    Release note additions since last email

      o
        Build 31 - can_pop_frame and can_force_early_return capabilities
        are disabled if JVMCI compiler is used (JDK-8218025
        <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218025>) The JVMTI
        |can_pop_frame| and |can_force_early_return| capabilities are
        disabled if a JVMCI compiler (like Graal) is used. As a result
        the corresponding functionality (|PopFrame| and
        |ForceEarlyReturnXXX| functions) is not available to JVMTI
        agents. This issue is being fixed via JDK-8218885
