. This default value enabled multi-threaded verification for a very long time with no issues. Single-threaded heap verification would even be much slower than verification already is.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl ➜ Remove Finalizer Implementation in SSLSocketImpl (JDK-8212136):
The finalizer implementation in SSLSocket has been removed, with the underlying native resource releases now done by the Socket implementation. With this update, the TLS close_notify messages will no longer be emitted if SSLSocket is not explicitly closed.
Not closing Sockets properly is an error condition that should be avoided. Applications should always close sockets and not rely on garbage collection.
security-libs/javax.security ➜ Remove the Alternate ThreadLocal Implementation of the Subject::current and Subject::callAs APIs (JDK-8282676 (not public)):
The jdk.security.auth.subject.useTL system property and the alternate ThreadLocal implementation of the Subject::current and Subject::callAs APIs have been removed. The default implementation of these APIs is still supported.
Deprecated Features and Options:
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 19 and JDK 19 include:
The Deprecated API page identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 19.
The Java SE 19 ( JSR 394) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 19 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 19. See CSRs Approved for JDK 19 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 19.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ java.lang.ThreadGroup Is Degraded (JDK-8284161):
Legacy java.lang.ThreadGroup has been degraded in this release. It is no longer possible to explicitly destroy a thread group. In its place, ThreadGroup is changed to no longer keep a strong reference to subgroups. A thread group is thus eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and nothing else is keeping the thread group alive.
The behavior of several methods, deprecated for removal in prior releases, are changed as follows:
The destroy method does nothing.
The isDestroyed method returns false.
The setDaemon and isDaemon methods set/get a daemon status that is not used for anything.
The suspend, resume, and stop methods throw UnsupportedOperationException.
core-libs/java.util:i18n ➜ Deprecation of Locale Class Constructors (JDK-8282819):
New Locale.of() factory methods replace deprecated Locale constructors. The factory methods are efficient and reuse existing Locale instances. Locales are also provided by Locale.forLanguageTag() and Locale.Builder.
security-libs/java.security➜ PSSParameterSpec(int) Constructor and DEFAULT Static Constant Are Deprecated (JDK-8254935):
It is recommended to construct PSSParameterSpec explicitly with all desired values instead of using the DEFAULT static constant or the single argument constructor which takes the salt length. Both use the default values in the initial version of the PKCS#1 standard and some of these values are no longer recommended due to advances in cryptanalysis.
security-libs/javax.crypto➜ OAEPParameterSpec.DEFAULT Static Constant Is Deprecated (JDK-8284553):
It is recommended to construct OAEPParameterSpec explicitly with desired values instead of using the DEFAULT static constant. The DEFAULT static constant uses the default values in the initial version of the PKCS#1 standard and some of these values are no longer recommended due to advances in cryptanalysis.
Other Notes:
The following notes describe additional changes and information about this release. In some cases, the following descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change.
client-libs/2d ➜ Metal Is Now the Default Java 2D Rendering Pipeline on macOS (JDK-8284378):
Previously JDK desktop applications using Swing and Java2D (tm) would render using OpenGL on macOS. As of this release of JDK, they now are rendered using Apple's new Metal accelerated graphics API. This has been available since JDK 17 (JEP 382), but was not automatically enabled. Now it is enabled by default. Applications will not need to take any action, as they will automatically benefit from faster graphics with lower power consumption, and the use of a more modern stable graphics API which will be able to work better on current and future Apple Mac systems. Any user who would prefer to continue to use OpenGL whilst it is still supported can disable rendering with Metal by starting their application with either "java -Dsun.java2d.metal=false" or "java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" and it will run with OpenGL as it used to in JDK 17.
core-libs/java.io ➜ New System Property to Disable Windows Alternate Data Stream Support in java.io.File (JDK-8285445):
The Windows implementation of java.io.File allows access to NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) by default. Such streams have a structure like “filename:streamname”. A system property jdk.io.File.enableADS has been added to control this behavior. To disable ADS support in java.io.File, the system property jdk.io.File.enableADS should be set to false (case ignored). Stricter path checking however prevents the use of special devices such as NUL:
core-libs/java.lang ➜ User's Home Directory Is Set to $HOME if Invalid (JDK-8280357):
On Linux and macOS, the system property user.home is set to the home directory provided by the operating system. If the directory name provided is empty or only a single character, the value of the environment variable HOME is used instead.
The directory name and the value of $HOME are usually the same and valid. The fallback to $HOME is unusual and unlikely to occur except in environments such as systemd on Linux or when running in a container such as Docker.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ Thread Context ClassLoader Changed to be a Special Inheritable Thread-local (JDK-8284161):
The thread context ClassLoader is specified in this release to be a special inheritable thread-local. This change should be transparent to existing code with the exception of code that uses the 5-arg Thread constructor (added in Java 9) to create a Thread that does not inherit the initial values of inheritable thread-locals from the constructing thread. With this release, invoking the 5-arg Thread constructor with the parameter inheritInheritableThreadLocals set to false will create a Thread that does not inherit the initial value of the context ClassLoader from the constructing thread. The Thread.setContextClassLoader method may be used to change the context ClassLoader of the new thread if needed.
For further details, see the JEP 425, section Thread-local variables.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ Source and Binary Incompatible Changes to java.lang.Thread (JDK-8284161):
The are a few source and binary incompatible changes that may impact code that extends java.lang.Thread.
Thread defines several new methods in this release. If code in an existing source file extends Thread and a method in the subclass conflicts with any of the new Thread methods then the file will not compile without change.
Thread.Builder is added as a nested interface. If code in an existing source file extends Thread, imports a class named Builder, and code in the subclass references "Builder" as a simple name, then the file will not compile without change.
Thread.isVirtual(), Thread.threadId() and Thread.join(Duration) are added as final methods. If there is existing compiled code that extends Thread and the subclass declares a method with the same name, parameters, and return type as any of these methods then IncompatibleClassChangeError will be thrown at run-time if the subclass is loaded.
For further details, see the JEP 425, section java.lang.Thread.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ Incorrect Handling of Quoted Arguments in ProcessBuilder (JDK-8282008):
ProcessBuilder on Windows is restored to address a regression caused by JDK-8250568. Previously, an argument to ProcessBuilder that started with a double-quote and ended with a backslash followed by a double-quote was passed to a command incorrectly and may cause the command to fail. For example the argument "C:\Program Files", would be seen by the command with extra double-quotes. This update restores the long standing behavior that does not treat the backslash before the final double-quote specially.
core-libs/java.lang ➜ Double.toString(double) and Float.toString(float) May Return Slightly Different Results (JDK-4511638):
The specification of these methods is now tighter than in earlier releases and the new implementation fully adheres to it.
As a consequence, some returned strings are now shorter than when using earlier releases, and for inputs at the extremes of the subnormal ranges near zero, might look differently. However, the number of cases where there's a difference in output is quite small compared to the sheer number of possible double and float inputs.
One example is Double.toString(2e23), which now returns "2.0E23", whereas in earlier releases it returns "1.9999999999999998E23". Another example, in the double subnormal range, is Double.toString(1e-323) which now returns "9.9E-324", as mandated by the new specification.
core-libs/java.lang:reflect ➜ Make Annotation toString Output for Enum Constants Usable for Source Input (JDK-8281462):
The exact toString format for annotations is not specified; however, the toString output is intended to be usable for source input. The toString output of enum constants was changed to two ways so that it would be usable as source input:
The name of the constant is used (rather than the output is its toString method)
For the name of the enum class, its canonical name rather than its binary name is used.
core-libs/java.net ➜ MD5 and SHA-1 Are Disabled by Default for HTTP Digest Authentication (JDK-8281561):
The MD5 and SHA-1 message digest algorithms have been disabled by default for HTTP Digest authentication. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered insecure and are deprecated generally. Accordingly, they have both been disabled by default for some usages of HTTP Digest authentication with java.net.HttpURLConnection. They can re-enabled on an opt-in basis by setting a new system property. More information about them can be found in Networking Properites.
core-libs/java.net ➜ Improved HTTP Proxy Detection on Windows (JDK-8262442):
When multiple Windows proxy configuration options are available, proxy selector now attempts all options in sequence until a proxy is selected or all options have been tried. Previously, only the first option was tried. For example, if automatic proxy detection was enabled, manual proxy setup was never used.
core-libs/java.net ➜ java.net.InetAddress Updated to Reject Ambiguous IPv4 Address Literals (JDK-8277608 (not public)):
The java.net.InetAddress class has been updated to strictly accept IPv4 address literals in decimal quad notation. The InetAddress class methods are updated to throw a java.net.UnknownHostException for invalid IPv4 address literals. To disable this check, the new jdk.net.allowAmbiguousIPAddressLiterals system property can be set to "true".
core-libs/java.net ➜ Make HttpURLConnection Default Keep Alive Timeout Configurable (JDK-8278067):
Two system properties have been added which control the keep alive behavior of HttpURLConnection in the case where the server does not specify a keep alive time. Two properties are defined for controlling connections to servers and proxies separately. They are http.keepAlive.time.server and http.keepAlive.time.proxy respectively. More information about them can be found in Networking Properites.
core-libs/java.nio ➜ FileChannel.transferFrom May Transfer Fewer Bytes than Expected (JDK-8286763):
The performance of FileChannel.transferFrom() has been improved significantly on Linux kernel version 4.5 and later for the case where the method is used to transfer bytes from one FileChannel to another. This change adds to the preexisting set of scenarios in which the number of bytes actually transferred might be less than the number requested to be transferred. That is to say, the value returned by transferFrom() can be less than the value of the count parameter: a “short transfer.” This is permitted by the specification, but might impact broken code that ignores the returned count and assumes it is always equal to count.
core-libs/java.nio ➜ The mark and set Methods of InputStream and FilterInputStream Are No Longer Synchronized (JDK-8284930):
The synchronized keyword is removed from the mark and reset methods of java.io.InputStream and java.io.FIlterInputStream. This keyword serves no purpose as the other methods in these classes do not synchronize.
core-libs/java.nio➜ Files.copy Copies POSIX Attributes to Target on Foreign File System (JDK-8267820):
The method java.nio.file.Files.copy(Path,Path) has been changed to copy POSIX file attributes from the source file to the destination file when the two files are associated with different file system providers, for example copying a file from the default file system to a zip file system. Both the source and target file systems must support the POSIX file attribute view. The POSIX attributes copied are constrained to the file access permissions; owner and group owner of the file are not copied.
core-libs/java.nio➜ FileChannel.lock/tryLock Changed to Treat Size 0 to Mean the Locked Region Goes to End of File (JDK-5041655):
The method java.nio.channels.FileChannel.lock(long position, long size, boolean shared) has been changed such that a size value of zero means to lock all bytes from the specified starting position to the end of the file, regardless of whether the file is subsequently extended or truncated.
core-libs/java.time➜ java.time.DateTimeFormatter: Wrong Definition of Symbol F (JDK-8282081):
The definition and its implementation of the pattern symbol F in java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter/Builder has been modified. It was tied with ChronoField.ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH field, which did not agree with java.text.SimpleDateFormat and Unicode Consortium's LDML. With this release, it represents ChronoField.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH field. For example, the number 2 means "the 2nd Wednesday in July."
core-libs/java.time➜ Support for IsoFields in JapaneseDate/MinguoDate/ThaiBuddhistDate (JDK-8279185):
Three chronologies in java.time.chrono package, namely JapaneseChronology, MinguoChronology, and ThaiBuddhistChronology now support ISO-based fields, such as IsoFields.QUARTER_OF_YEAR. These chronologies implement the new method, isIsoBased() which has been added in the java.time.chrono.Chronology interface. The boolean returned from this method indicates if the implementing chronology is ISO chronology based, which means it has the same year/month structure as IsoChronology.
Here is an example:
JapaneseDate.now().getLong(IsoFields.QUARTER_OF_YEAR)
will return the correct quarter-of-year value, which used to be throwing an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException with prior JDK releases.
core-libs/java.util.concurrent➜ ForkJoinPool and ThreadPoolExecutor Do Not Use Thread::start to Start Worker Threads (JDK-8284161):
java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool and java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor have changed in this release to not start worker threads with the Thread.start method. This may impact code that constructs a ForkJoinPool or ThreadPoolExecutor with a thread factory that creates worker Threads that override the no-arg start method. The overridden start method will not be invoked when worker threads are started. The change in behavior does not impact code that overrides the ForkJoinWorkerThread.onStart() method. The onStart() method will continue to be invoked by fork join worker threads when they start. A future release will re-examine the issue of thread factories creating threads that override the start method.
core-libs/java.util.jar➜ InflaterInputStream.read Throws EOFException (JDK-8292327):
A change to java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream in this release means it is possible that reading uncompressed bytes with this API can fail with an unexpected java.io.EOFException.
The issue arises when reading uncompressed bytes with a byte array that isn't large enough to fit all bytes that have been uncompressed. In that case, the additional uncompressed bytes are buffered by the implementation to be consumed by the next call to the read method. If the compressed stream is at end of stream then a subsequent read of the uncompressed data will fail incorrectly with EOFException.
This issue will be fixed in a future update. It may be possible to workaround the issue in some cases by calling read with a larger bye array.
core-libs/java.util.regex➜ Regex b Character Class Now Matches ASCII Characters only by Default (JDK-8264160):
The b metacharacter now matches ASCII word characters by default in the same way that the w metacharacter does. For b to match Unicode characters, the UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS must be set in the same way that it would need to be set for w to match Unicode characters.
core-libs/java.util:i18n➜ Support for CLDR Version 41 (JDK-8265315):
Locale data based on Unicode Consortium's CLDR has been upgraded to version 41. For the detailed locale data changes, please refer to the Unicode Consortium's CLDR release notes.
core-libs/javax.naming➜ Parsing of URL Strings in Built-in JNDI Providers Is More Strict (JDK-8278972 (not public)):
The parsing of URLs in the LDAP, DNS, and RMI built-in JNDI providers has been made more strict. The strength of the parsing can be controlled by system properties:
-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldapURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "ldap:" URLs)
-Dcom.sun.jndi.dnsURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "dns:" URLs)
-Dcom.sun.jndi.rmiURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "rmi:" URLs)
The default value is "compat" for all of the three providers.
The "legacy" mode turns the new validation off.
The "compat" mode limits incompatibilities.
The "strict" mode is stricter and may cause regression by rejecting URLs that an application might consider as valid.
In "compat" and "strict" mode, more validation is performed. As an example, in the URL authority component, the new parsing only accepts brackets around IPv6 literal addresses. Developers are encouraged to use java.net.URI constructors or its factory method to build URLs rather than handcrafting URL strings.
If an illegal URL string is found, a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException or a javax.naming.NamingException (or a subclass of it) is raised.
core-svc/tools➜ jstatd No Longer Requires a SecurityManager (JDK-8272317):
jstatd no longer requires a Security Manager and policy file. Running with -Djava.security.policy= to set a policy has no effect.
Internally to jstatd, an ObjectInputFilter is used to allow only essential classes to be deserialized over the RMI connection.
hotspot/jvmti➜ JVM TI Changes to Support Virtual Threads (JDK-8284161):
The JVM Tool Interface (JVM TI) has been updated in this release to support virtual threads. Maintainers of agents that use JVM TI are strongly recommended to read JEP 425 and the JVM TI 19.0 specification. The following is a summary of the JVM TI support for virtual threads:
Most JVM TI functions that are called with a jthread, such as a JNI reference to a Thread object, can be called with a reference to a virtual thread. The functions that are not supported on virtual threads are PopFrame, ForceEarlyReturn, StopThread, AgentStartFunction, and GetThreadCpuTime. The SetLocal* functions support setting local variables in the top-most frame of virtual threads that are suspended at a breakpoint or single step event but are allowed to fail with JVMTI_ERROR_OPAQUE_FRAME in other scenarios.
All JVM TI events, with the exception of those posted during early VM startup or during heap iteration, can have event callbacks invoked in the context of a virtual thread.
The GetAllThreads and GetAllStackTraces functions are specified to return all platform threads rather than all threads.
New functions SuspendAllVirtualThreads and ResumeAllVirtualThreads are added to support bulk suspend and resume of virtual threads. New events VirtualThreadStart and VirtualThreadEnd are added to support tracking of virtual threads. A new capability, can_support_virtual_threads is used to enable the use of the new functions and events.
Existing JVM TI agents will mostly work as before, but may encounter errors if they invoke functions that are not supported on virtual threads. These will arise when an agent that is unaware of virtual threads is used with an application that uses virtual threads. The change to GetAllThreads to return an array containing only the platform threads may be an issue for some agents. Existing agents that enable the ThreadStart and ThreadEnd events for all threads may encounter performance issues until they are upgraded to have finer control of these events.
hotspot/runtime➜ JNI GetVersion Returns JNI_VERSION_19 (JDK-8286176):
The Java Native Interface function GetVersion has been changed in this release to return JNI_VERSION_19 (value 0x00130000).
hotspot/runtime➜ CPU Shares Ignored When Computing Active Processor Count (JDK-8281181):
Previous JDK releases used an incorrect interpretation of the Linux cgroups parameter "cpu.shares". This might cause the JVM to use fewer CPUs than available, leading to an under utilization of CPU resources when the JVM is used inside a container.
Starting from this JDK release, by default, the JVM no longer considers "cpu.shares" when deciding the number of threads to be used by the various thread pools. The -XX:+UseContainerCpuShares command-line option can be used to revert to the previous behavior. This option is deprecated and may be removed in a future JDK release.
install/install➜ RPM JDK Installer Changes (JDK-8275446):
Installation directory name of Oracle JDK in RPM package has changed from /usr/java/jdk-${VERSION} to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-${FEATURE}-oracle-${ARCH}. Thus the 19.0.1 and 19.0.2 releases for x64 will both be installed in /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-19-oracle-x64 directory. RPM package will create /usr/java/jdk-${FEATURE} link pointing to the installation directory for backward compatibility.
Communication with the alternatives framework of JDK RPM package has changed. JDK RPM packages of prior versions registered a single java group of commands with the alternatives framework. The JDK 19 RPM package registers java and javac groups with the alternatives framework. java group is for commands used to run applications: java, keytool, and rmiregistry. javac group is used for all other commands. The set of commands registered by the package has not changed.
install/install➜ All JDK Update Releases Are Installed into the Same Directory on macOS (JDK-8281010):
The Oracle JDK installation directory name will be changed from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-${VERSION}.jdk to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-${FEATURE}.jdk. Thus the 19.0.1 and 19.0.2 releases will both install into the /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-19.jdk installation directory. Installing an older JDK update release will log an error, and not install the JDK, if a newer version of the same feature release already exists. An error dialog will be shown except in the case of a silent installation.
install/install➜ JDK-8278370: [win] Disable Side-by-Side Installations of Multiple JDK Updates in Windows JDK Installers (JDK-8278370):
Windows JDK installers must install the Oracle JDK in %Program Files%Javajdk-%FEATURE% instead of %Program Files%Javajdk-%VNUM%. I.e. all updates of the same release must share one installation directory.
Thus the 19.0.1 and 19.0.2 releases will both install into %Program Files%Javajdk-19 by default, and they both cannot be installed at the same time.
If the JDK19.0.2 installer is launched when JDK19.0.1 is already installed, it will auto-upgrade them to JDK19.0.2. There may be a Files In Use dialog shown if the older version was running and locking JDK files.
If the JDK19.0.1 installer is launched when JDK19.0.2 is already installed, it will show an error that a newer version of this JDK family is already installed.
security-libs/java.security➜ Only Expose Certificates With Proper Trust Settings as Trusted Certificate Entries in macOS KeychainStore (JDK-8278449 (not public)):
On macOS, only certificates with proper trust settings in the user keychain will be exposed as trusted certificate entries in the KeychainStore type of keystore. Also, calling the KeyStore::setCertificateEntry method or the keytool -importcert command on a KeychainStore keystore now fails with a KeyStoreException. Instead, call the macOS "security add-trusted-cert" command to add a trusted certificate into the user keychain.
security-libs/java.security➜ RC2 and ARCFOUR Algorithms Added to jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms Security Property (JDK-8286090):
The RC2 and ARCFOUR (RC4) algorithms have been added to the jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. The keytool tool issues warnings when a weak RC2 or ARCFOUR algorithm is used for its commands associated with secret key entries in the keystore.
security-libs/java.security➜ Use Larger Default Key Sizes if not Explicitly Specified (JDK-8267319):
JDK providers use provider-specific default values if the caller does not specify a key size when using a KeyPairGenerator or KeyGenerator object to generate a key pair or secret key. With this enhancement, the default key sizes for various crypto algorithms have been increased as follows:
RSA, RSASSA-PSS, DH: from 2048 to 3072
EC: from 256 to 384
AES: from 128 to 256 (if permitted by crypto policy), falls back to 128 otherwise.
In addition, the jarsigner tool will now use SHA-384 instead of SHA-256 as the default digest algorithm. The default signature algorithm for the jarsigner tool has also been adjusted accordingly. SHA-384 is used instead of SHA-256 except for longer key sizes whose security strength matches SHA-512. Note that for DSA keys, jarsigner will continue using SHA256withDSA as the default signature algorithm. This ensures maximum interoperability with older JDK releases. For more details, please refer to the keytool and jarsigner documentation.
security-libs/java.security➜ getParameters of ECDSA Signature Objects Always Return Null (JDK-8286908):
In order to be compliant to RFC 5758 Section 3.2, the Signature::getParameters method on an ECDSA signature object from the SunEC security provider will always return null, even if an earlier setParameter method has been called on this object.
security-libs/java.security
➜ DES, DESede, and MD5 Algorithms Added to jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms Security Property (JDK-8255552):
The DES, DESede and MD5 algorithms have been added to the jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. The keytool tool issues warnings when a weak DES or DESede algorithm is used for its commands associated with secret key entries in the keystore.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
➜ Fully Support Endpoint Identification Algorithm in RFC 6125 (JDK-7192189):
The JDK SunJSSE provider implementation has been enhanced to be fully compliant with RFC 6125. Prior to this release, the implementation was compliant except for one case, which has now been addressed: the implementation will not attempt to match wildcard domains in TLS certificates where the wildcard character comprises a label other than the left-most label.
If necessary, applications can workaround this restriction by implementing their own HostnameVerifier or TrustManager.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
➜ TLS Cipher Suites using 3DES Removed from the Default Enabled List (JDK-8163327):
The following TLS cipher suites that use the obsolete 3DES algorithm have been removed from the default list of enabled cipher suites:
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
Note that cipher suites using 3DES are already disabled by default in the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property. You may use these suites at your own risk by removing 3DES_EDE_CBC from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property and re-enabling the suites via the setEnabledCipherSuites() method of the SSLSocket, SSLServerSocket, or SSLEngine classes. Alternatively, if an application is using the HttpsURLConnection class, the https.cipherSuites system property can be used to re-enable the suites.
tools/javac
➜ Indy String Concat Changes Order of Operations (JDK-8273914):
String concatenation has been changed to evaluate each argument and eagerly convert it to a string, in left-to-right order. This fixes a bug in the invokedynamic-based string concatentation strategies introduced in JEP 280.
For example, the following now prints "foofoobar", not "foobarfoobar":
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("foo");
System.err.println("" + builder + builder.append("bar"));
tools/javac
➜ Lambda Deserialization Fails for Object Method References on Interfaces (JDK-8282080):
Deserialization of serialized method references to Object methods, which was using an interface as the type on which the method is invoked, can now be deserialized again. Note the classfiles need to be recompiled to allow the deserialization.
tools/javadoc(tool)
➜ JavaDoc Search Enhancements (JDK-8248863):
API documentation generated by JavaDoc now provides a standalone search page and the search syntax has been enhanced to allow for multiple search terms.
tools/jpackage
➜ Allow Per-User and System Wide Configuration of a jpackaged App (JDK-8250950):
jpackaged applications support both system-wide and per-user configuration.
jpackage application launcher will look up the corresponding .cfg file not only in the application installation directory (the system-wide installation location) but also in user-specific locations.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 11.0.16.1 LTS (Aug 19, 2022)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 17.0.4 (Jul 20, 2022)

New Features:
Core-libs/java.net:
HTTPS Channel Binding Support for Java GSS/Kerberos:
Support has been added for TLS channel binding tokens for Negotiate/Kerberos authentication over HTTPS through javax.net.HttpsURLConnection.
Channel binding tokens are increasingly required as an enhanced form of security which can mitigate certain kinds of socially engineered, man in the middle (MITM) attacks. They work by communicating from a client to a server the client's understanding of the binding between connection security (as represented by a TLS server cert) and higher level authentication credentials (such as a username and password). The server can then detect if the client has been fooled by a MITM and shutdown the session/connection.
The feature is controlled through a new system property jdk.https.negotiate.cbt which is described fully in the Networking Properties page.
Other Notes:
Core-libs/java.util.jar:
Default JDK Compressor Will Be Closed when IOException Is Encountered:
DeflaterOutputStream.close() and GZIPOutputStream.finish() methods have been modified to close out the associated default JDK compressor before propagating a Throwable up the stack. ZIPOutputStream.closeEntry() method has been modified to close out the associated default JDK compressor before propagating an IOException, not of type ZipException, up the stack.
Hotspot/runtime:
CPU Shares Ignored When Computing Active Processor Count:
Previous JDK releases used an incorrect interpretation of the Linux cgroups parameter "cpu.shares". This might cause the JVM to use fewer CPUs than available, leading to an under utilization of CPU resources when the JVM is used inside a container.
Starting from this JDK release, by default, the JVM no longer considers "cpu.shares" when deciding the number of threads to be used by the various thread pools. The -XX:+UseContainerCpuShares command-line option can be used to revert to the previous behavior. This option is deprecated and may be removed in a future JDK release.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 18.0.2 (Jul 20, 2022)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 11.0.16 LTS (Jul 20, 2022)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 18.0.1.1 (May 3, 2022)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 18.0.1 (Apr 20, 2022)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 17.0.3 (Apr 19, 2022)

