Hi Jason/Tomaz, <br>
<br>
Early Access <a href="https://jdk8.java.net/download.html">b01</a>
for JDK 8u122 is available on java.net.<br>
<p>Early Access <a href="https://jdk9.java.net/download/">b138</a>
for JDK 9 is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed
<a
href="http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+138.html">here
</a>. <br>
</p>
<p>Early Access <a href="https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/">b138</a>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<font size="4">(#5561) </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/138/binaries/jdk-9+138.html">here
</a>. <br>
</p>
<p>There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source
projects since the last availability email : </p>
<ul>
<li> 8038348 - b137 - Instance field load is replaced by wrong
data Phi</li>
<li> 8041480 - b137 - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when JTable
contains certain string</li>
<li>8145542 - b137 - The case failed automatically and thrown
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception.</li>
<li>8151725 - b137 - [macosx] ArrayIndexOOB exception when
displaying Devanagari text in JEditorPane</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two proposals requesting feedback via mailing lists :</p>
- More proposals for open JPMS issues [1]<br>
<ul>
<li>One proposal to call out is #AwkwardStrongEncapsulation as
this proposes to change setAccessible(true) so that it can't be
used to break into non-public types/members in exported
packages. This is a non-issue when using setAccessible to get
access to non-public types/members of classes on the class path
but will be an issue for code that uses this method to break
into JDK-internals. We would appreciate as much help as possible
testing these builds. If InaccessibleObjectException is thrown
then examine the stack trace (run with
-Dsun.reflect.debugModuleAccessChecks=true to uncover failed
access attempts in code that shallows exceptions). If it looks
like a library is attempting to access a non-public method or
field of a platform class and make sure to <b>submit a bug in
the issue tracker for the library.</b> </li>
</ul>
- Proposal to Reorganize source classes in src.zip by modules [2] <br>
<ul>
<li>This proposal might have a compatibility impact on IDEs or
other tools that look in src.zip </li>
<li>Feedback via the jigsaw-dev mailing list <br>
</li>
</ul>
