<a
href="http://www.java.net/download/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+140.html">here
</a>. <br>
</p>
<p>A couple of items to point out with regard to b140:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A fix for Cyclic interface initialization causes JVM crash is
included in b140</li>
<li>We are requesting feedback on a change that went into JDK 9
b140<br>
</li>
</ol>
<blockquote> The java.io.FilePermission class was changed to remove
pathname canonicalization from its creation,<br>
along with a system property to revert the behavior back to way
it worked in the previous JDK release. <br>
We do this mainly for performance enhancement so that there is no
need to consult the file system every <br>
time a FilePermisson is created. If you use a security manager and
file permissions then you should read <br>
the details as described on the jdk9 mailing list [1]<br>
<br>
Feedback is requested via <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net">core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net</a>