New Features:
xml/jaxp
New XML Processing Limits
Three processing limits have been added to the XML libraries. These are:
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit
Description: Limits the number of groups an XPath expression can contain.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 10.
jdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit
Description: Limits the number of operators an XPath expression can contain.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 100.
jdk.xml.xpathTotalOpLimit
Description: Limits the total number of XPath operators in an XSL Stylesheet.
Type: integer
Value: A positive integer. A value less than or equal to 0 indicates no limit. If the value is not an integer, a NumberFormatException is thrown. Default 10000.
Supported processors
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit and jdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit are supported by the XPath processor.
ll three limits are supported by the XSLT processor.
Setting properties
For the XSLT processor, the properties can be changed through the TransformerFactory. For example,
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
factory.setAttribute("jdk.xml.xpathTotalOpLimit", "1000");
For both the XPath and XSLT processors, the properties can be set through the system property and jaxp.properties configuration file located in the conf directory of the Java installation. For example,
System.setProperty("jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit", "20");
or in the jaxp.properties file,
jdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit=20
JDK-8270504 (not public)
Other Notes:
security-libs/java.security
➜ Only Expose Certificates With Proper Trust Settings as Trusted Certificate Entries in macOS KeychainStore
On macOS, only certificates with proper trust settings in the user keychain will be exposed as trusted certificate entries in the KeychainStore type of keystore. Also, calling the KeyStore::setCertificateEntry method or the keytool -importcert command on a KeychainStore keystore now fails with a KeyStoreException. Instead, call the macOS "security add-trusted-cert" command to add a trusted certificate into the user keychain.
JDK-8278449 (not public)
core-libs/javax.naming
➜ Parsing of URL Strings in Built-In JNDI Providers Is More Strict
The parsing of URLs in the LDAP, DNS, and RMI built-in JNDI providers as been made more strict. The strength of the parsing can be controlled by system properties:
-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldapURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "ldap:" URLs)
-Dcom.sun.jndi.dnsURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "dns:" URLs)
-Dcom.sun.jndi.rmiURLParsing="legacy" | "compat" | "strict" (to control "rmi:" URLs)
The default value is "compat" for all of them.
The "legacy" mode turns the new validation off.
The "compat" mode limits incompatibilities.
The "strict" mode is stricter and may cause regression by rejecting URLs that an application might consider as valid.
If an illegal URL string is found, a javax.naming.NamingException (or a subclass of it) is raised.
JDK-8278972 (not public)
Bug Fixes:
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 17.0.3 Bug Fixes page.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 18 (Mar 23, 2022)

New Features and Enhancements:
core-libs/java.net:
➜ JEP 408: Simple Web Server
jwebserver, a command-line tool to start a minimal static web server, has been introduced. The tool and the accompanying API are located in the com.sun.net.httpserver package of the jdk.httpserver module and are designed to be used for prototyping, ad-hoc coding, and testing, particularly in educational contexts.
tools/javadoc(tool):
➜ JEP 413: Code Snippets in Java API Documentation
An @snippet tag for JavaDoc's Standard Doclet has been added, to simplify the inclusion of example source code in API documentation.
JEPs for Libraries:
core-libs/java.nio.charsets
➜ JEP 400: UTF-8 by Default
Starting with JDK 18, UTF-8 is the default charset for the Java SE APIs. APIs that depend on the default charset now behave consistently across all JDK implementations and independently of the user’s operating system, locale, and configuration. Specifically, java.nio.charset.Charset#defaultCharset() now returns UTF-8 charset by default. The file.encoding system property is now a part of the implementation specification, which may accept UTF-8 or COMPAT. The latter is a new property value that instructs the runtime to behave as previous releases. This change is significant to users who call APIs that depend on the default charset. Users can determine whether they'd be affected or not, by specifying -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 as the command line option with the existing Java runtime environment.
core-libs/java.net:
➜ JEP 418: Internet-Address Resolution SPI
Introduce a service-provider interface (SPI) for host name and address resolution, so that java.net.InetAddress can make use of resolvers other than the platform's built-in resolver. This new SPI allows replacing the operating system's native resolver, which is typically configured to use a combination of a local hosts file and the Domain Name System (DNS).
core-libs/java.lang:reflect:
➜ JEP 416: Reimplement Core Reflection With Method Handles
JEP 416 reimplements core reflection with method handles. Code that depends upon highly implementation-specific and undocumented aspects of the existing implementation might be impacted. Issues that might arise include:
Code that inspects the internal generated reflection classes (such as, subclasses of MagicAccessorImpl) no longer works and must be updated.
Code that attempts to break the encapsulation and change the value of the private final modifiers field of Method, Field and Constructor class to be different from the underlying member might cause a runtime error. Such code must be updated.
To mitigate this compatibility risk, you can enable the old implementation as a workaround by using -Djdk.reflect.useDirectMethodHandle=false. We will remove the old core reflection implementation in a future release. The -Djdk.reflect.useDirectMethodHandle=false workaround will stop working at that point.
JEPs for Previews and Incubator:
specification/language
➜ JEP 420: Pattern Matching for switch (Second Preview)
Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for switch expressions and statements, along with extensions to the language of patterns. Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely.
core-libs:
➜ JEP 419: Foreign Function & Memory API (Second Incubator)
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without the brittleness and danger of JNI.
core-libs:
➜ JEP 417: Vector API (Third Incubator)
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
hotspot/gc:
➜ ZGC Supports String Deduplication
The Z Garbage Collector now supports string deduplication (JEP 192 ).
hotspot/gc:
➜ SerialGC Supports String Deduplication
The Serial Garbage Collector now supports string deduplication (JEP 192).
hotspot/gc:
➜ ParallelGC Supports String Deduplication
The Parallel Garbage Collector now supports string deduplication (JEP 192).
tools/javac:
➜ Passing Originating Elements From Filer to JavaFileManager
The javax.tools.JavaFileManager has been extended with two new methods, getJavaFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles and getFileForOutputForOriginatingFiles, that are used to create new files with specified originating files. The Filer uses these methods when creating new files (with Filer.createSourceFile, Filer.createClassFile, Filer.createResource) in order to pass along the files containing the originating elements.
core-libs/java.nio.charsets:
➜ Charset.forName() Taking fallback Default Value
A new method Charset.forName() that takes fallback charset object has been introduced in java.nio.charset package. The new method returns fallback if charsetName is illegal or the charset object is not available for the name. If fallback is passed as null the caller can check if the named charset was available without having to catch the exceptions thrown by the Charset.forName(name) method.
core-libs/java.util:
➜ New System Property to Control the Default Date Comment Written Out by java.util.Properties::store Methods
A new system property, java.properties.date, has been introduced to allow applications to control the default date comment written out by the java.util.Properties::store methods. This system property is expected to be set while launching java. Any non-empty value of this system property results in that value being used as a comment instead of the default date comment. In the absence of this system property or when the value is empty, the Properties::store methods continue to write the default date comment. An additional change has also been made in the implementation of the Properties::store methods to write out the key/value property pairs in a deterministic order. The implementation of these methods now uses the natural sort order of the property keys while writing them out. However, the implementation of these methods continues to use the iteration order when any sub-class of java.util.Properties overrides the entrySet() method to return a different Set than that returned by super.entrySet().
The combination of the deterministic ordering of the properties that get written out with the new system property is particularly useful in environments where applications require the contents of the stored properties to be reproducible. In such cases, applications are expected to provide a fixed value of their choice to this system property.
core-libs/javax.annotation.processing:
➜ printError, printWarning, and printNote methods on Messager
For annotation processors, the Messager interface now has methods printError, printWarning, and printNote to directly report errors, warnings, and notes, respectively.
core-libs/javax.lang.model:
➜ Method to Get Outermost Type Element
In the javax.lang.model API, the Elements utility interface has a new method, getOutermostTypeElement, which returns the outermost class or interface syntactically enclosing an element.
core-libs/javax.lang.model:
Method to Get Outermost Type Element
In the javax.lang.model API, the Elements utility interface has a new method, getOutermostTypeElement, which returns the outermost class or interface syntactically enclosing an element.
core-libs/javax.lang.model:
Map from an Element to its JavaFileObject
The method Elements.getFileObjectOf(Element) maps from an Element to the file object used to create the element.
core-libs/javax.lang.model:
Mapping between SourceVersion and Runtime.Version
The SourceVersion enum class has methods to map between SourceVersion values and Runtime.Version values. In turn, Runtime.Version can be used to map from a string representation of a version to a Runtime.Version object.
hotspot/compiler:
Improve Compilation Replay
Compilation Replay has been improved to make it more stable and catch up with new JVM features. Enhancements include:
Best-effort support for hidden classes, allowing more cases involving invokedynamic, MethodHandles, and lambdas to replay successfully
DumpReplay support for C1
Incremental inlining support
Numerous bug fixes to improve stability
Compilation Replay is a JVM feature of debug builds that is mainly used to reproduce crashes in the C1 or C2 JIT compilers.
hotspot/gc:
Configurable Card Table Card Size
JDK-8272773 introduces the VM option -XX:GCCardSizeInBytes used to set a size of the area that a card table entry covers (the "card size") that is different from the previous fixed value of 512 bytes. Permissible values are now 128, 256, and 512 bytes for all platforms, and 1024 bytes for 64 bit platforms only. The default value remains 512 bytes.
The card size impacts the amount of work to be done when searching for references into an area that is to be evacuated (for example, young generation) during garbage collection. Smaller card sizes give more precise information about the location of these references, often leading to less work during garbage collection. At the same time, however, smaller card sizes can lead to more memory usage in storing this information. The increase in memory usage might result in slower performance of maintenance work during the garbage collection.
hotspot/gc:
Allow G1 Heap Regions up to 512MB
The JDK-8275056 enhancement extends the maximum allowed heap region size from 32MB to 512MB for the G1 garbage collector. Default ergonomic heap region size selection is still limited to 32MB regions maximum. Heap region sizes beyond that must be selected manually by using the -XX:G1HeapRegionSize command line option.
This can be used to mitigate both inner and outer fragmentation issues with large objects on large heaps.
On very large heaps, using a larger heap region size may also decrease internal region management overhead and increase performance due to larger local allocation buffers.
hotspot/jfr:
JDK Flight Recorder Event for Finalization
A new JDK Flight Recorder Event, jdk.FinalizerStatistics, identifies classes at runtime that use finalizers. The event is enabled by default in the JDK (in the default.jfc and profile.jfc JFR configuration files). When enabled, JFR will emit a jdk.FinalizerStatistics event for each instantiated class with a non-empty finalize() method. The event includes: the class that overrides finalize(), that class's CodeSource, the number of times the class's finalizer has run, and the number of objects still on the heap (not yet finalized). For information about using JFR, see the User Guide.
If finalization has been disabled with the --finalization=disabled option, no jdk.FinalizerStatistics events are emitted.
security-libs:
SunPKCS11 Provider Now Supports Some PKCS#11 v3.0 APIs
PKCS#11 v3.0 adds several new APIs that support new function entry points, as well as message-based encryption for AEAD ciphers, etc. For JDK 18, the SunPKCS11 provider has been updated to support some of the new PKCS#11 v3.0 APIs. To be more specific, if the "functionList" attribute in the provider configuration file is not set, the SunPKCS11 provider will first try to locate the new PKCS#11 v3.0 C_GetInterface() method before falling back to the C_GetFunctionList() method to load the function pointers of the native PKCS#11 library. If the loaded PKCS#11 library is v3.0, then the SunPKCS11 provider will cancel crypto operations by trying the new PKCS#11 v3.0 C_SessionCancel() method instead of finishing off remaining operations and discarding the results. Support for other new PKCS#11 v3.0 APIs will be added in later releases.
security-libs/java.security:
Alternate Subject.getSubject and doAs APIs Created That Do Not Depend on Security Manager APIs
New methods javax.security.auth.Subject::current and javax.security.auth.Subject::callAs have been created as replacements for existing methods javax.security.auth.Subject::getSubject and javax.security.auth.Subject::doAs. The javax.security.auth.Subject::getSubject and javax.security.auth.Subject::doAs methods are deprecated for removal because they depend on Security Manager APIs deprecated in JEP 411.
security-libs/java.security:
KeyStore Has a getAttributes Method
A KeyStore::getAttributes method has been added that returns the attributes of an entry without having to retrieve the entry first. This is especially useful for a private key entry that has attributes that are not protected but previously could only be retrieved with a password.
security-libs/java.security:
Support for RSASSA-PSS in OCSP Response
An OCSP response signed with the RSASSA-PSS algorithm is now supported.
security-libs/java.security:
New Option -version Added to keytool and jarsigner Commands
A new -version option has been added to the keytool and jarsigner commands. This option is used to print the program version of keytool and jarsigner.
security-libs/java.security:
Migrate cacerts From JKS to Password-Less PKCS12
The cacerts keystore file is now a password-less PKCS #12 file. All certificates inside are not encrypted and there is no MacData for password integrity. Since the PKCS12 and JKS keystore types are interoperable, existing code that uses a JKS KeyStore to load the cacerts file with any password (including null) continue to behave as expected and can view or extract the certificates contained within the keystore.
security-libs/java.security:
Allow Store Password to Be Null When Saving a PKCS12 KeyStore
Calling keyStore.store(outputStream, null) on a PKCS12 KeyStore creates a password-less PKCS12 file. The certificates inside the file are not encrypted and the file contains no MacData. This file can then be loaded with any password (including null) when calling keyStore.load(inputStream, password).
security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:
SunPKCS11 Provider Supports AES Cipher With KW and KWP Modes if Supported by PKCS11 Library
The SunPKCS11 provider has been enhanced to support the following crypto services and algorithms when the underlying PKCS11 library supports the corresponding PKCS#11 mechanisms:
AES/KW/NoPadding Cipher <=> CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP mechanism
AES/KW/PKCS5Padding Cipher <=> CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP_PAD mechanism
AES/KWP/NoPadding Cipher <=> CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP_KWP mechanism
tools/javac:
Expand checks of javac's serial lint warning
The serial lint warning implemented in javac traditionally checked that a Serializable class declared a serialVersionUID field. The structural checking done by the serial lint warning has been expanded to warn for cases where declarations would cause the runtime serialization mechanism to silently ignore a mis-declared entity, rendering it ineffectual. Also, the checks include several compile-time patterns that could lead to runtime failures. The specific checks include:
For Serializable classes and interfaces, fields and methods with names matching the special fields and methods used by the serialization mechanism are declared properly.
Additional analagous checks are done for Externalizable types as some serialization-related methods are ineffectual there.
A serializable class is checked that it has access to a no-arg constructor in the first non-serializable class up its superclass chain.
For enum classes, since the serialization spec states the five serialization-related methods and two fields are all ignored, the presence of any of those in an enum class will generate a warning.
For record classes, warnings are generated for the ineffectual declarations of serialization-related methods that serialization would ignore.
For interfaces, if a public readObject, readObjectNoData, or writeObject method is defined, a warning is issued since a class implementing the interface will be unable to declare private versions of those methods and the methods must be private to be effective. If an interface defines default writeReplace or readResolve methods, a warning will be issued since serialization only looks up the superclass chain for those methods and not for default methods from interfaces. Since a serialPersistentFields field must be private to be effective, the presence of such a (non-private) field an in interface generates a warning.
For serializable classes without serialPersistentFields, the type of each non-transient instance field is examined and a warning issued if the type of the field cannot be serialized. Primitive types, types declared to be serializable, and arrays can be serialized. While by the JLS all arrays are considered serializable, a warning is issued if the innermost component type is not serializable.
The new warnings can be suppressed using @SuppressWarnings("serial").
tools/javadoc(tool):
Options to Include Script Files in Generated Documentation
The Standard Doclet supports an --add-script option used to include a reference to an external script file in the file for each page of generated documentation.
tools/javadoc(tool):
@SuppressWarnings for DocLint Messages
You can now use @SuppressWarnings annotations to suppress messages from DocLint about issues in documentation comments, when it is not possible or practical to fix the issues that were found. For more details, see Suppressing Messages in the DocLint section of the javadoc Tool Guide.
Removed Features and Options:
This section describes the APIs, features, and options that were removed in Java SE 18 and JDK 18. The APIs described here are those that are provided with the Oracle JDK. It includes a complete implementation of the Java SE 18 Platform and additional Java APIs to support developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. Another source of information about important enhancements and new features in Java SE 18 and JDK 18 is the Java SE 18 ( JSR 393) Platform Specification, which documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 18. This document includes the identification of removed APIs and features not described here. The descriptions below might also identify potential compatibility issues that you could encounter when migrating to JDK 18.
security-libs/java.security:
Removal of IdenTrust Root Certificate
The following root certificate from IdenTrust has been removed from the cacerts keystore:
+ alias name "identrustdstx3 [jdk]"
Distinguished Name: CN=DST Root CA X3, O=Digital Signature Trust Co.
security-libs/java.security:
Removal of Google's GlobalSign Root Certificate
The following root certificate from Google has been removed from the cacerts keystore:
+ alias name "globalsignr2ca [jdk]"
Distinguished Name: CN=GlobalSign, O=GlobalSign, OU=GlobalSign Root CA - R2
client-libs/2d:
Removal of Empty finalize() Methods in java.desktop Module
The java.desktop module had a few implementations of finalize() that did nothing. These methods were deprecated in Java 9 and terminally deprecated in Java 16. These methods have been removed in this release. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8273103 for details.
core-libs/java.net:
Removal of Support for Pre JDK 1.4 DatagramSocketImpl Implementations
Support for pre JDK 1.4 DatagramSocketImpl implementations (DatagramSocketImpl implementations that don't support connected datagram sockets, peeking, or joining multicast groups on specific network interface) has been dropped in this release. Old implementations have not have been buildable since JDK 1.4 but implementations compiled with JDK 1.3 or older continued to be usable up to this release.
Trying to call connect or disconnect on a DatagramSocket or MulticastSocket that uses an old implementation will now throw SocketException or UncheckedIOException. Trying to call joinGroup or leaveGroup will result in an AbstractMethodError.
core-libs/java.net:
Removal of impl.prefix JDK System Property Usage From InetAddress
The system property impl.prefix has been removed. This undocumented system property dates from early JDK releases where it was possible to add an implementation of the JDK internal and non-public java.net.InetAddressImpl interface to the java.net package, and have it be used by the java.net.InetAddress API.
The InetAddressResolver SPI introduced by JEP 418 provides a standard way to implement a name and address resolver.
core-libs/java.net:
Removal of Legacy PlainSocketImpl and PlainDatagramSocketImpl Implementations
Legacy implementations of java.net.SocketImpl and java.net.DatagramSocketImpl have been removed from the JDK. The legacy implementation of SocketImpl has not been used by default since JDK 13, while the legacy implementation of DatagramSocketImpl has not been used by default since JDK 15. Support for system properties jdk.net.usePlainSocketImpl and jdk.net.usePlainDatagramSocketImpl used to select these implementations has also been removed. Setting these properties now has no effect.
security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5:
Removal of default_checksum and safe_checksum_type From krb5.conf
The "default_checksum" and "safe_checksum_type" settings in the krb5.conf configuration file are no longer supported. The checksum type in a KRB_TGS_REQ message is derived from the type of the encryption key used to generate it. The "safe_checksum_type" setting was never used in Java.
Deprecated Features and Options:
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 18 and JDK 18 include:
The Deprecated API page identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 18.
The Java SE 18 ( JSR 393) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 17 and Java SE 18 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 18. See CSRs Approved for JDK 18 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 18.
JEPs for Deprecation and Removals:
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ JEP 421: Deprecated Finalization for Removal
The finalization mechanism has been deprecated for removal in a future release. The finalize methods in standard Java APIs, such as Object.finalize() and Enum.finalize(), have also been deprecated for removal in a future release, along with methods related to finalization, such as Runtime.runFinalization() and System.runFinalization().
Finalization remains enabled by default, but it can be disabled for testing purposes by using the command-line option --finalization=disabled introduced in this release. Maintainers of libraries and applications that rely upon finalization should migrate to other resource management techniques in their code, such as try-with-resources and cleaners.
NOTE: The following Release Notes, not related to JEPs, describe deprecated or removed APIs, features, and options in this release:
security-libs/javax.security:
➜ Deprecated Subject::doAs for Removal
Two javax.security.auth.Subject::doAs methods have been deprecated for removal. This is a part of the ongoing effort to remove Security Manager related APIs.
See JDK-8267108
core-libs:
➜ Deprecated sun.misc.Unsafe Methods That Return Offsets
Developers that use the unsupported sun.misc.Unsafe API should be aware that the methods that return base and field offsets have been deprecated in this release. The methods objectFieldOffset, staticFieldOffset, and staticFieldBase methods are an impediment to future changes. A future release will eventually degrade or remove these methods along with the heap accessor methods.
The java.lang.invoke.VarHandle API (added in Java 9) provides a strongly typed reference to a variable that is safe and a replacement to many cases that use field offsets and the heap accessor methods. It is strongly recommended to migrate to the VarHandle API where possible. Multi-Release JARs can be used by libraries and frameworks that continue to support JDK 8 or older.
See JDK-8277863
core-libs/java.lang:
➜ Terminally Deprecated Thread.stop
Thread.stop is terminally deprecated in this release so that it can be degraded in a future release and eventually removed. The method is inherently unsafe and has been deprecated since Java 1.2 (1998).
See JDK-8277861
hotspot/gc:
➜ Obsoleted Product Options -XX:G1RSetRegionEntries and -XX:G1RSetSparseRegionEntries
The options -XX:G1RSetRegionEntries and -XX:G1RSetSparseRegionEntries have been obsoleted with the changes from JDK-8017163.
JDK-8017163 implements a completely new remembered set implementation in which these two options no longer apply. In this release, neither -XX:G1RSetRegionEntries nor -XX:G1RSetSparseRegionEntries have a function, and their use will trigger an obsoletion warning.
Other Notes:
The following notes describe additional changes and information about this release. In some cases, the following descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change.
install/install:
➜ Extended Delay Before JDK Executable Installer Starts From Network Drive
On Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, there can be some slowness with the extraction of temporary installation files when launched from a mapped network drive. The installer will still work, but there can be a temporary delay.
JDK-8274002 (not public)
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Change the java.security.manager System Property Default Value to disallow
The default value of the java.security.manager system property has been changed to disallow. Unless the system property is set to allow on the command line, any invocation of System.setSecurityManager(SecurityManager) with a non-null argument will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.
security-libs/java.security:
➜ Disabled SHA-1 Signed JARs
JARs signed with SHA-1 algorithms are now restricted by default and treated as if they were unsigned. This applies to the algorithms used to digest, sign, and optionally timestamp the JAR. It also applies to the signature and digest algorithms of the certificates in the certificate chain of the code signer and the Timestamp Authority, and any CRLs or OCSP responses that are used to verify if those certificates have been revoked.
To reduce the compatibility risk for applications that have been previously timestamped, there is one exception to this policy:
Any JAR signed with SHA-1 algorithms and timestamped prior to January 01, 2019 will not be restricted.
This exception might be removed in a future JDK release.
Users can, at their own risk, remove these restrictions by modifying the java.security configuration file (or override it by using the java.security.properties system property) and removing "SHA1 usage SignedJAR & denyAfter 2019-01-01" from the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property and "SHA1 denyAfter 2019-01-01" from the jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security property.
tools/javac:
➜ Enclosing Instance Fields Omitted from Inner Classes That Don't Use Them
Prior to JDK 18, when javac compiles an inner class it always generates a private synthetic field with a name starting with this$ to hold a reference to the enclosing instance, even if the inner class does not reference its enclosing instance and the field is unused.
Starting in JDK 18, unused this$ fields are omitted; the field is only generated for inner classes that reference their enclosing instance.
tools/javac:
Corrected References to Overloaded Methods in Javadoc Documentation
For a reference to a specific overload of an overloaded method, the javadoc tool might have linked to the wrong overload in the generated documentation. This fix resolves that issue, and the specified overload will now be used for the links in the generated documentation.
core-libs/java.io:
Default charset for PrintWriter That Wraps PrintStream
The java.io.PrintStream, PrintWriter, and OutputStreamWriter constructors that take a java.io.OutputStream and no charset now inherit the charset when the output stream is a PrintStream. This is important for usages such as:
new PrintWriter(System.out):
where it would be problematic if PrintStream didn't use the same charset as that used by System.out. This change was needed because JEP 400 makes it is possible, especially on Windows, that the encoding of System.out is not UTF-8. This would cause problems if PrintStream were wrapped with a PrintWriter that used UTF-8.
As part of this change, java.io.PrintStream now defines a charset() method to return the print stream's charset.
core-libs/java.io:serialization:
ObjectInputStream.GetField.get(name, object) Throws ClassNotFoundException
The java.io.ObjectInputStream.GetField.get(String name, Object val) method now throws ClassNotFoundException when the class of the object is not found. Previously, null was returned, which prevented the caller from correctly handling the case where the class was not found. The signature of GetField.get(name, val) has been updated to throw ClassNotFoundExceptionand a ClassNotFoundException exception is thrown when the class is not found.
The source compatibility risk is low. The addition of a throws ClassNotFoundException should not cause a source compatibility or a compilation warning. The GetField object and its methods are called within the context of the readObject method and include throws ClassNotFoundException.
To revert to the old behavior, a system property, jdk.serialGetFieldCnfeReturnsNull, has been added to the implementation. Setting the value to true reverts to the old behavior (returning null); leaving it unset or to any other value results in the throwing of ClassNotFoundException.
core-libs/java.io:serialization:
Deserialization Filter and Filter Factory Property Error Reporting Were Under Specified
Invalid values of the command line and the security properties of jdk.serialFilter and jdk.serialFilterFactory are reported by throwing java.lang.IllegalStateException on the first use. The property values are checked when constructing java.io.ObjectInputStream or when calling the methods of java.io.ObjectInputFilter.Config including getSerialFilter() and getSerialFilterFactory(). The IllegalStateException indicates that the serial filter or serial filter factory is invalid and cannot be used; deserialization is disabled. Previously, the exception thrown was ExceptionInInitializerError.
core-libs/java.net:
HttpURLConnection's getHeaderFields and URLConnection.getRequestProperties Methods Return Field Values in the Order They Were Added
URLConnection has been fixed to return multiple header values for a given field-name in the order in which they were added.
Previously, if a URLConnection contained multiple header values for a given header field-name, when retrieved by using the HttpURLConnection::getHeaderFields and the URLConnection::getRequestProperties methods, they would be returned in the reverse order to which they were added.
This has been fixed to conform to RFC2616, which explicitly states that the order matters and thus, should be maintained.
core-libs/java.net:
Prohibit Null for Header Keys and Values in com.sun.net.httpserver.Headers
In JDK 18, the handling of header names and values in jdk.httpserver/com.sun.net.httpserver.Headers has been reconciled. This includes the eager and consistent prohibition of null for names and values. The class represents header names and values as a key-value mapping of Map<String, List <String>>. Previously, it was possible to create a headers instance with a null key or value, which would cause undocumented exceptions when passed to the HttpServer. It was also possible to query the instance for a null key and false would be returned. With this change, all methods of the class now throw a NullPointerException if the key or value arguments are null. For more information, see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8269296.
core-libs/java.nio:
ReadableByteChannel::read No Longer Throws ReadOnlyBufferException
ReadableByteChannel::read no longer incorrectly throws ReadOnlyBufferException.
The read(ByteBuffer) method of the ReadableByteChannel returned by java.nio.channels.Channel.newChannel(InputStream) was incorrectly throwing ReadOnlyBufferException when its ByteBuffer parameter specified a read-only buffer. ReadableByteChannel::read is, however, specified in this case to throw an IllegalArgumentException. The implementation has been changed for this case to throw an IllegalArgumentException instead of a ReadOnlyBufferException, as dictated by the specification.
core-libs/java.nio:
Zip File System Provider Throws ZipException When Entry Name Element Contains "." or ".."
The ZIP file system provider has been changed to reject existing ZIP files that contain entries with "." or ".." in name elements. ZIP files with these entries cannot be used as a file system. Invoking the java.nio.file.FileSystems.newFileSystem(...) methods throw ZipException if the ZIP file contains these entries.
core-libs/java.time:
Update Timezone Data to 2021c
The IANA Time Zone Database, on which the JDK's Date/Time libraries are based, has made a tweak to some of the time zone rules in 2021c.
Note that in 2021b, which is cumulatively included in this change, some of the time zone rules prior to the year 1970 have been modified according to changes introduced with 2021b. For more details, refer to the announcement of 2021b.
core-libs/java.util.jar:
Disabled JAR Index Support
JAR Index has been disabled in this release. JAR Index was an optimization to postpone downloading of JAR files when loading applets or other classes over the network. JAR Index has many long standing issues and does not interact well with newer features (such as, Multi-Release JARs and modular JARs). If a JAR file contains an INDEX.LIST file, then its contents are ignored by the application class loader and by any URLClassLoader created by user code.
The system property, jdk.net.URLClassPath.enableJarIndex, can be used re-enable the feature if required. If set to an empty string or the value "true", then JAR Index will be re-enabled. This system property is temporary. A future release will remove the JAR Index feature and the system property.
The change does not impact the jar -i option. The jar tool continues to create an index when this option is used.
core-libs/java.util.jar:
Closes Out Compressor When IOException Encountered While Using Default JDK Compressor in GZIPOutputStream.finish() , ZipOutputStream.closeEntry() and DeflaterOutputStream.close()
DeflaterOutputStream.close() and GZIPOutputStream.finish() has been changed to close out the associated default JDK compressor before propagating a Throwable up the stack. ZIPOutputStream.closeEntry() has been changed to close out the associated default JDK compressor before propagating an IOException, not of type ZipException, up the stack.
hotspot/gc:
ZGC: Fixed Long Process Non-Strong References Times
A bug has been fixed that could cause long "Concurrent Process Non-Strong References" times with ZGC. The bug blocked the GC from making significant progress, and caused both latency and throughput issues for the Java application.
The long times could be seen in the GC logs when running with -Xlog:gc*:
[17606.140s][info][gc,phases ] GC(719) Concurrent Process Non-Strong References 25781.928ms
security-libs/java.security:
X509Certificate.get{Subject,Issuer}AlternativeNames and getExtendedKeyUsage Do Not Throw CertificateParsingException if Extension Is Unparseable
The JDK implementation (as supplied by the SUN provider) of X509Certificate::getSubjectAlternativeNames, X509Certificate::getIssuerAlternativeNames and X509Certificate::getExtendedKeyUsage now throws CertificateParsingException instead of returning null when the extension is non-critical and unparseable (badly encoded or contains invalid values). This change in behavior is compliant with the specification of these methods.
security-libs/javax.crypto:
Fix Issues With the KW and KWP Modes of SunJCE Provider
Support for AES/KW/NoPadding, AES/KW/PKCS5Padding and AES/KWP/NoPadding ciphers is added to SunJCE provider since jdk 17. The cipher block size for these transformations should be 8 instead of 16. In addition, for KWP mode, only the default IV, i.e. 0xA65959A6, is allowed to ensure maximum interoperability with other implementations. Other IV values will be rejected with exception during Cipher.init(...) calls.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Call X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias Once for All Key Types
The (D)TLS implementation in JDK now calls X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias() only once during handshaking for client authentication, even if there are multiple algorithms requested .
security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5:
Removed Weak etypes From Default krb5 etype List
Weak encryption types based on DES, 3DES, and RC4 have been removed from the default encryption types list in Kerberos. These weak encryption types can be enabled (at your own risk) by adding them to the "permitted_enctypes" property (or alternatively, the "default_tkt_enctypes" or "default_tgt_enctypes" properties) and setting "allow_weak_crypto" to "true" in the krb5.conf configuration file.
tools/javac:
Index Noteworthy Terms for jdk.compiler and jdk.javadoc Modules
Various terms have been added to the index files in the JDK API documentation, so that these terms can be found in both the static A-Z index and in the interactive search index.
The terms are:
Language Model, Annotation Processing, Compiler API, and Compiler Tree API.
tools/javadoc(tool):
Improved Navigation on Small Devices
The pages generated by the Standard Doclet provide improved navigation controls when the pages are viewed on small devices.
tools/javadoc(tool):
DocLint Reports Missing Descriptions
DocLint detects and reports documentation comments that do not have a description about the associate declaration before any block tags that may be present. DocLint is a feature of the javac and javadoc tools that detects and reports issues in documentation comments.
tools/javadoc(tool):
Updated Documentation for DocLint
The documentation in the Tool Guides ("man pages") for the javac and javadoc tools has been reorganized and updated. The primary documentation is now in the Tool Guide for javadoc, with information about the tool-specific command-line options being given in the Options section of the appropriate Tool Guide.
JDK-8275146 (not public)
tools/javadoc(tool):
Indicate Invalid Input in Generated Output
When the Standard Doclet encounters content in a documentation comment that it cannot process, it may create an element in the generated output to indicate clearly to the reader that the output at that position is not as the author intended. (This replaces the earlier behavior to show either nothing or the invalid content.) The element will contain a short summary message and may contain additional details. This is in addition to the existing behavior to report diagnostics and to return a suitable exit code.
tools/javadoc(tool):
Merge "Exceptions" and "Errors" into "Exception Classes"
The "Exceptions" and "Errors" tabs in documentation generated by JavaDoc have been merged into a single "Exception Classes" tab, which includes all exception classes, as defined in JLS 11.1.1.

