Hi David & Richard,

• Per the JDK 13 schedule [1], we are now in Rampdown Phase Two.
• For more details , see Mark Reinhold's email to jdk-dev mailing list [2] 
• The overall feature set is frozen, no further JEPs will be targeted to this release.
• Per the JDK Release Process [3] we now turn our focus to P1 and P2 bugs.

• I want to draw your attention to some noteable changes in previous builds of JDK 13. These changes  are important for those that develop/maintain their own socket implementation (java.net.SocketImpl) or use the setSocketImplFactory or setSocketFactory APIs to change the system-wide socket implementation:
