Hi Jason/Tomaz,

JDK 9 Early Access build 170 is available at the new location : - jdk.java.net/9/

A summary of all the changes in this build are listed here.

Changes which were introduced since the last availability email that may be of interest :

b168 - JDK-8175814: Update default HttpClient protocol version and optional request version

related to JEP 110 : HTTP/2 Client.

b169 - JDK-8178380 : Module system implementation refresh (5/2017)

changes in command line options

b170 - JDK-8177153 : LambdaMetafactory has default constructorIncompatible change,

release note: JDK-8180035

New Proposal - Mark Reinhold has asked for comments on the jigsaw-dev mailing list [1]

Proposal: Allow illegal reflective access by default in JDK 9

In short, the existing "big kill switch" of the `--permit-illegal-access`
option [1] will become the default behavior of the JDK 9 run-time system,
though without as many warnings.  The current behavior of JDK 9, in which
illegal reflective-access operations from code on the class path are not
permitted, will become the default in a future release.  Nothing will
change at compile time.

Rgds,Rory