security-libs/java.security:
Customizing PKCS12 keystore Generation:
New system and security properties have been added to enable users to customize the generation of PKCS #12 keystores. This includes algorithms and parameters for key protection, certificate protection, and MacData. The detailed explanation and possible values for these properties can be found in the "PKCS12 KeyStore properties" section of the java.security file.
Also, support for the following SHA-2 based HmacPBE algorithms has been added to the SunJCE provider: HmacPBESHA224, HmacPBESHA256, HmacPBESHA384, HmacPBESHA512, HmacPBESHA512/224, HmacPBESHA512/256

Updated List of Capabilities Provided by JDK RPMs
The following capabilities have been removed from the list of what OracleJDK/OracleJRE RPMs provide: xml-commons-api, jaxp_parser_impl, and java-fonts. This clean-up of the list resolves existing and potential conflicts with modular RPMs.
There are other RPMs providing these capabilities, so there should be no impact on packages that depend on them. Package managers can use other RPMs to satisfy the dependencies provided by the OracleJDK/OracleJRE RPMs before this change.
security-libs/java.security:
Upgraded the Default PKCS12 Encryption Algorithms:
The default encryption algorithms used in a PKCS #12 keystore have been updated. The new algorithms are based on AES-256 and SHA-256 and are stronger than the old algorithms that were based on RC2, DESede, and SHA-1. See the security properties starting with keystore.pkcs12 in the java.security file for detailed information.
For compatibility, a new system property named keystore.pkcs12.legacy is defined that will revert the algorithms to use the older, weaker algorithms. There is no value defined for this property.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Improve Encoding of TLS Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Values
Certain TLS ALPN values couldn't be properly read or written by the SunJSSE provider. This is due to the choice of Strings as the API interface and the undocumented internal use of the UTF-8 character set which converts characters larger than U+00007F (7-bit ASCII) into multi-byte arrays that may not be expected by a peer.
SunJSSE now encodes/decodes String characters as 8-bit ISO_8859_1/LATIN-1 characters. This means applications that used characters above U+000007F that were previously encoded using UTF-8 may need to either be modified to perform the UTF-8 conversion, or set the Java security property jdk.tls.alpnCharset to "UTF-8" revert the behavior.
core-libs/java.net:
URL FTP Protocol Handler: IPv4 Address Validation in Passive Mode:
Client-side FTP support in the Java platform is available through the FTP URL stream protocol handler, henceforth referred to as the FTP Client.
The following system property has been added for validation of server addresses in FTP passive mode.
jdk.net.ftp.trustPasvAddress.
In this release, the FTP Client has been enhanced to reject an address sent by a server, in response to a PASV command from the FTP Client, when that address differs from the address which the FTP Client initially connected.
To revert to the prior behavior, the jdk.net.ftp.trustPasvAddress system property can be set to true. The affect of setting this property is that the FTP Client accepts and uses the address value returned in reply to a PASV command
Bug Fixes:
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 16.0.2 (Jul 20, 2021)

Keeping the JDK up to Date:
Oracle recommends that the JDK is updated with each Critical Patch Update (CPU). In order to determine if a release is the latest, the Security Baseline page can be used to determine which is the latest version for each release family.
Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Bulletins. It is not recommended that this JDK (version 16.0.2) be used after the next critical patch update scheduled for October 19, 2021.

Core-libs/javax.naming:
New System and Security Properties to Control Reconstruction of Remote Objects by JDK's Built-in JNDI RMI and LDAP Implementations:
Jdk.jndi.object.factoriesFilter: This system and security property allows a serial filter to be specified that controls the set of object factory classes permitted to instantiate objects from object references returned by naming/directory systems. The factory class named by the reference instance is matched against this filter during remote reference reconstruction. The filter property supports pattern-based filter syntax with the format specified by JEP 290. This property applies both to the JNDI/RMI and the JNDI/LDAP built-in provider implementations. The default value allows any object factory class specified in the reference to recreate the referenced object.
Com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData: This system property allows control of the deserialization of java objects from the javaSerializedData LDAP attribute. To prevent deserialization of java objects from the attribute, the system property can be set to false value. By default, deserialization of java objects from the javaSerializedData attribute is allowed.
Security-libs/java.security:

Core-libs/java.lang:
Less Ambiguous Processing of ProcessBuilder Quotes on Windows:
In the java.lang.ProcessBuilder implementation on Windows, the system property jdk.lang.process.allowAmbiguousCommands=false ensures, for each argument, that double-quotes are properly encoded in the command string passed to Windows CreateProcess. An argument with a final trailing double-quote preceded by a backslash is encoded as a literal double-quote; previously, the argument including the double-quote would be joined with the next argument. An empty argument is encoded as a pair of double-quotes ("") resulting in a zero length string passed for the argument to the process; previously, it was silently ignored. An argument containing double-quotes, other than first and last, is encoded to preserve the double-quotes when passed to the process; previously, the embedded double-quotes would be dropped and not passed to the process. There is no change to existing behavior when the jdk.lang.process.allowAmbiguousCommands property is set to true: jdk.lang.process.allowAmbiguousCommands=true.

If necessary, and at their own risk, applications can disable the mode by setting the org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation property to Boolean.FALSE with the DOMValidateContext.setProperty() API.
Configurable extensions with system properties (JDK-8217633):
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Two new system properties have been added. The system property, "jdk.tls.client.disableExtensions", is used to disable TLS extensions used in the client. The system property, "jdk.tls.server.disableExtensions", is used to disable TLS extensions used in the server. If an extension is disabled, it will be neither produced nor processed in the handshake messages.
The property string is a list of comma separated standard TLS extension names, as registered in the IANA documentation (for example, server_name, status_request and signature_algorithms_cert). Note that the extension names are case sensitive. Unknown, unsupported, misspelled and duplicated TLS extension name tokens will be ignored.
Please note that the impact of blocking TLS extensions is complicated. For example, a TLS connection may not be able to be established if a mandatory extension is disabled. Please do not disable mandatory extensions, and do not use this feature unless you clearly understand the impact.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Build 281 (Jan 22, 2021)

New Features:
security-libs/java.security:
groupname Option Added to keytool Key Pair Generation
A new -groupname option has been added to keytool -genkeypair so that a user can specify a named group when generating a key pair. For example, keytool -genkeypair -keyalg EC -groupname secp384r1 will generate an EC key pair by using the secp384r1 curve. Because there might be multiple curves with the same size, using the -groupname option is preferred over the -keysize option.
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:
Apache Santuario Library Updated to Version 2.1.4
The Apache Santuario library has been upgraded to version 2.1.4. As a result, a new system property com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.parser.pool-size has been introduced.
This new system property sets the pool size of the internal DocumentBuilder cache used when processing XML Signatures. The function is equivalent to the org.apache.xml.security.parser.pool-size system property used in Apache Santuario and has the same default value of 20.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Support for certificate_authorities Extension
The "certificate_authorities" extension is an optional extension introduced in TLS 1.3. It is used to indicate the certificate authorities (CAs) that an endpoint supports and should be used by the receiving endpoint to guide certificate selection.
With this JDK release, the "certificate_authorities" extension is supported for TLS 1.3 in both the client and the server sides. This extension is always present for client certificate selection, while it is optional for server certificate selection.
Applications can enable this extension for server certificate selection by setting the jdk.tls.client.enableCAExtension system property to true. The default value of the property is false.
Note that if the client trusts more CAs than the size limit of the extension (less than 2^16 bytes), the extension is not enabled. Also, some server implementations do not allow handshake messages to exceed 2^14 bytes. Consequently, there may be interoperability issues when jdk.tls.client.enableCAExtension is set to true and the client trusts more CAs than the server implementation limit.

US/Pacific-New Zone Name Removed as Part of tzdata2020b
Following the JDK's update to tzdata2020b, the long-obsolete files named pacificnew and systemv have been removed. As a result, the "US/Pacific-New" Zone name declared in the pacificnew data file is no longer available for use.
core-libs/java.util:
Changed Properties.loadFromXML to Comply with Specification
The implementation of the java.util.Properties.loadFromXML method has been changed to comply with its specification. Specifically, the underlying XML parser implementation now rejects non-compliant XML documents by throwing an InvalidPropertiesFormatException as specified by the loadFromXML method.
The effect of the change is as follows:
Documents created by Properties.storeToXML: No change. Properties.loadFromXML will have no problem reading such files.
Documents not created by Properties.storeToXML: Any documents containing DTDs not in the format as specified in Properties.loadFromXML will be rejected. This means the DTD shall be exactly as follows (as generated by the Properties.storeToXML method): <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd";>

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 15.0.2 (Jan 19, 2021)

IANA Data 2020d:
JDK 15.0.2 contains IANA time zone data version 2020d. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
Security Baselines:
The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 15.0.2 are specified in the following table:
7 - 1.7.0_45
6 - 1.6.0_65
5.0 - 1.5.0_55
JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 7u45) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update, scheduled for January 14, 2014.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 7u45) on February 14, 2014. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), Java will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
Blacklist Entries:
This update release includes a blacklist entry for a standalone JavaFX installer.
JavaFX Release Notes:
JavaFX is now part of JDK. JDK 7u45 release includes JavaFX version 2.2.45.
JDK for Linux ARM
A JDK for Linux ARM is also available in this release.
New Features and Changes:
Protections Against Unauthorized Redistribution of Java Applications
Starting with 7u45, application developers can specify new JAR manifest file attributes:
Application-Name: This attribute provides a secure title for your RIA.
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: This attribute specifies the codebase/locations from which JavaScript is allowed to call Applet classes.
JavaScript to Java calls will be allowed without any security dialog prompt only if:
JAR is signed by a trusted CA, has the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry and JavaScript runs on the domain that matches it.
JAR is unsigned and JavaScript calls happens from the same domain as the JAR location.
The JavaScript to Java (LiveConnect) security dialog prompt is shown once per Applet classLoader instance.
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: If the JNLP file or HTML page is in a different location than the JAR file, the Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase attribute identifies the locations from which your RIA can be expected to be started.
If the attribute is not present or if the attribute and location do not match, then the location of the JNLP file or HTML page is displayed in the security prompt shown to the user.
Note that the RIA can still be started in any of the above cases.
Developers can refer to JAR File Manifest Attributes for more information.
Restore Security Prompts:
A new button is available in the Java Control Panel (JCP) to clear previously remembered trust decisions. A trust decision occurs when the user has selected the Do not show this again option in a security prompt. To show prompts that were previously hidden, click Restore Security Prompts. When asked to confirm the selection, click Restore All. The next time an application is started, the security prompt for that application is shown.
See Restore Security Prompts under the Security section of the Java Control Panel.
JAXP Changes:
Starting from JDK 7u45, the following new processing limits are added to the JAXP FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature.
totalEntitySizeLimit
maxGeneralEntitySizeLimit
maxParameterEntitySizeLimit
For more information, see the new Processing Limits lesson in the JAXP Tutorial.
TimeZone.setDefault Change
The java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone) method has been changed to throw a SecurityException if the method is called by any code with which the security manager's checkPermission call denies PropertyPermission("user.timezone", "write"). The new system property jdk.util.TimeZone.allowSetDefault (a boolean) is provided so that the compatible behavior can be enabled. The property will be evaluated only once when the java.util.TimeZone class is loaded and initialized.
BUG FIXES:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory.

New System Properties to Configure the TLS Signature Schemes:
Two new System Properties are added to customize the TLS signature schemes in JDK. jdk.tls.client.SignatureSchemes is added for TLS client side, and jdk.tls.server.SignatureSchemes for server side.
Each System Property contains a comma-separated list of supported signature scheme names, which specifying the signature schemes that could be used for the TLS connections.
The names are described in the "Signature Schemes" section of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification.

Other notes:
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Default SSLEngine Should Create in Server Role
In JDK 11 and later, javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine by default used client mode when handshaking. As a result, the set of default enabled protocols may differ to what is expected. SSLEngine would usually be used in server mode. From this JDK release onwards, SSLEngine will default to server mode. The javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine.setUseClientMode(boolean mode) method may be used to configure the mode.

New Features:
security-libs/javax.security:
Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted
A security property named jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms has been added that can be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism will be ignored if it is specified in the mechanisms argument of Sasl.createSaslClient or the mechanism argument of Sasl.createSaslServer. The default value for this security property is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box
security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:
SunPKCS11 Provider Upgraded with Support for PKCS#11 v2.40
The SunPKCS11 provider has been updated with support for PKCS#11 v2.40. This version adds support for more algorithms such as the AES/GCM/NoPadding cipher, DSA signatures using SHA-2 family of message digests, and RSASSA-PSS signatures when the corresponding PKCS11 mechanisms are supported by the underlying PKCS11 library.
Other notes:
security-libs/java.security:
New Checks on Trust Anchor Certificates
New checks have been added to ensure that trust anchors are CA certificates and contain proper extensions. Trust anchors are used to validate certificate chains used in TLS and signed code. Trust anchor certificates must include a Basic Constraints extension with the cA field set to true. Also, if they include a Key Usage extension, the keyCertSign bit must be set.
A new system property named jdk.security.allowNonCaAnchor has been introduced to restore the previous behavior, if necessary. If the property is set to the empty String or "true" (case-insensitive), trust anchor certificates can be used if they do not have proper CA extensions.
The default value of this property, if not set, is "false".
Note that the property does not apply to X.509 v1 certificates (since they don't support extensions).
This property is currently used by the JDK implementation. It is not guaranteed to be supported by other Java SE implementations.
security-libs/java.security:
Exact Match Required for Trusted TLS Server Certificate
A TLS server certificate must be an exact match of a trusted certificate on the client in order for it to be trusted when establishing a TLS connection.
security-libs/java.security:
Added LuxTrust Global Root 2 Certificate
The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ LuxTrust

amazonrootca3
DN: CN=Amazon Root CA 3, O=Amazon, C=US
amazonrootca4
DN: CN=Amazon Root CA 4, O=Amazon, C=US
hotspot/compiler:
Turn off AOT by Default and Change Related Flags to Experimental
Following AOT support related flags have been made experimental: UseAOT, PrintAOT and AOTLibrary. Also default value of UseAOT has been changed from enabled to disabled.
Bug fixes:
The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:
security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11
Memory Growth Issue in SunPKCS11 Fixed:
A memory growth issue in the SunPKCS11 cryptographic provider that affects the NSS back-end has been fixed.
A system property, sun.security.pkcs11.disableKeyExtraction has been introduced to disable the fix. A "true" value disables the fix, while a "false" value (default) keeps it enabled.
When enabled, PKCS#11 attributes of the NSS native keys are copied to Java byte buffers after key creation. Once used, NSS keys are destroyed and native heap space is freed up. If NSS keys are required again, they are recreated with the previously saved attributes.
Further information and implementation details can be found in the CSR: JDK-8213430
core-libs/java.io:serialization:
Better Serial Filter Handling
The jdk.serialFilter system property can only be set on the command line. If the filter has not been set on the command line, it can be set can be set with java.io.ObjectInputFilter.Config.setSerialFilter. Setting the jdk.serialFilter with java.lang.System.setProperty has no effect.

Remove Obsolete NIST EC Curves from the Default TLS Algorithms
This change removes older non-NIST Suite B EC curves from the default Named Groups used during TLS negotiation. The curves removed are sect283k1, sect283r1, sect409k1, sect409r1, sect571k1, sect571r1, and secp256k1.
To re-enable these curves, use the jdk.tls.namedGroups system property. The property contains a comma-separated list within quotation marks of enabled named groups in preference order. For example:
java -Djdk.tls.namedGroups="secp256r1, secp384r1, secp521r1, sect283k1, sect283r1, sect409k1, sect409r1, sect571k1, sect571r1, secp256k1, ffdhe2048, ffdhe3072, ffdhe4096, ffdhe6144, ffdhe8192" ...

Java Access Bridge Installation Workaround
There is a risk of breaking Java Access Bridge functionality when installing Java on a Windows system that has both a previously installed version of Java and an instance of JAWS running. After rebooting, the system can be left without the WindowsAccessBridge-64.dll in either the system directory (C:WindowsSystem32) for 64bit Java products or the system directory used by WOW64 (C:WindowsSysWoW64) for 32bit Java products.
To prevent breaking Java Access Bridge functionality, use one of the following workarounds:
Stop JAWS before running the Java installer.
Uninstall the existing JRE(s) before installing the new version of Java.
Uninstall the existing JRE(s) after the new version of Java is installed and the machine is rebooted.
The goal of the workarounds is to avoid the scenario of uninstalling existing JRE(s) from Java installer when JAWS is running.

core-libs/java.util
Changed Properties.loadFromXML to Comply with Specification
The implementation of the java.util.Properties loadFromXML method has been changed to comply with its specification. Specifically, the underlying XML parser implementation now rejects non-compliant XML documents by throwing an InvalidPropertiesFormatException as specified by the loadFromXML method.
The effect of the change is as follows:
Documents created by Properties.storeToXML: No change. Properties.loadFromXML will have no problem reading such files.
Documents not created by Properties.storeToXML: Any documents containing DTDs not in the format as specified in Properties.loadFromXML will be rejected. This means the DTD shall be exactly as follows (as generated by the Properties.storeToXML method):
DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
See JDK-8213325
core-libs/java.lang
Runtime.exec and ProcessBuilder Argument Restrictions
Runtime.exec and ProcessBuilder have been updated in this release to tighten the constraints on the quoting of arguments to processes created by these APIs. The changes may impact applications on Microsoft Windows that are deployed with a security manager. The changes have no impact on applications that are run without a security manager.
In applications where there is no security manager, there is no change in the default behavior and the new restrictions are opt-in. To enable the restrictions, set the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands to false.
In applications where there is a security manager, the new restrictions are opt-out. To revert to the previous behavior set the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands to true.
Applications using Runtime.exec or ProcessBuilder with a security manager to invoke .bat or .cmd and command names that do not end in ".exe" may be more restrictive in the characters accepted for arguments if they contain double-quote, "&", "|", "<", ">", or "^". The arguments passed to applications may be quoted differently than in previous versions.
For .exe programs, embedded double quotes are allowed and are encoded so they are passed to Windows as literal quotes. In the case where the entire argument has been passed with quotes or must be quoted to encode special characters including space and tab, the encoding ensures they are passed to the application correctly. The restrictions are enforced if there is a security manager and the jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands property is "false" or there is no security manager and property is not "false".

