Hi Galder, <br>
<br>
Early Access build for JDK 8u60 <a
href="http://jdk8.java.net/download.html">b26</a> is available on
java.net, summary of changes are listed <a
href="http://download.java.net/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b26.html?q=download/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b26.html">here.</a><br>
As we enter the later phases of development for JDK 8u60, please log
any show stoppers as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Early Access build for JDK 9 <a
href="https://jdk9.java.net/download/">b75</a> is available on
java.net, summary of changes are listed <a

<br>
With respect to ongoing JDK 9 development, there are two new
Candidate JEPs I'd like to draw your attention to. <br>
<br>
Firstly, Mark Reinhold has put forward JEP 260: Encapsulate Most
Internal APIs to make most of the JDK's internal APIs inaccessible
by default but leave a few critical, widely-used internal APIs
accessible, until supported replacements exist for all or most of
their functionality. <br>
<br>
You can find the JEP here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260">http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260</a>
- and an introductory e-mail and discussion thread on the OpenJDK
jigsaw-dev mailing list, starting at <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-August/004433.html"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-August/004433.html">http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-August/004433.html</a></a>
. If you would like to provide additional feedback, please join the
jigsaw-dev mailing list, and contribute to the discussion there. <br>
<br>
Secondly, Mandy Chung has put forward JEP 259: Stack-Walking API to
define an efficient standard API for stack walking that allows easy
filtering of, and lazy access to, the information in stack traces.
You can find the JEP here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/259">http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/259</a>
. <br>
<br>
If you would like to provide feedback on JEP 259, please join the
OpenJDK core-libs-dev mailing list and contribute to the discussion
there.<br>
<br>
Finally, we are looking for feedback via a survey on Java Style
Guidelines Please see here for more details. <br>
