<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<font size="4">5506</font>) </font>for JDK 9 with Project
Jigsaw is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed <a
href="http://www.java.net/download/java/jigsaw/archive/136/binaries/jdk-9+136.html">here
</a>.<br>
<br>
There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source
projects since the last availability email :<br>
<ul>
<li> 8165723 - b136 - core-libs JarFile::isMultiRelease() method
returns false when it should return true</li>
<li> 8165116 - b136 - xml redirect function is not allowed even
with enableExtensionFunctions</li>
</ul>
NOTE:- Build 135 included a fix for <span
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">JDK-8161016</span> which <b>has
introduced a behavioral change to HttpURLConnection, more info:</b>
<br>
<br>
The behavior of HttpURLConnection when using a ProxySelector has
been modified with this JDK release. Currently,
HttpURLConnection.connect() call would fallback to a DIRECT
connection attempt if the configured proxy/proxies failed to make a
connection. This release introduces a change whereby no DIRECT
connection will be attempted in such a scenario. Instead, the
HttpURLConnection.connect() method will fail and throw an
IOException which occurred from the last proxy tested. This behavior
now matches with the HTTP connections made by popular web browsers.
But this change will bring compatibility issues for the applications
expecting a DIRECT connection when a proxy server is down or when
wrong proxies are provided. <br>

JDK 9 Outreach Survey</b><br>
<br>
In order to encourage and receive additional feedback from
developers testing their applications with JDK 9, <br>
the OpenJDK Quality Outreach effort has put together a very brief
survey about your experiences with JDK 9 so far. <br>
<br>
It is available at<b> </b><b><a
href="https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/JDK9EA">https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/JDK9EA</a></b><br>