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 12 OpenJDK (Mar 20, 2019)

New Features
Support for Unicode 11 (JDK-8209923)
core-libs/java.lang
The JDK 12 release includes support for Unicode 11.0.0. Following the release of JDK 11, which supported Unicode 10.0.0, Unicode 11.0.0 introduced the following new features that are now included in JDK 12:
684 new characters
11 new blocks
7 new scripts.
684 new characters that include important additions for the following:
66 emoji characters
Copyleft symbol
Half stars for rating systems
Additional astrological symbols
Xiangqi Chinese chess symbols
7 new scripts :
Hanifi Rohingya
Old Sogdian
Sogdian
Dogra
Gunjala Gondi
Makasar
Medefaidrin
11 new blocks that include 7 blocks for the new scripts listed above and 4 blocks for the following existing scripts:
Georgian Extended
Mayan Numerals
Indic Siyaq Numbers
Chess Symbols
POSIX_SPAWN Option on Linux (JDK-8212828)
core-libs/java.lang
As an additional way to launch processes on Linux, the jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism property can be set to POSIX_SPAWN. This option has been available for a long time on other *nix platforms. The default launch mechanism (VFORK) on Linux is unchanged, so this additional option does not affect existing installations.
POSIX_SPAWN mitigates rare pathological cases when spawning child processes, but it has not yet been excessively tested. Prudence is advised when using POSIX_SPAWN in productive installations.
JEP 334: JVM Constants API (JDK-8203252)
core-libs/java.lang.invoke
The new package java.lang.invoke.constant introduces an API to model nominal descriptions of class file and run-time artifacts, in particular constants that are loadable from the constant pool. It does so by defining a family of value-based symbolic reference (JVMS 5.1) types, capable of describing each kind of loadable constant. A symbolic reference describes a loadable constant in purely nominal form, separate from class loading or accessibility context. Some classes can act as their own symbolic references (e.g., String); for linkable constants a family of symbolic reference types has been added (ClassDesc, MethodTypeDesc, MethodHandleDesc, and DynamicConstantDesc) that contain the nominal information to describe these constants.
Support for Compact Number Formatting (JDK-8177552)
core-libs/java.text
NumberFormat adds support for formatting a number in its compact form. Compact number formatting refers to the representation of a number in a short or human readable form. For example, in the en_US locale, 1000 can be formatted as "1K" and 1000000 can be formatted as "1M", depending upon the style specified by NumberFormat.Style. The compact number formats are defined by LDML's specification for Compact Number Formats. To obtain an instance, use one of the factory methods given by NumberFormat for compact number formatting. For example:
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCompactNumberInstance(Locale.US, NumberFormat.Style.SHORT);
String result = fmt.format(1000);
The example above results in "1K".
Square Character Support for Japanese New Era (JDK-8211398)
core-libs/java.util:i18n
The code point, U+32FF, is reserved by the Unicode Consortium to represent the Japanese square character for the new era that begins from May, 2019. Relevant methods in the Character class return the same properties as the existing Japanese era characters (e.g., U+337E for "Meizi"). For details about the code point, see http://blog.unicode.org/2018/09/new-japanese-era.html.
Allocation of Old Generation of Java Heap on Alternate Memory Devices (JDK-8202286)
hotspot/gc
This experimental feature in G1 and Parallel GC allows them to allocate the old generation of the Java heap on an alternative memory device such as NV-DIMM memory.
Operating systems today expose NV-DIMM memory devices through the file system. Examples are NTFS DAX mode and ext4 DAX mode. Memory-mapped files in these file systems bypass the file cache and provide a direct mapping of virtual memory to the physical memory on the device. The specification of a path to an NV-DIMM file system by using the flag -XX:AllocateOldGenAt=<path> enables this feature. There is no additional flag to enable this feature.
When enabled, young generation objects are placed in DRAM only while old generation objects are always allocated in NV-DIMM. At any given point, the collector guarantees that the total memory committed in DRAM and NV-DIMM memory is always less than the size of the heap as specified by -Xmx.
The current implementation pre-allocates the full Java heap size in the NV-DIMM file system to avoid problems with dynamic generation sizing. Users need to make sure there is enough free space on the NV-DIMM file system.
When enabled, the VM also limits the maximum size of the young generation based on available DRAM, although it is recommended that users set the maximum size of the young generation explicitly.
For example, if the VM is run with -Xmx756g on a system with 32GB DRAM and 1024GB NV-DIMM memory, the collector will limit the young generation size based on following calculation:
No -XX:MaxNewSize or -Xmn is specified: the maximum young generation size is set to 80% of available memory (25.6GB).
-XX:MaxNewSize or -Xmn is specified: the maximum young generation size is capped at 80% of available memory (25.6GB) regardless of the amount specified.
Users can use -XX:MaxRAM to let the VM know how much DRAM is available for use. If specified, maximum young gen size is set to 80% of the value in MaxRAM.
Users can specify the percentage of DRAM to use (instead of the default 80%) for young generation with -XX:MaxRAMPercentage.
Enabling logging with the logging option gc+ergo=info will print the maximum young generation size at startup.
ZGC: Concurrent Class Unloading (JDK-8214897)
hotspot/gc
The Z Garbage Collector now supports class unloading. By unloading unused classes, data structures related to these classes can be freed, lowering the overall footprint of the application. Class unloading in ZGC happens concurrently, without stopping the execution of Java application threads, and has zero impact on GC pause times. This feature is enabled by default, but can be disabled by using the command line option -XX:-ClassUnloading.
Command-Line Flag -XX:+ExtensiveErrorReports (JDK-8211845)
hotspot/runtime
The command-line flag -XX:+ExtensiveErrorReports has been added to allow more extensive reporting of information related to a crash as reported in the hs_err<pid>.log file. Disabled by default in product builds, the flag can be turned on in environments where maximal information is desired - even if the resulting logs may be quite large and/or contain information that might be considered sensitive.
disallow and allow Options for java.security.manager System Property (JDK-8191053)
security-libs/java.security
New "disallow" and "allow" token options have been added to the java.security.manager system property. In the JDK implementation, if the Java Virtual Machine starts with the system property java.security.manager set to "disallow", then the System.setSecurityManager method cannot be used to set a security manager and will throw an UnsupportedOperationException. The "disallow" option can improve run-time performance for applications that never set a security manager. For further details on the behavior of these options, see the class description of java.lang.SecurityManager.
-groupname Option Added to keytool Key Pair Generation (JDK-8213400)
security-libs/java.security
A new -groupname option has been added to keytool -genkeypair so that a user can specify a named group when generating a key pair. For example, keytool -genkeypair -keyalg EC -groupname secp384r1 will generate an EC key pair by using the secp384r1 curve. Because there might be multiple curves with the same size, using the -groupname option is preferred over the -keysize option.
Customizing PKCS12 keystore Generation (JDK-8076190)
security-libs/java.security
New system and security properties have been added to enable users to customize the generation of PKCS #12 keystores. This includes algorithms and parameters for key protection, certificate protection, and MacData. The detailed explanation and possible values for these properties can be found in the "PKCS12 KeyStore properties" section of the java.security file.
New Java Flight Recorder (JFR) Security Events (JDK-8148188)
security-libs/java.security
Four new JFR events have been added to the security library area. These events are disabled by default and can be enabled via the JFR configuration files or via standard JFR options.
jdk.SecurityPropertyModification
Records Security.setProperty(String key, String value) method calls
jdk.TLSHandshake
Records TLS handshake activity. The event fields include:
Peer hostname
Peer port
TLS protocol version negotiated
TLS cipher suite negotiated
Certificate id of peer client
jdk.X509Validation
Records details of X.509 certificates negotiated in successful X.509 validation (chain of trust)
jdk.X509Certificate
Records details of X.509 Certificates. The event fields include:
Certificate algorithm
Certificate serial number
Certificate subject
Certificate issuer
Key type
Key length
Certificate id
Validity of certificate
ChaCha20 and Poly1305 TLS Cipher Suites (JDK-8140466)
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
New TLS cipher suites using the ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithm have been added to JSSE. These cipher suites are enabled by default. The TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 cipher suite is available for TLS 1.3. The following cipher suites are available for TLS 1.2:
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
Refer to the "Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) Reference Guide" for details on these new TLS cipher suites.
Support for dns_canonicalize_hostname in krb5.conf (JDK-8210821)
security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5
The dns_canonicalize_hostname flag in the krb5.conf configuration file is now supported by the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to "true", a short hostname in a service principal name will be canonicalized to a fully qualified domain name if available. Otherwise, no canonicalization is performed. The default value is "true". This is also the behavior before JDK 12.
jdeps --print-module-deps Reports Transitive Dependences (JDK-8213909)
tools
jdeps --print-module-deps, --list-deps, and --list-reduce-deps options have been enhanced as follows.
By default, they perform transitive module dependence analysis on libraries on the class path and module path, both directly and indirectly, as required by the given input JAR files or classes. Previously, they only reported the modules required by the given input JAR files or classes. The --no-recursive option can be used to request non-transitive dependence analysis.
By default, they flag any missing dependency, i.e. not found from class path and module path, as an error. The --ignore-missing-deps option can be used to suppress missing dependence errors. Note that a custom image is created with the list of modules output by jdeps when using the --ignore-missing-deps option for a non-modular application. Such an application, running on the custom image, might fail at runtime when missing dependence errors are suppressed.
JEP 325: Switch Expressions (Preview) (JDK-8192963)
tools/javac
The Java language enhances the switch statement so that it can be used as either a statement or an expression. Using switch as an expression often results in code that is more concise and readable. Both the statement and expression form can use either traditional case ... : labels (with fall through) or simplified case ... -> labels (no fall through). Also, both forms can switch on multiple constants in one case. These enhancements to switch are a preview language feature.
Removed Features and Options
Removal of com.sun.awt.SecurityWarning Class (JDK-8210692)
client-libs/java.awt
The com.sun.awt.SecurityWarning class was deprecated as forRemoval=true in JDK 11 (JDK-8205588). This class was unused in the JDK and has been removed in this release.
Removal of finalize Methods from FileInputStream and FileOutputStream (JDK-8192939)
core-libs/java.io
The finalize methods of FileInputStream and FileOutputStream were deprecated for removal in JDK 9. They have been removed in this release. Thejava.lang.ref.Cleaner has been implemented since JDK 9 as the primary mechanism to close file descriptors that are no longer reachable from FileInputStream and FileOutputStream. The recommended approach to close files is to explicitly call close or to use try-with-resources.
Removal of finalize Method in java.util.ZipFile/Inflator/Deflator (JDK-8212129)
core-libs/java.util.jar
The finalize method in java.util.ZipFile, java.util.Inflator, and java.util.Deflator was deprecated for removal in JDK 9 and its implementation was updated to be a no-op. The finalize method in java.util.ZipFile, java.util.Inflator, and java.util.Deflator has been removed in this release. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method.
The removal of the finalize methods will expose Object.finalize to subclasses of ZipFile, Deflater, and Inflater. Compilation errors might occur on the override of finalize due to the change in declared exceptions. Object.finalize is now declared to throw java.lang.Throwable. Previously, only java.io.IOException was declared.
Removal of GTE CyberTrust Global Root (JDK-8195793)
security-libs/java.security
The GTE CyberTrust Global Root certificate is expired and has been removed from the cacerts keystore:
alias name "gtecybertrustglobalca [jdk]"
Distinguished Name: CN=GTE CyberTrust Global Root, OU="GTE CyberTrust Solutions, Inc.", O=GTE Corporation, C=US
Removal of javac Support for 6/1.6 source, target, and release Values (JDK-8028563)
tools/javac
Consistent with the policy outlined in JEP 182: Policy for Retiring javac -source and -target Options, support for the 6/1.6 argument value for javac's -source, -target, and --release flags has been removed.
Deprecated Features and Options
Additional sources of information about the APIs, features, and options deprecated in Java SE 12 and JDK 12 include:
The deprecated API page (API specification) identifies all deprecated APIs including those deprecated in Java SE 12.
The Java SE 12 ( JSR 386) specification documents changes to the specification made between Java SE 11 and Java SE 12 that include the identification of deprecated APIs and features not described here.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation provides a detailed description of the deprecation policy. You should be aware of the updated policy described in this document.
You should be aware of the contents in those documents as well as the items described in this release notes page.
The descriptions of deprecated APIs might include references to the deprecation warnings of forRemoval=true and forRemoval=false. The forRemoval=true text indicates that a deprecated API might be removed from the next major release. The forRemoval=false text indicates that a deprecated API is not expected to be removed from the next major release but might be removed in some later release.
The descriptions below also identify potential compatibility issues that you might encounter when migrating to JDK 12. See CSRs Approved for JDK 12 for the list of CSRs closed in JDK 12.
Obsoleted -XX:+/-MonitorInUseLists (JDK-8211384)
hotspot/runtime
The VM Option -XX:-MonitorInUseLists is obsolete in JDK 12 and ignored. Use of this flag will result in a warning being issued. This option may be removed completely in a future release.
Deprecated Default Keytool -keyalg Value (JDK-8212003)
security-libs/java.security
The default -keyalg value for the -genkeypair and -genseckey commands of keytool have been deprecated. If a user has not explicitly specified a value for the -keyalg option a warning will be shown. An additional informational text will also be printed showing the algorithm(s) used by the newly generated entry. In a subsequent JDK release, the default key algorithm values will no longer be supported and the -keyalg option will be required.
Known Issues
GTK+ 3.20 and Later Unsupported by Swing (JDK-8218469)
client-libs/javax.swing
Due to incompatible changes in the GTK+ 3 library versions 3.20 and later, the Swing GTK Look and Feel does not render some UI components when using this library. Therefore Linux installations with versions of GTK+ 3.20 and above are not supported for use by the Swing GTK Look And Feel in this release. Affected applications on such configurations should specify the system property -Djdk.gtk.version=2.2 to request GTK2+ based rendering instead.
can_pop_frame and can_force_early_return Capabilities are Disabled if JVMCI Compiler is Used (JDK-8218025)
hotspot/jvmti
The JVMTI can_pop_frame and can_force_early_return capabilities are disabled if a JVMCI compiler (like Graal) is used. As a result the corresponding functionality (PopFrame and ForceEarlyReturnXXX functions) is not available to JVMTI agents. This issue is tracked by JDK-8218885.
Other Notes
Initial Value of user.timezone System Property Changed (JDK-8185496)
core-libs/java.lang
The initial value of the user.timezone system property is undefined unless set using a command line argument, for example, -Duser.timezone="America/New_York". The first time the default timezone is needed, if user.timezone is undefined or empty the timezone provided by the operating system is used. Previously, the initial value was the empty string. In JDK 12, System.getProperty("user.timezone") may return null.
Changed URLPermission Behavior with Query or Fragments in URL String (JDK-8213616)
core-libs/java.net
The behavior of java.net.URLPermission has changed slightly. It was previously specified to ignore query and fragment components in the supplied URL string. However, this behavior was not implemented and any query or fragment were included in the internal permission URL string. The change here is to implement the behavior as specified. Internal usages of URLPermission in the JDK do not include queries or fragments. So, this will not change. In the unlikely event that user code was creating URLPermission objects explicitly, then the behavior change may be seen and that permission checks which failed erroneously previously, will now pass as expected.
Support New Japanese Era in java.time.chrono.JapaneseEra (JDK-8212941)
core-libs/java.time
The JapaneseEra class and its of(int), valueOf(String), and values() methods are clarified to accommodate future Japanese era additions, such as how the singleton instances are defined, what the associated integer era values are, etc.
Changed Properties.loadFromXML to Comply with Specification (JDK-8213325)
core-libs/java.util
The implementation of the java.util.Properties loadFromXML method has been changed to comply with its specification. Specifically, the underlying XML parser implementation now rejects non-compliant XML documents by throwing an InvalidPropertiesFormatException as specified by the loadFromXML method.
The effect of the change is as follows:
Documents created by Properties.storeToXML: No change. Properties.loadFromXML will have no problem reading such files.
Documents not created by Properties.storeToXML: Any documents containing DTDs not in the format as specified in Properties.loadFromXML will be rejected. This means the DTD shall be exactly as follows (as generated by the Properties.storeToXML method):
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
LDAPS Communication Failure (JDK-8211107)
core-libs/javax.naming
Application code using LDAPS with a socket connect timeout that is <= 0 ( the default value ), may encounter an exception when establishing the connection.
The top most frames from Exception stack traces of applications encountering such issues might resemble the following:
javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: <server:port>; socket closed
at com.sun.jndi.ldap.Connection.readReply(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapClient.ldapBind(Unknown Source)
...
G1 May Uncommit Memory During Marking Cycle (JDK-6490394)
hotspot/gc
By default, G1 may now give back Java heap memory to the operating system during any concurrent mark cycle. G1 will respect default Java heap sizing policies at that time.
This change improves memory usage of the Java process if the application does not need all memory.
This behavior may be disabled in accordance with default heap sizing policies by setting minimum Java heap size to maximum Java heap size via the -Xms option.
Added Additional TeliaSonera Root Certificate (JDK-8210432)
security-libs/java.security
The following root certificate have been added to the OpenJDK cacerts truststore:
TeliaSonera
teliasonerarootcav1
DN: CN=TeliaSonera Root CA v1, O=TeliaSonera
Removal of AOL and Swisscom Root Certificates (JDK-8203230)
security-libs/java.security
The following root certificates have been removed from the cacerts truststore:
AOL
aolrootca1
DN: CN=America Online Root Certification Authority 1, O=America Online Inc., C=US
aolrootca2
DN: CN=America Online Root Certification Authority 2, O=America Online Inc., C=US
Swisscom
swisscomrootca2
DN: CN=Swisscom Root CA 2, OU=Digital Certificate Services, O=Swisscom, C=ch
Change to X25519 and X448 Encoded Private Key Format (JDK-8213363)
security-libs/javax.crypto
The encoded format of X25519 and X448 private keys has been corrected to use the standard format described in RFC 8410. This change affects any private key produced from the "X25519", "X448", or "XDH" services in the SunEC provider. The correct format is not compatible with the format used in previous JDK versions. It is recommended that existing incompatible keys in storage be replaced with newly-generated private keys.
Removed TLS v1 and v1.1 from SSLContext Required Algorithms (JDK-8214140)
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
The requirement that all SE implementations must support TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 has been removed from the javax.net.ssl.SSLContext API and the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names specification.
Disabled All DES TLS Cipher Suites (JDK-8208350)
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
DES-based TLS cipher suites are considered obsolete and should no longer be used. DES-based cipher suites have been deactivated by default in the SunJSSE implementation by adding the "DES" identifier to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property. These cipher suites can be reactivated by removing "DES" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property in the java.security file or by dynamically calling the Security.setProperty() method. In both cases re-enabling DES must be followed by adding DES-based cipher suites to the enabled cipher suite list using the SSLSocket.setEnabledCipherSuites() or SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites() methods.
Note that prior to this change, DES40_CBC (but not all DES) suites were disabled via the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property.
Disabled TLS anon and NULL Cipher Suites (JDK-8211883)
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
The TLS anon (anonymous) and NULL cipher suites have been added to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property and are now disabled by default.
Distrust TLS Server Certificates Anchored by Symantec Root CAs (JDK-8207258)
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
The JDK will stop trusting TLS Server certificates issued by Symantec, in line with similar plans recently announced by Google, Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft. The list of affected certificates includes certificates branded as GeoTrust, Thawte, and VeriSign, which were managed by Symantec.
TLS Server certificates issued on or before April 16, 2019 will continue to be trusted until they expire. Certificates issued after that date will be rejected. See the DigiCert support page for information on how to replace your Symantec certificates with a DigiCert certificate (DigiCert took over validation and issuance for all Symantec Website Security SSL/TLS certificates on December 1, 2017).
An exception to this policy is that TLS Server certificates issued through two subordinate Certificate Authorities managed by Apple, and identified below, will continue to be trusted as long as they are issued on or before December 31, 2019.
The restrictions are enforced in the JDK implementation (the SunJSSE Provider) of the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) API. A TLS session will not be negotiated if the server's certificate chain is anchored by any of the Certificate Authorities in the table below.
An application will receive an Exception with a message indicating the trust anchor is not trusted, ex:
"TLS Server certificate issued after 2019-04-16 and anchored by a distrusted legacy Symantec root CA: CN=GeoTrust Global CA, O=GeoTrust Inc., C=US"
If necessary, and at your own risk, you can work around the restrictions by removing "SYMANTEC_TLS" from the jdk.security.caDistrustPolicies security property in the java.security configuration file.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Build 181 (Jul 18, 2018)

Removed Features and Options:
Java DB, also known as Apache Derby, has been removed in this release.
We recommend that you obtain the latest Apache Derby directly from the Apache project
Changes:
Improve LDAP support:
Endpoint identification has been enabled on LDAPS connections.
To improve the robustness of LDAPS (secure LDAP over TLS ) connections, endpoint identification algorithms have been enabled by default.
Note that there may be situations where some applications that were previously able to successfully connect to an LDAPS server may no longer be able to do so. Such applications may, if they deem appropriate, disable endpoint identification using a new system property: com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.disableEndpointIdentification.
Define this system property (or set it to true) to disable endpoint identification algorithms.
Better stack walking:
New access checks have been added during the object creation phase of deserialization. This should not affect ordinary uses of deserialization. However, reflective frameworks that make use of JDK-internal APIs may be impacted. The new checks can be disabled if necessary by setting the system property jdk.disableSerialConstructorChecks to the value "true". This must be done by adding the argument -Djdk.disableSerialConstructorChecks=true to the Java command line.
Bug Fixes:
Unable to use the JDWP API in JDK 8 to debug JDK >=9
The implementation of VirtualMachineImpl.canGetInstanceInfo() has been corrected, so it is now able to see JDK JVMs >= JDK 9.
This correction allows certain debugger agents to operate correctly without any action required from a user (developer).
JVM Crash during G1 GC:
A klass that has been considered unreachable by the concurrent marking of G1, can be looked up in the ClassLoaderData/SystemDictionary, and its _java_mirror or _class_loader fields can be stored in a root or any other reachable object making it alive again. Whenever a klass is resurrected in this manner, the SATB part of G1 needs to be notified about this, otherwise, the concurrent marking remark phase will erroneously unload that klass.
In this particular crash, while G1 was doing concurrent marking and had prepared its list of unreachable classes, JVMTI on a Java thread could traverse classes in the CLD and store thread-local JNIHandles for the java_mirror of the loaded classes. G1 did not have knowledge of these thread-local JNIHandles, and in the remark phase, it unloaded the classes per its prior knowledge of unreachable classes. When these JNIHandles were later scanned, it lead to a crash.
This fix for JDK-8187577 informs G1's SATB that a klass has been resurrected and it should not be unloaded.
Better stability with older NUMA libraries (-XX+UseNuma):
A fix included in JDK 8 Update 152 introduced a regression that might cause the HotSpot JVM to crash during startup when the UseNUMA flag is used on Linux systems with versions of libnuma older than 2.0.9. This issue has been resolved.

Concurrent safe-memory-reclamation mechanism

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Build 172 (Apr 18, 2018)

IANA Data 2018c
JDK 8u172 contains IANA time zone data version 2018c. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u172) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 17, 2018.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u172) on August 17, 2018. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version.
Known Issues:
Description for Toolkit.getImage() and Toolkit.createImage():
The changes made under JDK-8033530 introduced an inconsistency between the implementation for and the documentation of the following methods:
java.awt.Toolkit.getImage(URL u)
java.awt.Toolkit.createimage(URL u)
The description in the API document should read:
This method first checks if there is a security manager installed. If so, the method calls the security managers checkPermission() method with the corresponding permission to ensure that the access to the image or the image creation is allowed. If the connection to the specified URL requires either URLPermission or SocketPermission, then URLPermission is used for security checks.
Changes:
client-libs/java.awt
Touch Keyboard for Swing/AWT Text Components
This release adds support for automatically showing the touch keyboard for Swing/AWT text components on Microsoft Windows 8 or later. A user can display the touch keyboard either by using a touch screen to tap the text component area or by using a mouse to click in the area, when a keyboard is not attached to a computer.
The system property awt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled controls whether this functionality is enabled in the JDK. This functionality is enabled by default. However, if the functionality is not needed, the user can switch it off from the command line by setting the system property to false:
-Dawt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled=false

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 10.0.1 (Apr 17, 2018)

NOTES:
security-libs/javax.crypto:
CipherOutputStream Usage:
The specification of javax.crypto.CipherOutputStream has been clarified to indicate that this class catches BadPaddingException and other exceptions thrown by failed integrity checks during decryption. These exceptions are not re-thrown, so the client is not informed that integrity checks have failed. Because of this behavior, this class may not be suitable for use with decryption in an authenticated mode of operation (for example, GCM) if the application requires explicit notification when authentication fails. These applications can use the Cipher API directly as an alternative to using this class
NEW FEATURES:
security-libs/javax.crypto:
Enhanced KeyStore Mechanisms:
A new security property named jceks.key.serialFilter has been introduced. If this filter is configured, the JCEKS KeyStore uses it during the deserialization of the encrypted Key object stored inside a SecretKeyEntry. If it is not configured or if the filter result is UNDECIDED (for example, none of the patterns match), then the filter configured by jdk.serialFilter is consulted.
If the system property jceks.key.serialFilter is also supplied, it supersedes the security property value defined here.
The filter pattern uses the same format as jdk.serialFilter. The default pattern allows java.lang.Enum, java.security.KeyRep, java.security.KeyRep$Type, and javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec but rejects all the others.
Customers storing a SecretKey that does not serialize to the above types must modify the filter to make the key extractable.
CHANGES:
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:
XML Signatures Signed with EC Keys Less Than 224 Bits Disabled
The secure validation mode of the XML Signature implementation has been enhanced to restrict EC keys less than 224 bits by default. The secure validation mode is enabled either by setting the property org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation to true with the javax.xml.crypto.XMLCryptoContext.setProperty() method, or by running the code with a SecurityManager.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
3DES Cipher Suites Disabled:
To improve the strength of SSL/TLS connections, 3DES cipher suites have been disabled in SSL/TLS connections in the JDK via the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms Security Property.
BUG FIXES:
JDK-8195609 DRS - cert based run rule not working when running offline

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 9.0.4 (Jan 16, 2018)

NEW FEATURES IN OpenJDK 9:
security-libs/java.security:
Open source the root certificates in Oracle's Java SE Root CA program
The OpenJDK 9 binary for Linux x64 contains an empty cacerts keystore. This prevents TLS connections from being established because there are no Trusted Root Certificate Authorities installed. As a workaround for OpenJDK 9 binaries, users had to set the javax.net.ssl.trustStore System Property to use a different keystore.
"JEP 319: Root Certificates" [1] addresses this problem by populating the cacerts keystore with a set of root certificates issued by the CAs of Oracle's Java SE Root CA Program. As a prerequisite, each CA must sign the Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/oca-486395.html, or an equivalent agreement, to grant Oracle the right to open-source their certificates.
NEW FEATURES:
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for TLS
The JDK SunJSSE implementation now supports the TLS FFDHE mechanisms defined in RFC 7919. If a server cannot process the supported_groups TLS extension or the named groups in the extension, applications can either customize the supported group names with jdk.tls.namedGroups, or turn off the FFDHE mechanisms by setting the System Property jsse.enableFFDHEExtension to false.
other-libs/corba:
Add additional IDL stub type checks to org.omg.CORBA.ORBstring_to_object method
Applications that either explicitly or implicitly call org.omg.CORBA.ORB.string_to_object, and wish to ensure the integrity of the IDL stub type involved in the ORB::string_to_object call flow, should specify additional IDL stub type checking. This is an "opt in" feature and is not enabled by default.
To take advantage of the additional type checking, the list of valid IDL interface class names of IDL stub classes is configured by one of the following:
Specifying the security property com.sun.CORBA.ORBIorTypeCheckRegistryFilter located in the file conf/security/java.security in Java SE 9 or in jre/lib/security/java.security in Java SE 8 and earlier.
Specifying the system property com.sun.CORBA.ORBIorTypeCheckRegistryFilter with the list of classes. If the system property is set, its value overrides the corresponding property defined in the java.security configuration.
If the com.sun.CORBA.ORBIorTypeCheckRegistryFilter property is not set, the type checking is only performed against a set of class names of the IDL interface types corresponding to the built-in IDL stub classes.
CHANGES:
security-libs/javax.crypto:
RSA public key validation
In 9.0.4, the RSA implementation in the SunRsaSign provider will reject any RSA public key that has an exponent that is not in the valid range as defined by PKCS#1 version 2.2. This change will affect JSSE connections as well as applications built on JCE.
security-libs/javax.crypto
Provider default key size is updated
This change updates the JDK providers to use 2048 bits as the default key size for DSA instead of 1024 bits when applications have not explicitly initialized the java.security.KeyPairGenerator and java.security.AlgorithmParameterGenerator objects with a key size.
If compatibility issues arise, existing applications can set the system property jdk.security.defaultKeySize introduced in JDK-8181048 with the algorithm and its desired default key size.
security-libs/javax.crypto
Stricter key generation
The generateSecret(String) method has been mostly disabled in the javax.crypto.KeyAgreement services of the SUN and SunPKCS11 providers. Invoking this method for these providers will result in a NoSuchAlgorithmException for most algorithm string arguments. The previous behavior of this method can be re-enabled by setting the value of the jdk.crypto.KeyAgreement.legacyKDF system property to true (case insensitive). Re-enabling this method by setting this system property is not recommended.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
Disable exportable cipher suites
To improve the strength of SSL/TLS connections, exportable cipher suites have been disabled in SSL/TLS connections in the JDK by the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms Security Property.
core-svc/javax.management
JMX Connections need deserialization filters
New public attributes, RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIALS_FILTER_PATTERN and RMIConnectorServer.SERIAL_FILTER_PATTERN have been added to RMIConnectorServer.java. With these new attributes, users can specify the deserialization filter pattern strings to be used while making a RMIServer.newClient() remote call and while sending deserializing parameters over RMI to server respectively.
The user can also provide a filter pattern string to the default agent via management.properties. As a result, a new attribute is added to management.properties.
Existing attribute RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIAL_TYPES is superseded by RMIConnectorServer.CREDENTIALS_FILTER_PATTERN and has been removed.

Changes:
security-libs/java.security
Refactor existing providers to refer to the same constants for default values for key length:
Two important changes have been made for this issue:
1. A new system property has been introduced that allows users to configure the default key size used by the JDK provider implementations of KeyPairGenerator and AlgorithmParameterGenerator. This property is named "jdk.security.defaultKeySize" and the value of this property is a list of comma-separated entries. Each entry consists of a case-insensitive algorithm name and the corresponding default key size (in decimal) separated by ":". In addition, white space is ignored.
By default, this property will not have a value, and JDK providers will use their own default values. Entries containing an unrecognized algorithm name will be ignored. If the specified default key size is not a parseable decimal integer, that entry will be ignored as well.
2. The DSA KeyPairGenerator implementation of the SUN provider no longer implements java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator. Applications which cast the SUN provider's DSA KeyPairGenerator object to a java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator can set the system property "jdk.security.legacyDSAKeyPairGenerator". If the value of this property is "true", the SUN provider will return a DSA KeyPairGenerator object which implements the java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator interface. This legacy implementation will use the same default value as specified by the javadoc in the interface.
By default, this property will not have a value, and the SUN provider will return a DSA KeyPairGenerator object which does not implement the forementioned interface and thus can determine its own provider-specific default value as stated in the java.security.KeyPairGenerator class or by the "jdk.security.defaultKeySize" system property if set.
core-libs/java.util:collections
Collections use serialization filter to limit array sizes:
Deserialization of certain collection instances will cause arrays to be allocated. The ObjectInputFilter.checkInput() method is now called prior to allocation of these arrays. Deserializing instances of ArrayDeque, ArrayList, IdentityHashMap, PriorityQueue, java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList, and the immutable collections (as returned by List.of, Set.of, and Map.of) will call checkInput() with a FilterInfo instance whose serialClass() method returns Object[].class. Deserializing instances of HashMap, HashSet, Hashtable, and Properties will call checkInput() with a FilterInfo instance whose serialClass() method returns Map.Entry[].class. In both cases, the FilterInfo.arrayLength() method will return the actual length of the array to be allocated. The exact circumstances under which the serialization filter is called, and with what information, is subject to change in future releases.
security-libs/java.security
Add warnings to keytool when using JKS and JCEKS:
When keytool is operating on a JKS or JCEKS keystore, a warning may be shown that the keystore uses a proprietary format and migrating to PKCS12 is recommended. The keytool's -importkeystore command is also updated so that it can convert a keystore from one type to another if the source and destination point to the same file.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Build 152 (Oct 18, 2017)

New features:
security-libs/javax.crypto
New Security property to control crypto policy:
This release introduces a new feature whereby the JCE jurisdiction policy files used by the JDK can be controlled via a new Security property. In older releases, JCE jurisdiction files had to be downloaded and installed separately to allow unlimited cryptography to be used by the JDK. The download and install steps are no longer necessary. To enable unlimited cryptography, one can use the new crypto.policy Security property. If the new Security property (crypto.policy) is set in the java.security file, or has been set dynamically using the Security.setProperty() call before the JCE framework has been initialized, that setting will be honored. By default, the property will be undefined. If the property is undefined and the legacy JCE jurisdiction files don't exist in the legacy lib/security directory, then the default cryptographic level will remain at 'limited'. To configure the JDK to use unlimited cryptography, set the crypto.policy to a value of 'unlimited'. See the notes in the java.security file shipping with this release for more information.
Note : On Solaris, it's recommended that you remove the old SVR4 packages before installing the new JDK updates. If an SVR4 based upgrade (without uninstalling the old packages) is being done on a JDK release earlier than 6u131, 7u121, or 8u111, then you should set the new crypto.policy Security property in the java.security file.
Because the old JCE jurisdiction files are left in <java-home>/lib/security, they may not meet the latest security JAR signing standards, which were refreshed in 6u131, 7u121, 8u111, and later updates. An exception similar to the following might be seen if the old files are used:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Jurisdiction policy files are not signed by trusted signers!

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Build 151 (Oct 18, 2017)

New Features:
security-libs/javax.crypto
New Security property to control crypto policy:
This release introduces a new feature whereby the JCE jurisdiction policy files used by the JDK can be controlled via a new Security property. In older releases, JCE jurisdiction files had to be downloaded and installed separately to allow unlimited cryptography to be used by the JDK. The download and install steps are no longer necessary. To enable unlimited cryptography, one can use the new crypto.policy Security property. If the new Security property (crypto.policy) is set in the java.security file, or has been set dynamically by using the Security.setProperty() call before the JCE framework has been initialized, that setting will be honored. By default, the property will be undefined. If the property is undefined and the legacy JCE jurisdiction files don't exist in the legacy lib/security directory, then the default cryptographic level will remain at 'limited'. To configure the JDK to use unlimited cryptography, set the crypto.policy to a value of 'unlimited'. See the notes in the java.security file shipping with this release for more information.
Note:
On Solaris, it's recommended that you remove the old SVR4 packages before installing the new JDK updates. If an SVR4 based upgrade (without uninstalling the old packages) is being done on a JDK release earlier than 6u131, 7u121, 8u111, then you should set the new crypto.policy Security property in the java.security file.
Because the old JCE jurisdiction files are left in <java-home>/lib/security, they may not meet the latest security JAR signing standards, which were refreshed in 6u131, 7u121, 8u111, and later updates. An exception similar to the following might be seen if the old files are used:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Jurisdiction policy files are not signed by trusted signers! at javax.crypto.JceSecurity.loadPolicies(JceSecurity.java:593) at javax.crypto.JceSecurity.setupJurisdictionPolicies(JceSecurity.java:524)
Changes:
security-libs/java.security
Refactor existing providers to refer to the same constants for default values for key length
Two important changes have been made for this issue:
1. A new system property has been introduced that allows users to configure the default key size used by the JDK provider implementations of KeyPairGenerator and AlgorithmParameterGenerator. This property is named "jdk.security.defaultKeySize" and the value of this property is a list of comma-separated entries. Each entry consists of a case-insensitive algorithm name and the corresponding default key size (in decimal) separated by ":". In addition, white space is ignored.
By default, this property will not have a value, and JDK providers will use their own default values. Entries containing an unrecognized algorithm name will be ignored. If the specified default key size is not a parseable decimal integer, that entry will be ignored as well.
2. The DSA KeyPairGenerator implementation of the SUN provider no longer implements java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator. Applications which cast the SUN provider's DSA KeyPairGenerator object to a java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator can set the system property "jdk.security.legacyDSAKeyPairGenerator". If the value of this property is "true", the SUN provider will return a DSA KeyPairGenerator object which implements the java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator interface. This legacy implementation will use the same default value as specified by the javadoc in the interface.
By default, this property will not have a value, and the SUN provider will return a DSA KeyPairGenerator object which does not implement the forementioned interface and thus can determine its own provider-specific default value as stated in the java.security.KeyPairGenerator class or by the "jdk.security.defaultKeySize" system property if set.
core-libs/java.util:collections
Collections use serialization filter to limit array sizes:
Deserialization of certain collection instances will cause arrays to be allocated. The ObjectInputFilter.checkInput() method is now called prior to allocation of these arrays. Deserializing instances of ArrayDeque, ArrayList, IdentityHashMap, PriorityQueue, java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList, and the immutable collections (as returned by List.of, Set.of, and Map.of) will call checkInput() with a FilterInfo instance whose style="font-family: Courier New;">serialClass() method returns Object[].class. Deserializing instances of HashMap, HashSet, Hashtable, and Properties will call checkInput() with a FilterInfo instance whose serialClass() method returns Map.Entry[].class. In both cases, the FilterInfo.arrayLength() method will return the actual length of the array to be allocated. The exact circumstances under which the serialization filter is called, and with what information, is subject to change in future releases.

keytool now prints warnings when reading or generating certificates/certificate requests/CRLs using weak algorithms:
With one exception, keytool will always print a warning if the certificate, certificate request, or CRL it is parsing, verifying, or generating is using a weak algorithm or key. When a certificate is from an existing TrustedCertificateEntry, either in the keystore directly operated on or in the cacerts keystore when the -trustcacerts option is specified for the -importcert command, keytool will not print a warning if it is signed with a weak signature algorithm. For example, suppose the file cert contains a CA certificate signed with a weak signature algorithm, keytool -printcert -file cert and keytool -importcert -file cert -alias ca -keystore ks will print out a warning, but after the last command imports it into the keystore, keytool -list -alias ca -keystore ks will not show a warning anymore.
Precisely, an algorithm or a key is weak if it matches the value of the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property defined in the conf/security/java.security file.
security-libs/java.security
New defaults for DSA keys in jarsigner and keytool:
For DSA keys, the default signature algorithm for keytool and jarsigner has changed from SHA1withDSA to SHA256withDSA and the default key size for keytool has changed from 1024 bits to 2048 bits.
Users wishing to revert to the previous behavior can use the -sigalg option of keytool and jarsigner and specify SHA1withDSA and the -keysize option of keytool and specify 1024.
There are a few potential compatibility risks associated with this change:
If you have a script that uses the default key size of keytool to generate a DSA keypair but then subsequently specifies a specific signature algorithm, ex:
keytool -genkeypair -keyalg DSA -keystore keystore -alias mykey ...
keytool -certreq -sigalg SHA1withDSA -keystore keystore -alias mykey ...
it will fail with one of the following exceptions, because the new 2048-bit keysize default is too strong for SHA1withDSA:
keytool error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: The security strength of SHA-1 digest algorithm is not sufficient for this key size
keytool error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: DSA key must be at most 1024 bits
The workaround is to remove the -sigalg option and use the stronger SHA256withDSA default or, at your own risk, use the -keysize option of keytool to specify a smaller key size (1024).
If you use jarsigner to sign JARs with the new defaults, previous versions (than this release) of JDK 6 and 7 do not support the stronger defaults and will not be able to verify the JAR. jarsigner -verify on an earlier release of JDK 6 or 7 will output the following error:
jar is unsigned. (signatures missing or not parsable)
If you add -J-Djava.security.debug=jar to the jarsigner command line, the cause will be output:
jar: processEntry caught: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SHA256withDSA Signature not available
If compatibility with earlier releases is important, you can, at your own risk, use the -sigalg option of jarsigner and specify the weaker SHA1withDSA algorithm.
If you use a PKCS11 keystore, the SunPKCS11 provider does not support the SHA256withDSA algorithm. jarsigner and some keytool commands may fail with the following exception if PKCS11 is specified with the -storetype option, ex:
keytool error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports this key: sun.security.pkcs11.P11Key$P11PrivateKey
A similar error may occur if you are using NSS with the SunPKCS11 provider. The workaround is to use the -sigalg option of keytool and specify SHA1withDSA.
security-libs/java.security
Add warnings to keytool when using JKS and JCEKS:
When keytool is operating on a JKS or JCEKS keystore, a warning may be shown that the keystore uses a proprietary format and migrating to PKCS12 is recommended. The keytool's -importkeystore command is also updated so that it can convert a keystore from one type to another if the source and destination point to the same file.
security-libs/java.security
keytool now prints out information of a certificate's public key:
Keytool now prints out the key algorithm and key size of a certificate's public key, in the form of "Subject Public Key Algorithm: <size>-bit RSA key", where <size> is the key size in bits (ex: 2048).

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 9 (Sep 22, 2017)

KEY CHANGES:
Java Platform Module System:
Introduces a new kind of Java programing component, the module, which is a named, self-describing collection of code and data. This module system:
Introduces a new optional phase, link time, which is in-between compile time and run time, during which a set of modules can be assembled and optimized into a custom runtime image; see the jlink tool in Java Platform, Standard Edition Tools Reference.
Adds options to the tools javac, jlink, and java where you can specify module paths, which locate definitions of modules.
Introduces the modular JAR file, which is a JAR file with a module-info.class file in its root directory.
Introduces the JMOD format, which is a packaging format similar to JAR except it can include native code and configuration files; see the jmod tool.
The JDK itself has been divided into a set of modules. This change:
Enables you to combine the JDK's modules into a variety of configurations, including:
Configurations corresponding to the JRE and the JDK.
Configurations roughly equivalent in content to each of the Compact Profiles defined in Java SE 8.
Custom configurations that contain only a specified set of modules and their required modules.
Restructures the JDK and JRE runtime images to accommodate modules and improve performance, security, and maintainability.
Defines a new URI scheme for naming modules, classes, and resources stored in a runtime image without revealing the internal structure or format of the image.
Removes the endorsed-standards override mechanism and the extension mechanism.
Removes rt.jar and tools.jar from the Java runtime image.
Makes most of the JDK's internal APIs inaccessible by default but leaves a few critical, widely used internal APIs accessible until supported replacements exist for all or most of their functionality.
JEP 223: New Version-String Scheme:
Provides a simplified version-string format that helps to clearly distinguish major, minor, security, and patch update releases.
Installer Enhancements for Microsoft Windows:
Enable or Disable Web Deployment with Installer's UI:
Provides the option to enable or disable web deployment in the Welcome page of the installer. To enable web deployment, in the Welcome page, select Custom Setup , click Install, and select the Enable Java content in the Browser check box.
WHAT'S NEW FOR TOOLS:
JEP 222: jshell: The Java Shell (Read-Eval-Print Loop):
Adds Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) functionality to the Java platform.
JEP 228: Add More Diagnostic Commands:
Defines additional diagnostic commands to improve the ability to diagnose issues with Hotspot and the JDK.
JEP 231: Remove Launch-Time JRE Version Selection:
Removes the ability to request a version of the JRE that is not the JRE being launched at launch time. Modern applications are typically deployed through Java Web Start (with a JNLP file), native OS packaging systems, or active installers. These technologies have their own methods to manage the JREs needed by finding or downloading and updating the required JRE as needed. This makes launch-time JRE version selection obsolete.
JEP 238: Multi-Release JAR Files:
Extends the JAR file format to enable multiple, Java release-specific versions of class files to coexist in a single archive. A multirelease JAR (MRJAR) contains additional, versioned directories for classes and resources specific to particular Java platform releases. Specify versioned directories with the jar tool's --release option.
JEP 240: Remove the JVM TI hprof Agent:
Removes the hprof agent from the JDK. The hprof agent was written as demonstration code for the JVM Tool Interface and not intended to be a production tool. The useful features of the hprof agent have been superseded by better alternatives.
JEP 241: Remove the jhat Tool:
Removes the jhat tool from the JDK. The jhat tool was an experimental and unsupported tool added in JDK 6. It is out of date; superior heap visualizers and analyzers have been available for many years.
JEP 245: Validate JVM Command-Line Flag Arguments:
Validates arguments to all numerical JVM command-line flags to avoid failures and instead displays an appropriate error message if they are found to be invalid. Range and optional constraint checks have been implemented for arguments that require a user-specified numerical value.
JEP 247: Compile for Older Platform Versions:
Enhances javac so that it can compile Java programs to run on selected earlier versions of the platform. When using the -source or -target options, the compiled program might accidentally use APIs that are not supported on the given target platform. The --release option will prevent accidental use of APIs.
JEP 282: jlink: The Java Linker:
Assembles and optimizes a set of modules and their dependencies into a custom runtime image as defined in JEP 220. The jlink tool defines a plug-in mechanism for transformation and optimization during the assembly process, and for the generation of alternative image formats. It can create a custom runtime optimized for a single program. JEP 261 defines link time as an optional phase between the phases of compile time and run time. Link time requires a linking tool that assembles and optimizes a set of modules and their transitive dependencies to create a runtime image or executable
WHAT'S NEW FOR SECURITY:
JEP 219: Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS):
Enables Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) API and the SunJSSE security provider to support DTLS Version 1.0 and DTLS Version 1.2 protocols.
JEP 244: TLS Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension:
Enables the client and server in a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection to negotiate the application protocol to be used. With Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN), the client sends the list of supported application protocols as part of the TLS ClientHello message. The server chooses a protocol and returns the selected protocol as part of the TLS ServerHello message. The application protocol negotiation can be accomplished within the TLS handshake, without adding network round-trips.
JEP 249: OCSP Stapling for TLS:
Enables the server in a TLS connection to check for a revoked X.509 certificate revocation. The server does this during TLS handshaking by contacting an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder for the certificate in question. It then attaches or "staples" the revocation information to the certificate that it returns to the client so that the client can take appropriate action. Enables the client to request OCSP stapling from a TLS server. The client checks stapled responses from servers that support the feature.
JEP 246: Leverage CPU Instructions for GHASH and RSA:
Improves performance ranging from 34x to 150x for AES/GCM/NoPadding using GHASH HotSpot intrinsics. GHASH intrinsics are accelerated by the PCLMULQDQ instruction on Intel x64 CPU and the xmul/xmulhi instructions on SPARC. Improves performance up to 50% for BigInteger squareToLen and BigInteger mulAdd methods using RSA HotSpot intrinsics. RSA intrinsics apply to the java.math.BigInteger class on Intel x64. A new security property jdk.security.provider.preferred is introduced to configure providers that offer significant performance gains for specific algorithms.
JEP 273: DRBG-Based SecureRandom Implementations:
Provides the functionality of Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) mechanisms as specified in NIST SP 800-90Ar1 in the SecureRandom API.
The DRBG mechanisms use modern algorithms as strong as SHA-512 and AES-256. Each of these mechanisms can be configured with different security strengths and features to match user requirements.
JEP 288: Disable SHA-1 Certificates:
Improves the security configuration of the JDK by providing a more flexible mechanism to disable X.509 certificate chains with SHA-1-based signatures.
Disables SHA-1 in TLS Server certificate chains anchored by roots included by default in the JDK; local or enterprise certificate authorities (CAs) are not affected. The jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property is enhanced with several new constraints that allow greater control over the types of certificates that can be disabled.
JEP 229: Create PKCS12 Keystores by Default:
Modifies the default keystore type from JKS to PKCS12. PKCS#12 is an extensible, standard, and widely supported format for storing cryptographic keys. PKCS12 keystores improve confidentiality by storing private keys, trusted public key certificates, and secret keys. This feature also opens opportunities for interoperability with other systems such as Mozilla, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and OpenSSL that support PKCS12. The SunJSSE provider supplies a complete implementation of the PKCS12 java.security.KeyStore format for reading and writing PKCS12 files. See Key Management in Java Platform, Standard Edition Security Developer's Guide. The keytool key and certificate management utility can create PKCS12 keystores.
JEP 287: SHA-3 Hash Algorithms:
Supports SHA-3 cryptographic hash functions as specified in NIST FIPS 202.
The following additional standard algorithms are supported by the java.security.MessageDigest API: SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, and SHA3-512.
The following providers support SHA-3 algorithm enhancements:
SUN provider: SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, and SHA3-512
OracleUcrypto provider: SHA-3 digests supported by Solaris 12.0
WHAT'S NEW FOR DEPLOYMENT:
Deprecate the Java Plug-in:
Deprecates the Java Plug-in and associated applet technologies in Oracle's JDK 9 builds. While still available in JDK 9, these technologies will be considered for removal from the Oracle JDK and JRE in a future release. Applets and JavaFX applications embedded in a web page require the Java Plug-in to run. Consider rewriting these types of applications as Java Web Start or self-contained applications.
Enhanced Java Control Panel:
Improves the grouping and presentation of options within the Java Control Panel. Information is easier to locate, a search field is available, and modal dialog boxes are no longer used. Note that the location of some options has changed from previous versions of the Java Control Panel
JEP 275: Modular Java Application Packaging:
Integrates features from Project Jigsaw into the Java Packager, including module awareness and custom runtime creation. Leverages the jlink tool to create smaller packages. Creates applications that use the JDK 9 runtime only. Cannot be used to package applications with an earlier release of the JRE.
JEP 289: Deprecate the Applet API:
Deprecates the Applet API, which is becoming less useful as web browser vendors remove support for Java browser plug-ins. While still available in JDK 9, the Applet class will be considered for removal in a future release. Consider rewriting applets as Java Web Start or self-contained applications.
WHAT'S NEW FOR THE JAVA LANGUAGE:
JEP 213: Milling Project Coin. Identifies a few small changes:
Allow @SafeVargs on private instance methods.
Allow effectively final variables to be used as resources in the try-with-resources statement.
Allow the diamond with anonymous classes if the argument type of the inferred type is denotable.
Complete the removal, begun in Java SE 8, of the underscore from the set of legal identifier names.
Add support for private interface methods.
WHAT'S NEW FOR JAVADOC:
JEP 221: Simplified Doclet API:
Replaces the old Doclet API with a new simplified API that leverages other standard, existing APIs. The standard doclet has been rewritten to use the new Doclet API.
JEP 224: HTML5 Javadoc:
Supports generating HTML5 output. To get fully compliant HTML5 output, ensure that any HTML content provided in documentation comments are compliant with HTML5.
JEP 225: Javadoc Search:
Provides a search box to the generated API documentation. Use this search box to find program elements, tagged words, and phrases within the documentation.
JEP 261: Module System:
Supports documentation comments in module declarations. Includes new command-line options to configure the set of modules to be documented and generates a new summary page for any modules being documented.
WHAT'S NEW FOR THE JVM:
JEP 165: Compiler Control:
Provides a way to control JVM compilation through compiler directive options. The level of control is runtime-manageable and method-specific. Compiler Control supersedes, and is backward compatible, with CompileCommand.
JEP 197: Segmented Code Cache:
Divides the code cache into distinct segments, each of which contains compiled code of a particular type, to improve performance and enable future extensions.
JEP 276: Dynamic Linking of Language-Defined Object Models:
Dynamically links high-level object operations at run time, such as read a property, write a property, and invoke a function, to the appropriate target method handles. It links these operations to target method handles based on the actual types of the values passed. These object operations are expressed as invokedynamic sites.
While java.lang.invoke provides a low-level API for dynamic linking of invokedynamic call sites, it doesn't provide a way to express higher level operations on objects nor methods that implement them.
With the package jdk.dynalink, you can implement programming languages whose expressions contain dynamic types (types that cannot be determined statically) and whose operations on these dynamic types are expressed as invokedynamic call sites (because the language's object model or type system doesn't closely match that of the JVM).
WHAT'S NEW FOR JVM TUNING:
Improve G1 Usability, Determinism, and Performance:
Enhances the Garbage-First (G1) garbage collector to automatically determine several important memory-reclamation settings. Previously these settings had to be set manually to obtain optimal results. In addition, fixes issues with the usability, determinism, and performance of the G1 garbage collector.
JEP 158: Unified JVM Logging:
Introduces a common logging system for all components of the JVM.
JEP 214: Remove GC Combinations Deprecated in JDK 8"
Removes garbage collector (GC) combinations that were deprecated in JDK 8.
This means that the following GC combinations no longer exist: DefNew + CMS ParNew + SerialOld, Incremental CMS.
The "foreground" mode for Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) has also been removed. The following command-line flags have been removed:
-Xincgc
-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
-XX:+UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection
-XX:+CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction
-XX:+UseCMSCollectionPassing
The command line flag -XX:+UseParNewGC no longer has an effect. ParNew can only be used with CMS and CMS requires ParNew. Thus, the -XX:+UseParNewGC flag has been deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release.
JEP 248: Make G1 the Default Garbage Collector:
Makes Garbage-First (G1) the default garbage collector (GC) on 32- and 64-bit server configurations. Using a low-pause collector such as G1 provides a better overall experience, for most users, than a throughput-oriented collector such as the Parallel GC, which was previously the default.
JEP 271: Unified GC Logging:
Reimplements Garbage Collection (GC) logging using the unified JVM logging framework introduced in JEP 158. GC logging is re-implemented in a manner consistent with the current GC logging format; however, some differences exist between the new and old formats.
JEP 291: Deprecate the Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) Garbage Collector:
Deprecates the Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) garbage collector. A warning message is issued when it is requested on the command line, using the -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC option. The Garbage-First (G1) garbage collector is intended to be a replacement for most uses of CMS
WHAT'S NEW FOR CORE LIBRARIES:
JEP 102: Process API Updates:
Improves the API for controlling and managing operating system processes.
The ProcessHandle class provides the process's native process ID, arguments, command, start time, accumulated CPU time, user, parent process, and descendants. The class can also monitor processes' liveness and destroy processes. With the ProcessHandle.onExit method, the asynchronous mechanisms of the CompletableFuture class can perform an action when the process exits.
JEP 193: Variable Handles:
Defines a standard means to invoke the equivalents of java.util.concurrent.atomic and sun.misc.Unsafe operations upon object fields and array elements.
Defines a standard set of fence operations, which consist of VarHandle static methods that enable fine-grained control of memory ordering. This is an alternative to sun.misc.Unsafe, which provides a nonstandard set of fence operations.
Defines a standard reachability fence operation to ensure that a referenced object remains strongly reachable.
JEP 254: Compact Strings:
Adopts a more space-efficient internal representation for strings. Previously, the String class stored characters in a char array, using two bytes (16 bits) for each character. The new internal representation of the String class is a byte array plus an encoding-flag field.
This is purely an implementation change, with no changes to existing public interfaces.
JEP 264: Platform Logging API and Service:
Defines a minimal logging API that platform classes can use to log messages, together with a service interface for consumers of those messages. A library or application can provide an implementation of this service to route platform log messages to the logging framework of its choice. If no implementation is provided, then a default implementation based on the java.util.logging API is used.
JEP 266: More Concurrency Updates:
Adds further concurrency updates to those introduced in JDK 8 in JEP 155: Concurrency Updates, including an interoperable publish-subscribe framework and enhancements to the CompletableFuture API.
JEP 268: XML Catalogs:
Adds a standard XML Catalog API that supports the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) XML Catalogs version 1.1 standard. The API defines catalog and catalog-resolver abstractions that can be used as an intrinsic or external resolver with the JAXP processors that accept resolvers.
Existing libraries or applications that use the internal catalog API will need to migrate to the new API to take advantage of the new features.
JEP 269: Convenience Factory Methods for Collections:
Makes it easier to create instances of collections and maps with small numbers of elements. New static factory methods on the List, Set, and Map interfaces make it simpler to create immutable instances of those collections.
JEP 274: Enhanced Method Handles:
Enhances the MethodHandle, MethodHandles, and MethodHandles.Lookup classes of the java.lang.invoke package to ease common use cases and enable better compiler optimizations. Additions include:
In the MethodHandles class in the java.lang.invoke package, provide new MethodHandle combinators for loops and try/finally blocks.
Enhance the MethodHandle and MethodHandles classes with new MethodHandle combinators for argument handling.
Implement new lookups for interface methods and, optionally, super constructors in the MethodHandles.Lookup class.
JEP 277: Enhanced Deprecation:
Revamps the @Deprecated annotation to provide better information about the status and intended disposition of an API in the specification. Two new elements have been added:
Deprecated(forRemoval=true) indicates that the API will be removed in a future release of the Java SE platform.
Deprecated(since="version") contains the Java SE version string that indicates when the API element was deprecated, for those deprecated in Java SE 9 and beyond.
JEP 285: Spin-Wait Hints:
Defines an API that enables Java code to hint that a spin loop is executing. A spin loop repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true, such as when a lock can be acquired, after which some computation can be safely performed followed by the release of the lock. This API is purely a hint, and carries no semantic behavior requirements. See the method Thread.onSpinWait
JEP 290: Filter Incoming Serialization Data:
Allows incoming streams of object-serialization data to be filtered to improve both security and robustness. Object-serialization clients can validate their input more easily, and exported Remote Method Invocation (RMI) objects can validate invocation arguments more easily as well
Serialization clients implement a filter interface that is set on an ObjectInputStream. For RMI, the object is exported through a RemoteServerRef that sets the filter on the MarshalInputStream to validate the invocation arguments as they are unmarshalled
JEP 259: Stack-Walking API:
Provides a stack-walking API that allows easy filtering and lazy access to the information in stack traces
The API supports both short walks that stop at a frame that matches given criteria, and long walks that traverse the entire stack. Stopping at a frame that matches a given criteria avoids the cost of examining all the frames if the caller is interested only in the top frames on the stack. The API enables access to Class objects when the stack walker is configured to do so. See the class java.lang.Stackwalker
JEP 255: Merge Selected Xerces 2.11.0 Updates into JAXP:
Updates the JDK to support the 2.11.0 version of the Xerces parser. There is no change to the public JAXP API
The changes are in the following categories of Xerces 2.11.0: Datatypes, DOM L3 Serializer, XPointer, Catalog Resolver, and XML Schema Validation (including bug fixes, but not the XML Schema 1.1 development code)
WHAT'S NEW FOR NASHORN:
JEP 236: Parser API for Nashorn:
Enables applications, in particular IDEs and server-side frameworks, to parse and analyze ECMAScript code.
Parse ECMAScript code from a string, URL, or file with methods from the Parser class. These methods return an instance of CompilationUnitTree, which represents ECMAScript code as an abstract syntax tree.
The package jdk.nashorn.api.tree contains the Nashorn parser API.
JEP 292: Implement Selected ECMAScript 6 Features in Nashorn: Implements many new features introduced in the 6th edition of ECMA-262, also known as ECMAScript 6, or ES6 for short. Implemented features include the following:
Template strings
let, const, and block scope
Iterators and for..of loops
Map, Set, WeakMap, and WeakSet
Symbols
Binary and octal literals
WHAT'S NEW FOR CLIENT TECHNOLOGIES:
JEP 251: Multi-Resolution Images:
Enables a set of images with different resolutions to be encapsulated into a single multiresolution image. This could be useful for applications to adapt to display devices whose resolutions may vary from approximately 96dpi to 300dpi during run time
The interface java.awt.image.MultiResolutionImage encapsulates a set of images with different resolutions into a single multiresolution image, which enables applications to easily manipulate and display images with resolution variants
JEP 253: Prepare JavaFX UI Controls and CSS APIs for Modularization:
Provides public APIs for JavaFX UI controls and CSS functionality that were previously available only through internal packages but are now inaccessible due to modularization.
The new package javafx.scene.control.skin consists of a set of classes that provides a default implementation for the skin (or the look) of each UI control.
The new class CssParser is a CSS parser that returns a Stylesheet object, which gives you more control over the CSS styling of your application. It’s part of the CSS API (the javafx.css package). The CSS API includes new support classes, including a set of standard converters used by the parser; see the javafx.css.converter package.
JEP 256: BeanInfo Annotations:
Replaces the @beaninfo Javadoc tag with the annotation types JavaBean, BeanProperty, and SwingContainer.
These annotation types set the corresponding feature attributes during BeanInfo generation at runtime. Thus, you can more easily specify these attributes directly in Bean classes instead of creating a separate BeanInfo class for every Bean class. It also enables the removal of automatically generated classes, which makes it easier to modularize the client library.
JEP 262: TIFF Image I/O:
Adds Tag Image File Format (TIFF) reading and writing as standard to the package javax.imageio. The new package javax.imageio.plugins.tiff provides classes that simplify the optional manipulation of TIFF metadata.
JEP 263: HiDPI Graphics on Windows and Linux:
Automatically scales and sizes AWT and Swing components for High Dots Per Inch (HiDPI) displays on Windows and Linux. Prior to this release, on Windows and Linux, Java applications were sized and rendered based on pixels, even on HiDPI displays that can have pixel densities two to three times as high as traditional displays. This led to GUI components and windows that were too small to read or use.
JEP 272: Platform-Specific Desktop Features:
Adds additional methods to the class java.awt.Desktop that enable you to interact with the desktop, including the following:
Show custom About and Preferences windows.
Handle requests to open or print a list of files.
Handle requests to open a URL.
Open the native help viewer application.
Set the default menu bar.
Enable or disable the application to be suddenly terminated.
These new methods replace the functionality of the internal APIs contained in the OS X package com.apple.eawt, which are not accessible by default in JDK 9. Note that the package com.apple.eio is no longer accessible.
WHAT'S NEW FOR INTERNATIONALIZATION:
JEP 267: Unicode 8.0:
Supports Unicode 8.0. JDK 8 supported Unicode 6.2.
The Unicode 6.3, 7.0 and 8.0 standards combined introduced 10,555 characters, 29 scripts, and 42 blocks, all of which are supported in JDK 9.
JEP 252: CLDR Locale Data Enabled by Default:
Uses the Common Locale Data Repository's (CLDR) XML-based locale data, first added in JDK 8, as the default locale data in JDK 9. In previous releases, the default was JRE.
To enable behavior compatible with JDK 8, set the system property java.locale.providers to a value with COMPAT ahead of CLDR.
JEP 226: UTF-8 Properties Files:
Loads properties files in UTF-8 encoding. In previous releases, ISO-8859-1 encoding was used when loading property resource bundles. UTF-8 is a much more convenient way to represent non-Latin characters.
Most existing properties files should not be affected.

JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u144) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 17, 2017.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u144) on November 17, 2017. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
Bug Fixes
security-libs/javax.net.ssl
java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() now always returns the ZipEntry instance with a / ended entry name for directory entry
The java.util.zip.ZipEntry API doc specifies "A directory entry is defined to be one whose name ends with a /". However, in previous JDK releases, java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry(String entryName) may return a ZipEntry instance with an entry name that does not end with / for an existing zip directory entry when the passed in argument entryName does not end with a /, and when there is a matching zip directory entry with name entryName + / in the zip file.
With this release, the name of the ZipEntry instance returned from java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() always ends with / for any zip directory entry.
To revert to the previous behavior, set the system property jdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash to "false".
This change was made in order to fix a regression introduced in JDK 8u141 when verifying signed JARs that has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load.
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u144 Bug Fixes page.

IANA DATA 2017b:
JDK 8u141 contains IANA time zone data version 2017b.
CERTIFICATE CHANGES:
Let's Encrypt certificates added to root CAs. One new root certificate has been added.
NEW FEATURES:
security-libs/java.security. Improved algorithm constraints checking:
With the need to restrict weak algorithms usage in situations where they are most vulnerable, additional features have been added when configuring the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms and jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security properties in the java.security file.
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms: The certpath property has seen the most change. Previously it was limited to two Constraint types; either a full disabling of an algorithm by name or a full disabling of an algorithm by the key size when checking certificates, certificate chains, and certificate signatures. This creates configurations that are absolute and lack flexibility in their usage. Three new Constraints were added to give more flexibility in allowing and rejecting certificates.
"jdkCA" examines the certificate chain termination with regard to the cacerts file. In the case of "SHA1 jdkCA". SHA1's usage is checked through the certificate chain, but the chain must terminate at a marked trust anchor in the cacerts keystore to be rejected. This is useful for organizations that have their own private CA that trust using SHA1 with their trust anchor, but want to block certificate chains anchored by a public CA from using SHA1.
"denyAfter" checks if the given date is before the current date or the PKIXParameter date. In the case of "SHA1 denyAfter 2018-01-01", before 2018 a certificate with SHA1 can be used, but after that date, the certificate is rejected. This can be used for a policy across an organization that is phasing out an algorithm with a drop-dead date. For signed JAR files, the date is compared against the TSA timestamp. The date is specified in GMT.
"usage" examines the specified algorithm for a specified usage. This can be used when disabling an algorithm for all usages is not practical. There are three usages that can be specified:
TLSServer' restricts the algorithm in TLS server certificate chains when server authentication is performed as a client.
TLSClient' restricts the algorithm in TLS client certificate chains when client authentication is performed as a server.
SignedJAR' restricts the algorithms in certificates in signed JAR files. The usage type follows the keyword and more than one usage type can be specified with a whitespace delimiter.
For example, "SHA1 usage TLSServer TLSClient" would disallow SHA1 certificates for TLSServer and TLSClient operations, but SignedJars would be allowed
All of these constraints can be combined to constrain an algorithm when delimited by '&'. For example, to disable SHA1 certificate chains that terminate at marked trust anchors only for TLSServer operations, the constraint would be "SHA1 jdkCA & usage TLSServer".
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms: One additional constraint was added to this .jar property to restrict JAR manifest algorithms.
"denyAfter" checks algorithm constraints on manifest digest algorithms inside a signed JAR file. The date given in the constraint is compared against the TSA timestamp on the signed JAR file. If there is no timestamp or the timestamp is on or after the specified date, the signed JAR file is treated as unsigned. If the timestamp is before the specified date, the .jar will operate as a signed JAR file. The syntax for restricting SHA1 in JAR files signed after January 1st 2018 is: "SHA1 denyAfter 2018-01-01". The syntax is the same as that for the certpath property, however certificate checking will not be performed by this property.
CHANGES:
core-svc/java.lang.management. JMX Diagnostic improvements:
com.sun.management.HotSpotDiagnostic::dumpHeap API is modified to throw IllegalArgumentException if the supplied file name does not end with “.hprof” suffix. Existing applications which do not provide a file name ending with the “.hprof” extension will fail with IllegalArgumentException. In that case, applications can either choose to handle the exception or restore old behavior by setting system property 'jdk.management.heapdump.allowAnyFileSuffix' to true.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl. Custom HostnameVerifier enables SNI extension:
Earlier releases of JDK 8 Updates didn't always send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension in the TLS ClientHello phase if a custom hostname verifier was used. This verifier is set via the setHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier v) method in HttpsURLConnection. The fix ensures the Server Name is now sent in the ClientHello body.
xml/jax-ws. Tighter secure checks on processing WSDL files by wsimport tool:
The wsimport tool has been changed to disallow DTDs in Web Service descriptions, specifically:
DOCTYPE declaration is disallowed in documents
External general entities are not included by default
External parameter entities are not included by default
External DTDs are completely ignored
To restore the previous behavior:
Set the System property com.sun.xml.internal.ws.disableXmlSecurity to true
Use the wsimport tool command line option –disableXmlSecurity
NOTE: JDK 7 and JDK 6 support for this option in wsimport will be provided via a Patch release post July CPU

CHANGES:
MD5 added to jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms Security property:
This JDK release introduces a new restriction on how MD5 signed JAR files are verified. If the signed JAR file uses MD5, signature verification operations will ignore the signature and treat the JAR as if it were unsigned. This can potentially occur in the following types of applications that use signed JAR files:
Applets or Web Start Applications
Standalone or Server Applications that are run with a SecurityManager enabled and are configured with a policy file that grants permissions based on the code signer(s) of the JAR file.
The list of disabled algorithms is controlled via the security property, jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms, in the java.security file. This property contains a list of disabled algorithms and key sizes for cryptographically signed JAR files.
To check if a weak algorithm or key was used to sign a JAR file, one can use the jarsigner binary that ships with this JDK. Running "jarsigner -verify" on a JAR file signed with a weak algorithm or key will print more information about the disabled algorithm or key.
New system property to control caching for HTTP SPNEGO connection:
A new JDK implementation specific system property to control caching for HTTP SPNEGO (Negotiate/Kerberos) connections is introduced. Caching for HTTP SPNEGO connections remains enabled by default, so if the property is not explicitly specified, there will be no behavior change.
When connecting to an HTTP server that uses SPNEGO to negotiate authentication, and when connection and authentication with the server is successful, the authentication information will then be cached and reused for further connections to the same server. In addition, connecting to an HTTP server using SPNEGO usually involves keeping the underlying connection alive and reusing it for further requests to the same server. In some applications, it may be desirable to disable all caching for the HTTP SPNEGO (Negotiate/Kerberos) protocol in order to force requesting new authentication with each new request to the server.
With this change, we now provide a new system property that allows control of the caching policy for HTTP SPNEGO connections. If jdk.spnego.cache is defined and evaluates to false, then all caching will be disabled for HTTP SPNEGO connections. Setting this system property to false may, however, result in undesirable side effects:
Performance of HTTP SPNEGO connections may be severely impacted as the connection will need to be re-authenticated with each new request, requiring several communication exchanges with the server.
Credentials will need to be obtained again for each new request, which, depending on whether transparent authentication is available or not, and depending on the global Authenticator implementation, may result in a popup asking the user for credentials for every new request.
New system property to control caching for HTTP NTLM connection:
A new JDK implementation specific system property to control caching for HTTP NTLM connection is introduced. Caching for HTTP NTLM connection remains enabled by default, so if the property is not explicitly specified, there will be no behavior change.
On some platforms, the HTTP NTLM implementation in the JDK can support transparent authentication, where the system user credentials are used at system level. When transparent authentication is not available or unsuccessful, the JDK only supports getting credentials from a global authenticator. If connection to the server is successful, the authentication information will then be cached and reused for further connections to the same server. In addition, connecting to an HTTP NTLM server usually involves keeping the underlying connection alive and reusing it for further requests to the same server. In some applications, it may be desirable to disable all caching for the HTTP NTLM protocol in order to force requesting new authentication with each new requests to the server.
With this change, we now provide a new system property that allows control of the caching policy for HTTP NTLM connections. If jdk.ntlm.cache is defined and evaluates to false, then all caching will be disabled for HTTP NTLM connections. Setting this system property to false may, however, result in undesirable side effects:
Performance of HTTP NTLM connections may be severely impacted as the connection will need to be re-authenticated with each new request, requiring several communication exchanges with the server.
Credentials will need to be obtained again for each new request, which, depending on whether transparent authentication is available or not, and depending on the global Authenticator implementation, may result in a popup asking the user for credentials for every new request.
New version of VisualVM:
VisualVM 1.3.9 was released on October 4th, 2016 and has been integrated into 8u131.
BUG FIXES:
Correction of IllegalArgumentException from TLS handshake:
A recent issue from the JDK-8173783 fix can cause issue for some TLS servers. The problem originates from an IllegalArgumentException thrown by the TLS handshaker code: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: System property jdk.tls.namedGroups(null) contains no supported elliptic curves. The issue can arise when the server doesn't have elliptic curve cryptography support to handle an elliptic curve name extension field (if present). Users are advised to upgrade to this release. By default, JDK 7 Updates and later JDK families ship with the SunEC security provider which provides elliptic curve cryptography support. Those releases should not be impacted unless security providers are modified.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 121 (Jan 17, 2017)

Improved protection for JNDI remote class loading
Remote class loading via JNDI object factories stored in naming and directory services is disabled by default. To enable remote class loading by the RMI Registry or COS Naming service provider, set the following system property to the string "true", as appropriate:
com.sun.jndi.rmi.object.trustURLCodebase
com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.object.trustURLCodebase
jarsigner -verbose -verify should print the algorithms used to sign the jar:
The jarsigner tool has been enhanced to show details of the algorithms and keys used to generate a signed JAR file and will also provide an indication if any of them are considered weak.
Specifically, when "jarsigner -verify -verbose filename.jar" is called, a separate section is printed out showing information of the signature and timestamp (if it exists) inside the signed JAR file, even if it is treated as unsigned for various reasons. If any algorithm or key used is considered weak, as specified in the Security property, jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms, it will be labeled with "(weak)".
NEW FEATURES:
RMI Better constraint checking:
RMI Registry and Distributed Garbage Collection use the mechanisms of JEP 290 Serialization Filtering to improve service robustness
RMI Registry and DGC implement built-in white-list filters for the typical classes expected to be used with each service
Additional filter patterns can be configured using either a system property or a security property. The "sun.rmi.registry.registryFilter" and "sun.rmi.transport.dgcFilter" property pattern syntax is described in JEP 290 and in <JRE>/lib/security/java.security
JDK-8156802 (not public)
Add mechanism to allow non-default root CAs to not be subject to algorithm restrictions:
New certpath constraint: jdkCA*
In the java.security file, an additional constraint named "jdkCA" is added to the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms property. This constraint prohibits the specified algorithm only if the algorithm is used in a certificate chain that terminates at a marked trust anchor in the lib/security/cacerts keystore. If the jdkCA constraint is not set, then all chains using the specified algorithm are restricted. jdkCA may only be used once in a DisabledAlgorithm expression.
Example: To apply this constraint to SHA-1 certificates, include the following: SHA1 jdkC
CHANGES:
The secure validation mode of the XML Signature implementation has been enhanced to restrict RSA and DSA keys less than 1024 bits by default as they are no longer secure enough for digital signatures. Additionally, a new security property named jdk.xml.dsig.SecureValidationPolicy has been added to the java.security file and can be used to control the different restrictions enforced when the secure validation mode is enabled.
The secure validation mode is enabled either by setting the xml signature property org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation to true with the javax.xml.crypto.XMLCryptoContext.setProperty method, or by running the code with a SecurityManager.
If an XML Signature is generated or validated with a weak RSA or DSA key, an XMLSignatureException will be thrown with the message, "RSA keys less than 1024 bits are forbidden when secure validation is enabled" or "DSA keys less than 1024 bits are forbidden when secure validation is enabled."
Restrict certificates with DSA keys less than 1024 bits:
DSA keys less than 1024 bits are not strong enough and should be restricted in certification path building and validation. Accordingly, DSA keys less than 1024 bits have been deactivated by default by adding "DSA keySize < 1024" to the "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms" security property. Applications can update this restriction in the security property ("jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms") and permit smaller key sizes if really needed (for example, "DSA keySize < 768").
More checks added to DER encoding parsing code:
More checks are added to the DER encoding parsing code to catch various encoding errors. In addition, signatures which contain constructed indefinite length encoding will now lead to IOException during parsing. Note that signatures generated using JDK default providers are not affected by this change.
Additional access restrictions for URLClassLoader.newInstance:
Class loaders created by the java.net.URLClassLoader.newInstance methods can be used to load classes from a list of given URLs. If the calling code does not have access to one or more of the URLs and the URL artifacts that can be accessed do not contain the required class, then a ClassNotFoundException, or similar, will be thrown. Previously, a SecurityException would have been thrown when access to a URL was denied. If required to revert to the old behavior, this change can be disabled by setting the jdk.net.URLClassPath.disableRestrictedPermissions system property.
A new configurable property in logging.properties java.util.logging.FileHandler.maxLocks:
A new "java.util.logging.FileHandler.maxLocks" configurable property is added to java.util.logging.FileHandler.
This new logging property can be defined in the logging configuration file and makes it possible to configure the maximum number of concurrent log file locks a FileHandler can handle. The default value is 100.
In a highly concurrent environment where multiple (more than 101) standalone client applications are using the JDK Logging API with FileHandler simultaneously, it may happen that the default limit of 100 is reached, resulting in a failure to acquire FileHandler file locks and causing an IO Exception to be thrown. In such a case, the new logging property can be used to increase the maximum number of locks before deploying the application.
If not overridden, the default value of maxLocks (100) remains unchanged. See java.util.logging.LogManager and java.util.logging.FileHandler API documentation for more details.
BUG FIXES:
Trackpad scrolling of text on OS X 10.12 Sierra is very fast:
The MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation() method returned rounded native NSEvent deltaX/Y events on Mac OS X. The latest macOS Sierra 10.12 produces very small NSEvent deltaX/Y values so rounding and summing them leads to the huge value returned from the MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation(). The JDK-8166591 fix accumulates NSEvent deltaX/Y and the MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation() method returns non-zero values only when the accumulated value exceeds a threshold and zero value. This is compliant with the MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation() specification
"Returns the number of "clicks" the mouse wheel was rotated, as an integer. A partial rotation may occur if the mouse supports a high-resolution wheel. In this case, the method returns zero until a full "click" has been accumulated."
For the precise wheel rotation values, use the MouseWheelEvent.getPreciseWheelRotation() method instead.
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 112 (Oct 18, 2016)

CHANGES:
security-libs/java.security:
SunPKCS11 Provider no longer offering SecureRandom by default
SecureRandom.PKCS11 from the SunPKCS11 Provider is disabled by default on Solaris because the native PKCS11 implementation has poor performance and is not recommended. If your application requires SecureRandom.PKCS11, you can re-enable it by removing "SecureRandom" from the disabledMechanisms list in conf/security/sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg
Performance improvements have also been made in the java.security.SecureRandom class. Improvements in the JDK implementation have allowed for synchronization to be removed from the java.security.SecureRandom.nextBytes(byte[] bytes) method.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 111 (Oct 18, 2016)

CERTIFICATE CHANGES:
New JCE Code Signing Root CA:
In order to support longer key lengths and stronger signature algorithms, a new JCE Provider Code Signing root certificate authority has been created and its certificate added to Oracle JDK. New JCE provider code signing certificates issued from this CA will be used to sign JCE providers from this point forward. By default, new requests for JCE provider code signing certificates will be issued from this CA.
Existing certificates from the current JCE provider code signing root will continue to validate. However, this root CA may be disabled at some point in the future. We recommend that new certificates be requested and existing provider JARs be re-signed.
CHANGES:
client-libs/java.awt:
Service Menu services
The lifecycle management of AWT menu components exposed problems on certain platforms. This fix improves state synchronization between menus and their containers.
core-libs/java.net:
Disable Basic authentication for HTTPS tunneling
In some environments, certain authentication schemes may be undesirable when proxying HTTPS. Accordingly, the Basic authentication scheme has been deactivated, by default, in the Oracle Java Runtime, by adding Basic to the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes networking property. Now, proxies requiring Basic authentication when setting up a tunnel for HTTPS will no longer succeed by default. If required, this authentication scheme can be reactivated by removing Basic from the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes networking property, or by setting a system property of the same name to "" ( empty ) on the command line.
Additionally, the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes and jdk.http.auth.proxying.disabledSchemes networking properties, and system properties of the same name, can be used to disable other authentication schemes that may be active when setting up a tunnel for HTTPS, or proxying plain HTTP, respectively.
security-libs/java.security:
Restrict JARs signed with weak algorithms and keys
This JDK release introduces new restrictions on how signed JAR files are verified. If the signed JAR file uses a disabled algorithm or key size less than the minimum length, signature verification operations will ignore the signature and treat the JAR file as if it were unsigned. This can potentially occur in the following types of applications that use signed JAR files:
1. Applets or Web Start Applications
2. Standalone or Server Applications run with a SecurityManager enabled and that are configured with a policy file that grants permissions based on the code signer(s) of the JAR.
The list of disabled algorithms is controlled via a new security property, jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms, in the java.security file. This property contains a list of disabled algorithms and key sizes for cryptographically signed JAR files.
The following algorithms and key sizes are restricted in this release:
MD2 (in either the digest or signature algorithm)
RSA keys less than 1024 bits
To check if a weak algorithm or key was used to sign a JAR file, you can use the jarsigner binary that ships with this JDK. Running jarsigner -verify -J-Djava.security.debug=jar on a JAR file signed with a weak algorithm or key will print more information about the disabled algorithm or key.
deploy:
Warning message added to deployment authenticator dialog
A warning has been added to the plugin authentication dialog in cases where HTTP Basic authentication (credentials are sent unencrypted) is used while using a proxy or while not using SSL/TLS protocols:
"WARNING: Basic authentication scheme will effectively transmit your credentials in clear text. Do you really want to do this?"

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 92 (Apr 20, 2016)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 91 (Apr 20, 2016)

The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:
DSA signature generation is now subject to a key strength check:
For signature generation, if the security strength of the digest algorithm is weaker than the security strength of the key used to sign the signature (e.g. using (2048, 256)-bit DSA keys with SHA1withDSA signature), the operation will fail with the error message:
"The security strength of SHA1 digest algorithm is not sufficient for this key size."
JDK-8138593 (not public)
Firefox 42 liveconnect problem:
Because it might cause the browser to hang, we don't process JavaScript-to-Java calls when the Java plugin is launched from plugin-container.exe (the default behavior for Firefox 42) and the applet status is not Ready(2). If the applet is not ready (the status is not 2), we don't execute the actual Java method and only return null.
If the plugin is launched from plugin-container.exe, do not use JavaScript-To-Java calls that may require more than 11 seconds(the default value of dom.ipc.plugins.hangUITimeoutSecs) to be completed or show a modal dialog during JavaScript-To-Java call. In this case, the main browser thread must be blocked, which might cause the browser to hang and the plugin to terminate.
Workaround (for Firefox 42):
User’s can set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled=false. The side effect of this workaround is that it changes the setting for all plugins.
JDK-8144079 (not public)
New attribute for JMX RMI JRMP servers specifies a list of class names to use when deserializing server credentials:
A new java attribute has been defined for the environment to allow a JMX RMI JRMP server to specify a list of class names. These names correspond to the closure of class names that are expected by the server when deserializing credentials. For instance, if the expected credentials were a List, then the closure would constitute all the concrete classes that should be expected in the serial form of a list of Strings.
By default, this attribute is used only by the default agent with the following:
"[Ljava.lang.String;",
"java.lang.String"
Only arrays of Strings and Strings will be accepted when deserializing the credentials.
The attribute name is:
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types"
The following is an example of a user starting a server with the specified credentials class names:
Map env = new HashMap(1);
env.put (
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types",
new String[]{
String[].class.getName(),
String.class.getName()
JMXConnectorServer server
= JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(url, env, mbeanServer);
The new feature should be used by directly specifying:
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types"
JDK-8144430 (not public)
Disable MD5withRSA signature algorithm in the JSSE provider:
The MD5withRSA signature algorithm is now considered insecure and should no longer be used. Accordingly, MD5withRSA has been deactivated by default in the Oracle JSSE implementation by adding "MD5withRSA" to the "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property. Now, both TLS handshake messages and X.509 certificates signed with MD5withRSA algorithm are no longer acceptable by default. This change extends the previous MD5-based certificate restriction ("jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms") to also include handshake messages in TLS version 1.2. If required, this algorithm can be reactivated by removing "MD5withRSA" from the "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property.
JDK-8144773 (not public)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 66 (Oct 20, 2015)

Preloading libjsig.dylib causes deadlock when signal() is called:
Applications need to preload the libjsig library to enable signal chaining. Previously, on OS X, after libjsig.dylib was preloaded, any call from native code to signal() caused a deadlock. This has been corrected.
VM crash when class is redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses:
The JVM could crash when a class was redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses(). The crash could either be a segmentation fault at SystemDictionary::resolve_or_null, or an internal error with the message "tag mismatch with resolution error table". This has now been fixed .

Java Packager Tool Enhancements:
Command-line arguments can be passed to self-contained applications. Default arguments are defined when the package is created, which can be overridden by the user when the application is started. See Passing Arguments to a Self-Contained Application.
File associations can be set up when a self-contained application is installed so that the operating system automatically runs the application for registered file extensions or MIME types. See Associating Files with a Self-Contained Application.
The UserJvmOptionsService API is available for altering JVM options in self-contained applications. The new settings are used the next time the application is started. See Customizing JVM Options in Self-Contained Applications.
Multiple entry points are supported for self-contained applications, which enables a suite of products to be bundled into the same application package. See Supporting Multiple Entry Points.
Change in default values for G1HeapWastePercent and G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent:
The default value for G1HeapWastePercent was changed from 10 to 5 to reduce the need for full GCs. For the same reason the default value for G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent was changed from 65 to 85.
New Java class-access Filtering Interface:
The jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ClassFilter interface enables you to restrict access to specified Java classes from scripts run by a Nashorn script engine. See Restricting Script Access to Specified Java Classes in the Nashorn User's Guide and 8043717 (not public) for more information.
JavaFX Enhancements:
Starting with JDK 8u40 release, JavaFX controls are enhanced to support assistive technologies, meaning that JavaFX controls are now accessible. In addition, a public API is provided to allow developers to write their own accessible controls.
New JavaFX UI controls; a spinner control, formatted-text support, and a standard set of alert dialogs:
Spinner Control: A Spinner is a single line text field that lets the user select a number or an object value from an ordered sequence. See javafx.scene.control.Spinner class for more information.
Formatted Text: A new TextFormatter class provides text formatting capablity for subclasses of TextInputControl (for example, TextField and TextArea). See javafx.scene.control.TextFormatter class for more information.
Dialogs: The Dialog class allows applications to create their own custom dialogs. In addition, an an Alert class is also provided, that extends Dialog, and provides support for a number of pre-built dialog types that can be easily shown to users to prompt for a response. See javafx.scene.control.Dialog, javafx.scene.control.Alert, javafx.scene.control.TextInputDialog, javafx.scene.control.ChoiceDialog classes for more information.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 31 (Jan 21, 2015)

NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES:
SSLv3 is disabled by default:
Starting with JDK 8u31 release, the SSLv3 protocol (Secure Socket Layer) has been deactivated and is not available by default. See the java.security.Security property jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms in /lib/security/java.security file.
If SSLv3 is absolutely required, the protocol can be reactivated by removing "SSLv3" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property in the java.security file or by dynamically setting this Security property to "true" before JSSE is initialized.
It should be noted that SSLv3 is obsolete and should no longer be used.
Changes to Java Control Panel:
Starting with JDK 8u31 release, SSLv3 protocol is removed from Java Control Panel Advanced options. If the user needs to use SSLv3 for applications, re-enable it manually as follows.
Enable SSLv3 protocol on JRE level: as described in the previous section.
Enable SSLv3 protocol on deploy level: edit the deployment.properties file and add the following - deployment.security.SSLv3=true

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 20 (Aug 20, 2014)

NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES:
New flags added to Java Management API:
The flags MinHeapFreeRatio and MaxHeapFreeRatio have been made manageable. This means they can be changed at runtime using the management API in Java. Support for these flags have also been added to the ParallelGC as part of the adaptive size policy.
Java Installer Changes:
A new Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) Enterprise JRE Installer which enables user to install the JRE across the enterprise, is available. See Downloading the Installer section in JRE Installation for Microsoft Windows for more information. The MSI Enterprise JRE Installer is only available as part of Java SE Advanced or Java SE Suite. For information about these commercial products, see Java SE Advanced and Java SE Suite.
The following new configuration parameters are added to support commercial features, for use by Java SE Advanced or Java SE Suite licensees only.
USAGETRACKERCFG=
DEPLOYMENT_RULE_SET=
See Installing With a Configuration File for more information about these and other installer parameters.
The Java Uninstall Tool is integrated with the installer to provide an option to remove older versions of Java from the system. The change is applicable to 32 bit and 64 bit Windows platforms. See Uninstalling the JRE.
Java Control Panel Changes:
The Update tab in the Java Control Panel now enables the users to automatically update 64-bit JREs (in addition to 32-bit versions) that are installed on their system.
The Medium security level has been removed. Now only High and Very High levels are available.
Applets that do not conform with the latest security practices can still be authorized to run by including the sites that host them to the Exception Site List.
The exception site list provides users with the option of allowing the same applets that would have been allowed by selecting the Medium option but on a site-by-site basis therefore minimizing the risk of the using more permissive settings.
Java Compiler updated:
The javac compiler has been updated to implement definite assignment analysis for blank final field access using "this". See JDK 8 Compatibility Guide for more details.
Change in minimum required Java Version for Java Plugin and Java Webstart:
The minimum version of Java required for Java Plugin and Java Webstart is now Java 5. Applets that do not run in Java 5 or later must be ported to a later version of Java to continue to function. Applets written for earlier versions but able to run in at least Java 5 will continue to work.
Change in UsageTracker output formatting:
UsageTracker output formatting has been changed to use quoting, to avoid confusion in the log. This may require changes to the way such information is read. The feature can be configured to behave as in previous versions, although the new format is recommended.
Changes to Java Packaging Tools:
javafxpackager has been renamed to javapackager
The "-B" option has been added to the javapackager deploy command to enable you to pass arguments to the bundlers that are used to create self-contained applications. See javapackager (Windows)/(Unix) documentation for information
The helper parameter argument has been added to JavaFX Ant Task Reference. It enables you to specify an argument (in the element) for the bundler that is used to create self-contained applications.
BUG FIXES:
Area: security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5
Synopsis: sun.security.krb5.KdcComm interprets kdc_timeout as msec instead of sec
An interop issue is found between Java and native Kerberos implementation on BSD (including Apple OS X) regarding the kdc_timeout setting in krb5.conf, which Java interprets as milliseconds and BSD as seconds (when no unit is specified). This release adds support for the "s" (seconds) unit. Therefore if the timeout is 5 seconds, Java accepts both "5000" and "5s". Customers concerned about the interop between Java and BSD should use the later format.
Area: other-libs/corba
Synopsis: org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass loading no longer uses context class loader
The system property org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass is used to configure the system-wide/singleton ORB. The handling of this system property has changed in 7u55 release to require that the system wide/singleton ORB be visible to the system class loader.
In this release the handling of this system property has been changed to match the behavior found in JDK versions prior to 7u55 release, i.e. the singleton ORB is once again located using the thread context class loader of the first thread to call the no-argument ORB.init method. The change was made to support applications which have been designed to depend on this behavior. Note that this change is applicable to 8u20, 7u65, 6u85 and 5.0u75 releases. For JDK 9, the new behavior where the system wide/singleton ORB needs to be visible to the system class loader, will continue.
Area: core-libs/java.util.collections
Synopsis: Collection.sort defers now defers to List.sort
Previously Collection.sort copied the elements of the list to sort into an array, sorted that array, then updated list, in place, with those elements in the array, and the default method List.sort deferred to Collection.sort. This was a non-optimal arrangement.
From 8u20 release onwards Collection.sort defers to List.sort. This means, for example, existing code that calls Collection.sort with an instance of ArrayList will now use the optimal sort implemented by ArrayList.
Area: core-libs/java.net
Synopsis: Digest authentication interop issue
With older versions of Apache Tomcat, certain protocol parameters are expected to be surrounded by double quotes(""). This was the behavior in JDK 7, but was corrected in JDK 8 to be compatible with RFC2617. This caused digest authentication interoperability issues.
Setting the networking property http.auth.digest.quoteParameters to true restores the JDK 7 behavior for compatibility with the older versions of Tomcat.
Area: tools/javac
Synopsis: javac crashes when mixing lambdas and inner classes
Previously the following sample code was making the compiler fail with a NPE:
class LambdaExpressionWithNonExistentIdCrashesJavacTest {
void foo() {
bar(()-> {
new NonExistentClass(){
public void any() {}
void bar(Runnable r) {}
where the NonExistentClass was an existing but inaccessible class. Starting with JDK 8u20, javac produces an error message indicating correctly that symbol "NonExistentClass" can't be found.
Area: tools/javac
Synopsis: ElementType.TYPE_USE is introduced in JDK 8 and should be considered a logical superset of ElementType.TYPE and ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE. However, the javac command does not currently recognize ElementType.TYPE_USE as a superset.
Area: tools/javac
Synopsis: javac generates incorrect exception table for multi-catch statements inside a lambda
Handling of try-catch with multiple catches inside a lambda has been corrected.
Area: core-libs/java.lang.reflect
Synopsis: Default methods affect the result of Class.getMethod and Class.getMethods
Class.getMethod and Class.getMethods were not updated with the 8 release to match the new inheritance definition (both may return non-inherited superinterface methods). Starting with JDK 8u20, the implementation has been changed to match defintion. See JDK 8 Compatibility Guide for more details.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 11 (Jul 16, 2014)

NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES:
Java Dependency Analysis Tool (jdeps):
A new command-line tool, Java Dependency Analysis Tool (jdeps), is now available that can be used by developers to understand the static dependencies of their applications and libraries. It also provides an -jdkinternals option to find dependencies of any JDK internal APIs that are unsupported and private to JDK implementation.
New JAR file attribute - Entry-Point:
From this release, a new JAR file attribute, Entry-Point is available. The Entry-Point attribute is used to identify the classes that are allowed to be used as 'entry points' to the RIA. Identifying the entry points helps to prevent unauthorized code from being run when a JAR file has more than one class with a main() method, multiple Applet classes, or multiple JavaFX Application classes. Set this attribute to the fully qualified class name that can be used as the entry point for the RIA. To specify more than one class, separate the classes by a space, for example: Entry-Point: apps.test.TestUI apps.test.TestCLI
If the JAR manifest is signed and the main-class or applet-class entry point specified in the JNLP file or application descriptor differs from the class specified for the Entry-Point attribute, then the RIA is blocked. If the Entry-Point attribute is not present, any class with a main() method, or any Applet or JavaFX Application class in the JAR file can be used to start the RIA.
New JAXP processing limit property - maxElementDepth:
A new property, maxElementDepth, is added to provide applications the ability to set limit on maximum element depth in an xml file that they parse. This may be helpful for applications that may use too much resources when processing an xml file with excessive element depth.
BUG FIXES:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujul2014-1972956.html).

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 Update 5 (Apr 16, 2014)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8.0.0 (Mar 19, 2014)

Java Programming Language:
Lambda Expressions, a new language feature, has been introduced in this release. They enable you to treat functionality as a method argument, or code as data. Lambda expressions let you express instances of single-method interfaces (referred to as functional interfaces) more compactly.
Method references provide easy-to-read lambda expressions for methods that already have a name.
Default methods enable new functionality to be added to the interfaces of libraries and ensure binary compatibility with code written for older versions of those interfaces.
Repeating Annotations provide the ability to apply the same annotation type more than once to the same declaration or type use.
Type Annotations provide the ability to apply an annotation anywhere a type is used, not just on a declaration. Used with a pluggable type system, this feature enables improved type checking of your code.
Improved type inference.
Method parameter reflection.
Collections:
Classes in the new java.util.stream package provide a Stream API to support functional-style operations on streams of elements. The Stream API is integrated into the Collections API, which enables bulk operations on collections, such as sequential or parallel map-reduce transformations.
Performance Improvement for HashMaps with Key Collisions
Compact Profiles contain predefined subsets of the Java SE platform and enable applications that do not require the entire Platform to be deployed and run on small devices.
Security:
Client-side TLS 1.2 enabled by default
New variant of AccessController.doPrivileged that enables code to assert a subset of its privileges, without preventing the full traversal of the stack to check for other permissions
Stronger algorithms for password-based encryption
SSL/TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) Extension support in JSSE Server
Support for AEAD algorithms: The SunJCE provider is enhanced to support AES/GCM/NoPadding cipher implementation as well as GCM algorithm parameters. And the SunJSSE provider is enhanced to support AEAD mode based cipher suites. See Oracle Providers Documentation, JEP 115.
KeyStore enhancements, including the new Domain KeyStore type java.security.DomainLoadStoreParameter, and the new command option -importpassword for the keytool utility
SHA-224 Message Digests:
Enhanced Support for NSA Suite B Cryptography
Better Support for High Entropy Random Number Generation
New java.security.cert.PKIXRevocationChecker class for configuring revocation checking of X.509 certificates
64-bit PKCS11 for Windows
New rcache Types in Kerberos 5 Replay Caching
Support for Kerberos 5 Protocol Transition and Constrained Delegation
Kerberos 5 weak encryption types disabled by default
Unbound SASL for the GSS-API/Kerberos 5 mechanism
SASL service for multiple host names
JNI bridge to native JGSS on Mac OS X
Support for stronger strength ephemeral DH keys in the SunJSSE provider
Support for server-side cipher suites preference customization in JSSE
JavaFX:
The new Modena theme has been implemented in this release. For more information, see the blog at fxexperience.com.
The new SwingNode class enables developers to embed Swing content into JavaFX applications. See the SwingNode javadoc and Embedding Swing Content in JavaFX Applications.
The new UI Controls include the DatePicker and the TreeTableView controls.
The javafx.print package provides the public classes for the JavaFX Printing API. See the javadoc for more information.
The 3D Graphics features now include 3D shapes, camera, lights, subscene, material, picking, and antialiasing. The new Shape3D (Box, Cylinder, MeshView, and Sphere subclasses), SubScene, Material, PickResult, LightBase (AmbientLight and PointLight subclasses) , and SceneAntialiasing API classes have been added to the JavaFX 3D Graphics library. The Camera API class has also been updated in this release. See the corresponding class javadoc for javafx.scene.shape.Shape3D, javafx.scene.SubScene, javafx.scene.paint.Material, javafx.scene.input.PickResult, javafx.scene.SceneAntialiasing, and the Getting Started with JavaFX 3D Graphics document.
The WebView class provides new features and improvements. Review Supported Features of HTML5 for more information about additional HTML5 features including Web Sockets, Web Workers, and Web Fonts.
Enhanced text support including bi-directional text and complex text scripts such as Thai and Hindi in controls, and multi-line, multi-style text in text nodes.
Support for Hi-DPI displays has been added in this release.
The CSS Styleable* classes became public API. See the javafx.css javadoc for more information.
The new ScheduledService class allows to automatically restart the service.
JavaFX is now available for ARM platforms. JDK for ARM includes the base, graphics and controls components of JavaFX.
Tools:
The jjs command is provided to invoke the Nashorn engine.
The java command launches JavaFX applications.
The java man page has been reworked.
The jdeps command-line tool is provided for analyzing class files.
Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide remote access to diagnostic commands.
The jarsigner tool has an option for requesting a signed time stamp from a Time Stamping Authority (TSA).
Javac tool:
The -parameters option of the javac command can be used to store formal parameter names and enable the Reflection API to retrieve formal parameter names.
The type rules for equality operators in the Java Language Specification (JLS) Section 15.21 are now correctly enforced by the javac command.
The javac tool now has support for checking the content of javadoc comments for issues that could lead to various problems, such as invalid HTML or accessibility issues, in the files that are generated when javadoc is run. The feature is enabled by the new -Xdoclint option. For more details, see the output from running "javac -X". This feature is also available in the javadoc tool, and is enabled there by default.
The javac tool now provides the ability to generate native headers, as needed. This removes the need to run the javah tool as a separate step in the build pipeline. The feature is enabled in javac by using the new -h option, which is used to specify a directory in which the header files should be written. Header files will be generated for any class which has either native methods, or constant fields annotated with a new annotation of type java.lang.annotation.Native.
Javadoc tool:
The javadoc tool supports the new DocTree API that enables you to traverse Javadoc comments as abstract syntax trees.
The javadoc tool supports the new Javadoc Access API that enables you to invoke the Javadoc tool directly from a Java application, without executing a new process. See the javadoc what's new page for more information.
The javadoc tool now has support for checking the content of javadoc comments for issues that could lead to various problems, such as invalid HTML or accessibility issues, in the files that are generated when javadoc is run. The feature is enabled by default, and can also be controlled by the new -Xdoclint option. For more details, see the output from running "javadoc -X". This feature is also available in the javac tool, although it is not enabled by default there.
Internationalization:
Unicode Enhancements, including support for Unicode 6.2.0
Adoption of Unicode CLDR Data and the java.locale.providers System Property
New Calendar and Locale APIs
Ability to Install a Custom Resource Bundle as an Extension
Deployment:
For sandbox applets and Java Web Start applications, URLPermission is now used to allow connections back to the server from which they were started. SocketPermission is no longer granted.
The Permissions attribute is required in the JAR file manifest of the main JAR file at all security levels.
Date-Time Package:
a new set of packages that provide a comprehensive date-time model.
Scripting
Nashorn Javascript Engine
Pack200:
Pack200 Support for Constant Pool Entries and New Bytecodes Introduced by JSR 292

Classes and interfaces have been added to the java.util.concurrent package.
Methods have been added to the java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap class to support aggregate operations based on the newly added streams facility and lambda expressions.
Classes have been added to the java.util.concurrent.atomic package to support scalable updatable variables.
Methods have been added to the java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool class to support a common pool.
The java.util.concurrent.locks.StampedLock class has been added to provide a capability-based lock with three modes for controlling read/write access.
Java XML - JAXP
HotSpot:
Hardware intrinsics were added to use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The UseAES and UseAESIntrinsics flags are available to enable the hardware-based AES intrinsics for Intel hardware. The hardware must be 2010 or newer Westmere hardware. For example, to enable hardware AES, use the following flags:
XX:+UseAES -XX:+UseAESIntrinsics
To disable hardware AES use the following flags:

JAR is signed by a trusted CA, has the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry and JavaScript runs on the domain that matches it.
JAR is unsigned and JavaScript calls happens from the same domain as the JAR location.
The JavaScript to Java (LiveConnect) security dialog prompt is shown once per Applet classLoader instance.
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: If the JNLP file or HTML page is in a different location than the JAR file, the Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase attribute identifies the locations from which your RIA can be expected to be started.
If the attribute is not present or if the attribute and location do not match, then the location of the JNLP file or HTML page is displayed in the security prompt shown to the user.
Note that the RIA can still be started in any of the above cases.
Restore Security Prompts:
A new button is available in the Java Control Panel (JCP) to clear previously remembered trust decisions. A trust decision occurs when the user has selected the Do not show this again option in a security prompt. To show prompts that were previously hidden, click Restore Security Prompts. When asked to confirm the selection, click Restore All. The next time an application is started, the security prompt for that application is shown.
JAXP Changes:
Starting from JDK 7u45, the following new processing limits are added to the JAXP FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature.
totalEntitySizeLimit
maxGeneralEntitySizeLimit
maxParameterEntitySizeLimit
TimeZone.setDefault Change:
The java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone) method has been changed to throw a SecurityException if the method is called by any code with which the security manager's checkPermission call denies PropertyPermission("user.timezone", "write"). The new system property jdk.util.TimeZone.allowSetDefault (a boolean) is provided so that the compatible behavior can be enabled. The property will be evaluated only once when the java.util.TimeZone class is loaded and initialized.
Bug Fixes:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.
Known Issues:
Area: Deployment/PlugIn
Synopsis: JavaScript-> Java (LiveConnect) call fails silently if JavaScript/HTML and unsigned JAR/class files comes from different codebase host.
If the portion of the codebase that specifies the protocol, host, and port, are not the same for the unsigned JAR file (or class files) as for the JavaScript or HTML, the code will fail without a mixed code dialog warning.
You can work around this using one of the following approaches:
Put the JAR files (or class files) and the HTML/JavaScript on the same host.
Sign the JAR files. (Self signed can cause the LiveConnect dialog to show already; or add a manifest file that specifies the Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute.)
Use the Deployment Rule Set (DRS) to allow the app and HTML to run without a warning.
When specifying the codebase, using the Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute or the Deployment Rule Set, make sure to list the domain where the JavaScript/HTML is hosted.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: Using the family CLSID to trigger loading of an applet does not work with certain JRE family versions.
If you use the family CLSID to trigger loading of an applet with a certain JRE family version, the family CLISD will be ignored and the latest JRE version installed on your system is used to load the applet instead. Family CLSID is specific to Internet Explorer. The workaround is to use the java_version applet parameter or the version attribute of the Java element in JNLP file instead.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: Certificate-based DRS rule does not work when main JAR is in nested resource block
The certificate-based Deployment Rule Set rule does not work properly for JNLP applications when the main JNLP file has no JAR files, or all JAR files are in nested resource blocks nested in or elements.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: Caller-Allowable-Codebase may be ignored when used with Trusted-Library.
If a trusted, signed jar is using the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest attribute along with Trusted-Library then the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry will be ignored and, as a result, a JavaScript -> Java call will show the native LiveConnect warning. The workaround is to remove the Trusted-Library manifest entry.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: Applet could fail to load by throwing NPE if pack compression is used with deployment caching disabled.
If a JAR file is using pack compression with manifest entries Permissions and Caller-Allowable-Codebase while deployment caching is disabled, then:
The Permissions manifest entry will be ignored. (This can be seen from the fact that yellow warning is there on security dialog even though the Permissions attribute is there.) This only happens if Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute is present along with the Permissions attribute.
The Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute will cause the applet to fail to load by throwing a java.lang.NullPointerException.
If you want to use pack compression with the Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute, there are two possible workarounds:
Enable caching and all issues listed will disappear.
Do not use the pack property jnlp.packEnabled=true while deploying the applets using Caller-Allowable-Codebase and premissions property. Instead use the ContentType servlet for serving the pack files.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: Non-JNLP trusted applet fails to load using the file:\\ URL.
Local trusted applets that do not deploy using a JNLP file will fail to load by throwing a java.lang.NullPointerException. You can work around this issue by using one of the following methods:
Use a JNLP file to launch the applet.
Try loading the applet over HTTP or HTTPS.
Area: Deployment/Plugin
Synopsis: JNLP applet fails to load if using JNLP versioning.
Due to this bug, if you are using the jnlp.versionEnabled property for JAR versioning in your browser applet, your applet might not start. Also users might see a yellow warning about a missing Permissions attribute in the following two scenarios:
The jnlp.versionEnabled property is set to false inside the JNLP file and the version is defined against the main jar.
You use JNLPDownloadServlet for version download support.
The workaround is to either not use versioning via jnlp.versionEnabled, or to use the JNLPDownloadServlet servlet for version support instead.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 40 (Sep 11, 2013)

Java Mission Control (JMC) 5.2 Release Notes:
Java Mission Control (JMC) is a commercial feature available for java users with a commercial License.
JDK 7u40 includes the first release of Java Mission Control (JMC) that is bundled with the Hotspot JVM.
JavaFX Release Notes:
JavaFX is now part of JDK. JDK 7u40 release includes JavaFX version 2.2.40.
New Features and Changes:
Deployment Rule Set:
Deployment rule set allows a desktop administrator to control the level of Java client compatibility and default prompts across an organization.
Option to disable the "JRE out of date" warning:
Starting from 7u40, a new deployment property deployment.expiration.check.enabled is available. This property can be used to disable the "JRE out of date" warning.
When the installed JRE (7u10 or later), falls below the security baseline or passes it's built-in expiration date, an additional warning is shown to users to update their installed JRE to the latest version. For businesses that manage the update process centrally, users attempting to update their JRE individually, may cause problems.
To suppress this specific warning message, add the following entry in the deployment properties file:
deployment.expiration.check.enabled=false
New Security Warnings for Unsigned and Self-Signed Applications:
New warnings are added in the dialogs for Unsigned and Self-Signed applications.
From the dialogs for Unsigned and Self-Signed applets, "Remember this decision" option has been removed. In addition, the previously remembered decisions for self-signed and unsigned applets will be ignored.
Local Applets return NULL for DocumentBase:
Beginning with JDK 7u40, an applet's getDocumentBase() method will return NULL when the applet is running from the local file system.
If applet needs to load resource, here are the options:
If the resource is in the applet's JAR(s), the user should be able to load it with class ClassLoader getResoruceAsStream directly, without needing the codebase information.
If the resource is in an arbitrary location, which is not inside the applet's JAR(s), the user must have other ways to get to that location, since it is not part of the applet resource. For example, the user.home java system property, provided their applet has all-permissions.
JAXP Security Improvements:
JDK 7u40 release contains Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) 1.5, which adds the ability to restrict the set of network protocols that may be used to fetch external resources. For more information, see JEP 185: JAXP 1.5: Restrict Fetching of External Resources.
Default x.509 Certificates Have Longer Key Length
Starting from 7u40, the use of x.509 certificates with RSA keys less than 1024 bits in length is restricted. This restriction is applied via the Java Security property, jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms. The default value of jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms is now as follows:
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024
In order to avoid the compatibility issue, users who use X.509 certificates with RSA keys less than 1024 bits, are recommended to update their certificates with stronger keys. As a workaround, at their own risk, users can adjust the key size to permit smaller key sizes through the security property jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms.
Bug Fixes:
For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 7u40 Bug Fixes page.
The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in JDK 7u40.
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: Aborting the update after clicking "Update" on the "Java is insecure" warning message forwards all applets to java.com/download.
When an older JRE is installed on the system, launching a web page with an applet prompts the user with "Java is insecure" message. If the user clicks on the "Update" button on the message but later aborts the update process, user is automatically redirected to http://java.com/download page.
This is not the expected behavior. The issue is fixed in JDK 7u40 release.
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: Expired (but otherwise valid) certificate are not blocked at VeryHigh Security Level.
The issue is fixed in JDK 7u40 release.
Known Issues:
The following are some of the notable bug fixes in JDK 7u40 release:
JDK
Area: client/plugin
Synopsis: Locking behavior for JCP is not clear for OCSP/CRL (Adding deployment.security.validation.crl.locked property in config file does not reflect in JCP. )
Adding deployment.security.validation.crl.locked in config file does not seem to disable (gray out) Revocation Check property in Java Control Panel (JCP).
For example, a deployment property file c:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config file is created with the following content:
deployment.security.mixcode=DISABLE
deployment.security.mixcode.locked
deployment.security.validation.crl=true
deployment.security.validation.crl.locked
When the JCP is displayed, the mix code section will be disabled (all grayed out), but the certificate revocation section still active/changeable.
Workaround: The regression is only in display and the locking is working.
Area: hotspot/gc
Synopsis: New minimum young generation size is not properly checked by the JVM.
In JDK 7u40, the minimum size of the young generation for the parallel garbage collector was increased from 192 KB to 768 KB in a 32-bit JVM, and to 1536 KB in a 64-bit JVM. This new minimum size is not properly checked by the JVM. If a young generation size that is smaller than the new minimum is specified on the command line, it can result in either a crash or degraded performance.
The young generation size is set by the options -XX:NewSize= and -XX:MaxNewSize=, or by the option -Xmn (the latter option is equivalent to setting both NewSize and MaxNewSize to ). If the above options are not used, then the young generation size is computed as a fraction of the maximum heap size.
Workaround: Use a young generation size that is at least 768 KB (for 32-bit JVM) or 1536 KB (for 64-bit JVM).
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: Local applet could not be launched with Firefox 23
This is a Firefox bug and a fix will be provided in a future release. This regression is introduced due to a fix against issues related to same-origin policy under Firefox. For more details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902375.
Workaround: To work with Firefox 23, under Firefox preferences, set the property "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" to false.
JavaFX
Area: Graphics
Synopsis: The WebView component doesn't support HiDPI rendering.
Area: Graphics
Synopsis: The HiDPI support cannot be enabled inside a LoDPI browser.
Area: Graphics
Synopsis: Point and Spot lights of the Lighting effect are not affected by coordinate scaling.
The coordinates of the lighting sources are not adjusted for the coordinate transform of a node and are actually relative to its bounding box, which makes positioning the lights properly for an arbitrary node tricky.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 25 (Jun 19, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS AND CHANGES:
Certificate Revocation:
Before signed Java applets and Java Web Start applications are run, the signing certificate is checked to ensure that it has not been revoked. Advanced options in the Java Control Panel(JCP) can be set to manage the checking process. For more information on these options, see the Advanced section of the Java Control Panel documentation.
Under normal circumstances revocation checking will have a slight impact on startup performance for applets and web start applications. Enterprises with managed networks and without access to the Internet (resulting in no access to the revocation services provided by Certificate Authorities) will see a significant delay in startup times.
To avoid such delay, they may choose to disable on line revocation checking through the JCP. Note that disabling on line revocation checking should only be considered in managed environments as it decreases security protections.
New JAR Manifest File Attributes:
JDK 7u25 release introduces the permissions and codebase attributes in the JAR Manifest File. These attributes are used to verify that the application is requesting the correct permissions level and is accessed from the correct location.
Developers are advised to utilize at least the new permissions attribute, and if possible the codebase attribute as well. In future releases, applications that do not include these protections may be blocked or subjected to additional warning dialogs.
Best Practices for Applet & Web Start Deployment:
As a result of various security changes and improvements, the following best practices are recommended for Applet and Web Start deployment:
Sign all JAR files using a Public Key Code Signing Certificate.
In the application jar manifest file include the permissions keyword with the desired permissions level, and if possible the codebase attribute as well.
LiveConnect Blocked under Some Conditions:
LiveConnect calls from JavaScript to Java API are blocked when the Java Control Panel security slider is set to Very High level, or when the slider is at the default High level and the JRE has either expired or is below the security baseline.
New property for Secure Validation of XML:
To avoid potential security issues with XML signatures, a secure validation mode has been added whereby signatures that contain potentially hostile constructs are rejected and not processed.
For this purpose, the following new private property is added to the JDK: org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation
The property can be set by an application by calling the setProperty method of the javax.xml.crypto.dsig.dom.DOMValidateContext class with the name of the property above and a Boolean value.
When set to true, this property instructs the implementation to process XML signatures more securely. This will set limits on various XML signature constructs to avoid conditions such as denial of service attacks.
When not set, or set to false, the property instructs the implementation to process XML signatures according to the XML Signature specification without any special limits.
If a SecurityManager is enabled, the property is set to true by default.
Java API Documentation Updater Tool:
To address CVE-2013-1571, users hosting publicly facing Java API Documentation generated with javadoc 5u45, 6u45, 7u21 or earlier are strongly encouraged to re-create the Java API documentation using javadoc from 7u25 or above.
Alternatively, for convenience of users and for those who have further modified the generated documentation, Oracle provides the Java API Documentation Updater, a repair-in-place tool.
Source code is available with the download if you have a non-standard environment. The Java API Documentation Updater Tool is a separate download and not included in any JDK/JRE bundles. Please also see important information related to the javadoc tool in the Known Issues section.
Help for Security Dialogs:
A More Information link is added to the various security dialogs that may pop up prior to launching an applet or Java Web Start as a means for the user to get more information about the dialog.
Changes to Runtime.exec:
On the Windows platform, the decoding of command strings specified to java.lang.ProcessBuilder and the exec methods defined by java.lang.Runtime, has been made stricter since JDK 7u21. This may cause problems for applications that are using one or more of these methods with commands that contain spaces in the program name, or are invoking these methods with commands that are not quoted correctly. For more information see JDK 7u21 Release Notes.
In JDK 7u25, the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands can be used to relax the checking process and may be used as a workaround for some applications that are impacted by the stricter validation. The workaround is only effective for applications that are run without a security manager. To use this workaround, either the command line should be updated to include -Djdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands=true or the java application should set the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true.
Quoting and escaping commands on Windows platform is complicated. The following examples may be useful to developers if they are impacted by the stricter validation.
BUG FIXES:
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: In-consistent behavior with remote/local policy file with ALL permission.
Both signed and unsigned applets with local or remote policy files with ALL permissions were not behaving as expected.
The behavior was due to honoring JCP security levels.
Area: security-libs/java.security
Synopsis: Improve on checking order
The implementation of java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction, AccessControlContext) and AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessControlContext) have been modified to improve security.
Area: core-libs/java.util.logging
Synopsis: Remove the stack search for a resource bundle for Logger to use
The java.util.logging.Logger class no longer does stack walk search for a logger's resource bundle. The stack walk search was intended as a temporary measure to allow containers to transition to using the context class loader and was specified to be removed in a future release. It will use the thread context class loader (if not set, use the system class loader) to look up the resource bundle and, if not found, it will fall back to use the class loader of the caller class that creates the Logger instance (via the Logger.getLogger() and Logger.getAnonymousLogger() method with a given resource bundle name).

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 21 (Apr 17, 2013)

Blacklisted Jars and Certificates:
Oracle now manages a certificate and jar blacklist repository. This data is updated on client computers daily on the first execution of a Java applet or web start application.
Changes to Java Control Panel's Security Settings:
In this release, low and custom settings are removed from the Java Control Panel(JCP)'s Security Slider. Depending on the security level set in the Java Control Panel and the user's version of the JRE, self-signed or unsigned applications might not be allowed to run. The default setting of High permits all but local applets to run on a secure JRE. If the user is running an insecure JRE, only applications that are signed with a certificate issued by a recognized certificate authority are allowed to run.
Changes to Security Dialogs:
As of JDK 7u21, JavaScript code that calls code within a privileged applet is treated as mixed code and warning dialogs are raised if the signed JAR files are not tagged with the Trusted-Library attribute.
The JDK 7u21 release enables users to make more informed decisions before running Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) by prompting users for permissions before an RIA is run. These permission dialogs include information on the certificate used to sign the application, the location of the application, and the level of access that the application requests. For more information, see User Acceptance of RIAs.
Changes to RMI:
From this release, the RMI property java.rmi.server.useCodebaseOnly is set to true by default. In previous releases the default value was false. This change of default value may cause RMI-based applications to break unexpectedly. The typical symptom is a stack trace that contains a java.rmi.UnmarshalException containing a nested java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
Server JRE:
A new Server JRE package, with tools commonly required for server deployments but without the Java plug-in, auto-update or installer found in the regular JRE package, is available starting from this release. The Server JRE is specifically targeted for deploying Java in server environments and is available for 64-bit Solaris, Windows and Linux platforms. Some of the tools included in the initial release of the Server JRE package, may not be available in future versions of the Server JRE. Please check future release notes for tools availability if you use this package.
Changes to Runtime.exec:
On Windows platform, the decoding of command strings specified to Runtime.exec(String), Runtime.exec(String,String[]) and Runtime.exec(String,String[],File) methods, has been improved to follow the specification more closely. This may cause problems for applications that are using one or more of these methods with commands that contain spaces in the program name, or are invoking these methods with commands that are not quoted correctly.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 2 (Dec 13, 2011)

This update release contains functionality enhancements for Java applications:
New JVM (Java HotSpot Virtual Machine, version 22) that improves reliability and performance
Support for Oracle Solaris 11
Support for Firefox 5 and later
JavaFX is included with Java SE
For Java SE 7u2, the following system configurations have been certified:
Oracle Solaris 11
Firefox 5, 6, 7, and 8
Enhanced Security Through Old Release Warnings:
If users have a version of Java on their systems that is below the security baseline, a warning message is displayed before an application or an applet can be run.
In Java SE 7u2, demos and samples have been removed from the JDK installers and placed into separate bundles:
On Windows, demos and samples are available as .zip files.
This release introduces the following improvements for web-deployed applications:
Non-blocking installation of JRE and JavaFX using Deployment Toolkit: The web page continues to accept user input while Deployment Toolkit downloads and installs the required components.
Reduced footprint of signed JAR files: This release provides a new signing method that enables you to sign a JAR file as one large object instead of signing every JAR entry individually. This saves up to 10% of the total JAR size. Note: Users must run JRE 7 Update 2 or later to be able to use these JARs
Caching certificate details in the JNLP file for signed applications: For an application that uses security, a security dialog will present the cached certificates immediately for user approval while downloading the application in the background. An older JRE will ignore this functionality; it will present the certificate information after the application is downloaded.
Caching enabled by default: Caching of network content for application code running in Web Start mode is now enabled by default. This allows application improved performance and consistency with applet execution mode. To ensure the latest copy of content is used, the application can use URLConnection.setUseCaches(false) or request header Cache-Control values no-cache/no-store.
Embedded JNLP support for Web Start: The Deployment Toolkit can use a copy of a JNLP file embedded into a web page to launch an application. This helps to reduce number of network connections needed for the first start of a Web Start application from the browser
Ability to pass secure JVM arguments to the Web Start application from inside the web page using Deployment Toolkit: This helps to avoid JVM relaunch due to JVM configuration mismatch and also helps to pass dynamic parameters from the web page
Improvements for handling content with gzip encoding: The deployment cache will keep application content in compressed form and return it to the application as-is with gzip content-encoding in the HTTP header. This makes behavior more consistent across different execution modes (first launch versus subsequent launch, cache enabled versus cache disabled).
Improved support for JNLP applications: JavaFX applications are more cleanly uninstalled; see 7085171 and 7053087. Recognition of JNLP install hints is improved
Startup improvements: Startup has been improved for specific scenarios
New setting, Insecure JRE versions, in Java Control Panel: If users have a version of Java on their system that is below the security baseline, a warning message is displayed before an application or an applet can be run using that version.

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 1 (Oct 19, 2011)

New in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7.0 (Jul 29, 2011)

Swing Enhancements:
JLayer Class:
The JLayer class is a flexible and powerful decorator for Swing components. It enables you to draw on components and respond to component events without modifying the underlying component directly. For more information, read How to Decorate Components with JLayer in the Java Tutorial.
Nimbus Look & Feel:
The Nimbus Look & Feel (L&F) has moved from com.sun.java.swing to a standard API namespace, javax.swing; see the javax.swing.plaf.nimbus package for more information. Although it is not the default L&F, you can easily use it. Consult the Nimbus Look and Feel section in the Java Tutorial for more information and examples of three simple methods for using Nimbus in your applications.
Heavyweight and Lightweight Components:
Historically, mixing heavyweight (AWT) and lightweight (Swing) components in the same container has been problematic. However, mixing heavyweight and lightweight components is easy to accomplish in Java SE 7. The Mixing Heavyweight and Lightweight Components article shows you how.
Shaped and Translucent Windows:
The Java SE 7 release supports windows with transparency and non-rectangular shapes. See How to Create Translucent and Shaped Windows, part of the Java Tutorial.
Hue-Saturation-Luminance (HSL) Color Selection in JColorChooser Class:
An HSV tab has been added to the JColorChooser class, which allows users to select colors using the Hue-Saturation-Luminance (HSL) color model.
Enhancements in Java I/O:
The java.nio.file package and its related package, java.nio.file.attribute, provide comprehensive support for file I/O and for accessing the file system. A zip file system provider is also available in JDK 7. The following resources provide more information:
File I/O (featuring NIO 2.0) in the Java Tutorials; NIO stands for non-blocking I/O
Developing a Custom File System Provider
Zip File System Provider
The directory /sample/nio/chatserver/ contains samples that demonstrate the new APIs contained in the java.nio.file package
The directory /demo/nio/zipfs/ contains samples that demonstrate the NIO.2 NFS (Network File System) file system
Networking Enhancements:
The URLClassLoader.close method has been added. This method effectively eliminates the problem of how to support updated implementations of the classes and resources loaded from a particular codebase, and in particular from JAR files.
The Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) provides access to high performance network connections
Security Enhancements:
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC):
A new native provider has been added to the Java SE 7 release that provides several ECC-based algorithms (ECDSA/ECDH).
CertPath Algorithm Disabling:
Weak cryptographic algorithms can now be disabled. For example, the MD2 digest algorithm is no longer considered secure. The Java SE 7 release provides a mechanism for denying the use of specific algorithms in certification path processing and TLS handshaking.
JSSE (SSL/TLS):
TLS 1.1:
The SunJSSE provider now supports TLS 1.1 as described in RFC 4346. The most important update is protection against cipher block chaining (CBC) attacks.
TLS 1.2:
The SunJSSE provider now supports TLS 1.2 as described in RFC 5246. Among other things, it specifies different internal hashing algorithms, adds new cipher suites, and contains improved flexibility, particularly for negotiation of cryptographic algorithms.
Weak cipher suites deprecated:
Per RFC 4346, RFC 5246, and RFC 5469, some cipher suites have been made obsolete and should not be used. These obsolete suites are all disabled by default in SunJSSE. For details, consult the cipher suite lists in the documentation about the SunJSSE provider.
Connection-sensitive trust management:
Both trust managers and key managers now have the ability to examine parameters of the TLS connection, specifically the SSLSession under construction, during the handshake. For example, a trust manager might restrict the types of certificates used based on the list of valid signature algorithms.
Endpoint verification
An endpoint identification algorithm can be specified to verify that a remote computer's host address matches its supplied certificate. Although this type of verification was previously performed for the HTTPS protocol (see HttpsURLConnection and HostnameVerifier), such verification can now be optionally performed at the TLS level.
TLS renegotiation:
Java SE supports RFC 5746, which fixes a renegotiation issue in the TLS protocol.
SSLv2Hello disabled by default:
In Java SE 7, SSLv2Hello is removed from the default enabled protocol list.
Algorithm disabling:
Weak cryptographic algorithms can now be disabled, as previously described.
Server Name Indication (SNI) for JSSE client:
The Java SE 7 release supports the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension in the JSSE client. SNI is described in RFC 4366. This enables TLS clients to connect to virtual servers.
Tighter checking of EncryptedPreMasterSecret version numbers:
Java SE 7 tightens version number checking during TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 handshaking
Concurrency Utilities Enhancements:
The fork/join framework, which is based on the ForkJoinPool class, is an implementation of the Executor interface. It is designed to efficiently run a large number of tasks using a pool of worker threads. A work-stealing technique is used to keep all the worker threads busy, to take full advantage of multiple processors. See Fork/Join in The Java Tutorials. The directory /sample/forkjoin/ contains samples that demonstrate the fork/join framework.
The ThreadLocalRandom class eliminates contention among threads using pseudo-random numbers;
The Phaser class is a new synchronization barrier, similar to CyclicBarrier.
Client JRE Capabilities:
The window of a dragged applet can be decorated with a default or custom title; see Requesting and Customizing Applet Decoration in Draggable Applets.
The following enhancements have been made to the syntax of JNLP files:
The os attribute in the information and resources elements can now contain specific versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Applications can use the install attribute in the shortcut element to specify their their desire to be installed. Installed applications are not removed when the Java Web Start cache is cleared, but can be explicitly removed using the Java Control Panel.
Java Web Start applications can be deployed without specifying the codebase attribute; see Deploying Without Codebase
A JNLP file can be embedded into an HTML page; see Embedding JNLP File in Applet Tag.
You can check the status variable of the applet while it is loading to determine if the applet is ready to handle requests from JavaScript code;
You now have control of the window decoration style and title of an applet launched from a shortcut or dragged out of the browser;
Java 2D Enhancements:
XRender-Based Rendering Pipeline:
A new XRender-based Java 2D rendering pipeline is supported for modern X11-based desktops, offering improved graphics performance. The pipeline is disabled by default, but may be enabled by setting the command line property -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true. Older X11 configurations may not be able to support XRender. The verbose form, -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True, can be used to enable a message to stdout indicating whether the pipeline was actually enabled.
This flag is listed in the System Properties for Java 2D Technology page.
Support for OpenType/CFF Fonts:
The JDK now enumerates and displays installed OpenType/CFF fonts through methods such as GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames; these fonts are also recognized by the Font.createFont method. See Selecting a Font in The Java Tutorials.
TextLayout Support for Tibetan Script:
The TextLayout class supports Tibetan script.
Java Programming Language:
Binary Literals - In Java SE 7, the integral types (byte, short, int, and long) can also be expressed using the binary number system. To specify a binary literal, add the prefix 0b or 0B to the number.
Underscores in Numeric Literals - Any number of underscore characters (_) can appear anywhere between digits in a numerical literal. This feature enables you, for example, to separate groups of digits in numeric literals, which can improve the readability of your code.
Strings in switch Statements - You can use the String class in the expression of a switch statement.
Type Inference for Generic Instance Creation - You can replace the type arguments required to invoke the constructor of a generic class with an empty set of type parameters () as long as the compiler can infer the type arguments from the context. This pair of angle brackets is informally called the diamond.
Improved Compiler Warnings and Errors When Using Non-Reifiable Formal Parameters with Varargs Methods - The Java SE 7 complier generates a warning at the declaration site of a varargs method or constructor with a non-reifiable varargs formal parameter. Java SE 7 introduces the compiler option -Xlint:varargs and the annotations @SafeVarargs and @SuppressWarnings({"unchecked", "varargs"}) to supress these warnings.
The try-with-resources Statement - The try-with-resources statement is a try statement that declares one or more resources. A resource is an object that must be closed after the program is finished with it. The try-with-resources statement ensures that each resource is closed at the end of the statement. Any object that implements the new java.lang.AutoCloseable interface or the java.io.Closeable interface can be used as a resource. The classes java.io.InputStream, OutputStream, Reader, Writer, java.sql.Connection, Statement, and ResultSet have been retrofitted to implement the AutoCloseable interface and can all be used as resources in a try-with-resources statement.
Catching Multiple Exception Types and Rethrowing Exceptions with Improved Type Checking - A single catch block can handle more than one type of exception. In addition, the compiler performs more precise analysis of rethrown exceptions than earlier releases of Java SE. This enables you to specify more specific exception types in the throws clause of a method declaration.
Java Virtual Machine Technology:
The JDK provides one or more implementations of the Java virtual machine (VM):
On platforms typically used for client applications, the JDK comes with a VM implementation called the Java HotSpot Client VM (client VM). The client VM is tuned for reducing start-up time and memory footprint. It can be invoked by using the -client command-line option when launching an application.
On all platforms, the JDK comes with an implementation of the Java virtual machine called the Java HotSpot Server VM (server VM). The server VM is designed for maximum program execution speed. It can be invoked by using the -server command-line option when launching an application.
Some features of Java HotSpot technology, common to both VM implementations, are the following:
Adaptive compiler - Applications are launched using a standard interpreter, but the code is then analyzed as it runs to detect performance bottlenecks, or "hot spots". The Java HotSpot VMs compile those performance-critical portions of the code for a boost in performance, while avoiding unnecessary compilation of seldom-used code (most of the program). The Java HotSpot VMs also use the adaptive compiler to decide, on the fly, how best to optimize compiled code with techniques such as in-lining. The runtime analysis performed by the compiler allows it to eliminate guesswork in determining which optimizations will yield the largest performance benefit.
Rapid memory allocation and garbage collection - Java HotSpot technology provides for rapid memory allocation for objects, and it offers a choice of fast, efficient, state-of-the-art garbage collectors.
Thread synchronization - The Java programming language allows for use of multiple, concurrent paths of program execution (called "threads"). Java HotSpot technology provides a thread-handling capability that is designed to scale readily for use in large, shared-memory multiprocessor servers.
Tools:
Standard HotSpot VM Options - The command-line options supported by the Java HotSpot VMs are described on the reference pages for the Java application launcher.
Non-standard Java HotSpot VM Options - Non-standard options recognized by the current implementations of the VMs, but not necessarily by future or non-Sun implementations, are described on this web page.
Enhancements:
Java Virtual Machine Support for Non-Java Languages: Java SE 7 introduces a new JVM instruction that simplifies the implementation of dynamically typed programming languages on the JVM.
Garbage-First Collector is a server-style garbage collector that replaces the Concurrent Mark-Sweep Collector (CMS).
Java HotSpot Virtual Machine Performance Enhancements
JDBC:
The Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API provides universal data access from the Java programming language. Using the JDBC API, you can access virtually any data source, from relational databases to spreadsheets and flat files. JDBC technology also provides a common base on which tools and alternate interfaces can be built.
The JDBC API is comprised of two packages:
java.sql
javax.sql
You automatically get both packages when you download the Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) 7.
To use the JDBC API with a particular database management system, you need a JDBC technology-based driver to mediate between JDBC technology and the database. Depending on various factors, a driver might be written purely in the Java programming language or in a mixture of the Java programming language and Java Native Interface (JNI) native methods. To obtain a JDBC driver for a particular database management system, see JDBC Data Access API.
JDBC 4.1 introduces the following features:
The ability to use a try-with-resources statement to automatically close resources of type Connection, ResultSet, and Statement
RowSet 1.1: The introduction of the RowSetFactory interface and the RowSetProvider class, which enable you to create all types of row sets supported by your JDBC driver.

OlsonData 2010l:
Java SE 6u22 contains Olson time zone data version 2010l.
Root Certificates:
Added new Entrust Root CA-G2 and updated Entrust.net CA (2048) root certificates. (Refer to 6959911.)
CVE-2010-3560
The fix for CVE-2010-3560 could cause certain Java applets running in the new Java Plug-in to stop working if they are embedded in web pages which contain JavaScript that calls into Java in order to perform actions which require network security permissions. These applets may fail with a network security exception under some circumstances if the name service which resolved the original web page URL host name does not return a matching name as the result of a reverse address lookup. This is most likely to occur for the new Java Plug-in running on Solaris and Linux when configured to use NIS for host to network address resolution with maps containing host names which are in short form (rather than as a fully qualified domain name).
If an applet is suspected of failing due to this change you can verify that by setting the logging level of the Java Console to 5 and looking for logging strings beginning with "socket access restriction" which will describe the specific cause of the mismatch and will help in identifying the correct workaround to use as described below
Add a new host name forward map entry (in /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS) in a special form which is recognized by Java for the purpose of validating IPv4 and IPv6 name service mappings.
The IPv4 general name form followed by an /etc/hosts file fragment example for IP address 10.11.12.13 is:
host.auth.ddd.ccc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa
# /etc/hosts example
10.11.12.13 foo.bar.com.auth.13.12.11.10.in-addr.arpa
There is an equivalent form for IPv6 addresses which uses the IP6.ARPA domain root format defined in RFC 3596.
For DNS, these would be A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6) entries.
Pre-pend a fully qualified host name before other mappings to the same address.
For example, in /etc/hosts format:
#10.11.12.13 foo loghost
10.11.12.13 foo.bar.com foo loghost
As an alternative to updating name service records, it may be possible to safely modify the applet to perform the network action using only it's own permissions independent of the web page which contains it by using the doPrivileged() method of the java.security.AccessController class.
