Upstream changes in 8.0u66: New Features and Changes The following are some of the notable new features and changes in this release: Support ISO 4217 "Current funds codes" table (A.2) This enhancement adds support for ISO 4217 table A.2 fund codes. Previously the JDK only supported those currencies listed in table A.1. See JDK-8074350. Bug Fixes This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 8u66 Bug Fixes page. The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release: Hotspot should use PICL interface to get cacheline size on SPARC The libpicl library is now required on Solaris/SPARC to determine the size of the cache lines. In case the library is not present or the PICL service is not available the JVM will display a warning and compiler optimizations that utilize the BIS (Block Initializing Store) instruction will be turned off. See JDK-8056124. Preloading libjsig.dylib causes deadlock when signal() is called Applications need to preload the libjsig library to enable signal chaining. Previously, on OS X, after libjsig.dylib was preloaded, any call from native code to signal() caused a deadlock. This has been corrected. See JDK-8072147. VM crash when class is redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses The JVM could crash when a class was redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses(). The crash could either be a segmentation fault at SystemDictionary::resolve_or_null, or an internal error with the message "tag mismatch with resolution error table". This has now been fixed . See JDK-8076110. Upstream changes in 8.0u65: Bug Fixes This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 8u65 Bug Fixes page. The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release: Use Safe Prime Diffie-Hellman Groups In the JDK SSL/TLS implementation (SunJSSE provider), safe prime Diffie-Hellman groups are used by default. Users can customize Diffie-Hellman groups with the security property, "jdk.tls.server.defaultDHEParameters". [macosx] JRE AU client installed fails update to NEXTVER on Mac 10.11 A new installer is introduced in the 8u65 release to update OS X users to the latest version. The installer will apply to both scheduled and manual updates, and bundles made available on java.com and OTN. Users who experience compatibility issues with the new installer can manually download and install the ".pkg" installer available on My Oracle Support. Known Issues [macosx] Sponsor offer screen accessibility (a11y) issues Users who operate the keyboard to access user interfaces in the Java installer will be unable to access hyperlinks and checkboxes in software add-on offer screens. As a workaround to setting preferences related to add-on software in the user interface, users can disable such offers either by disabling them in the Java Control Panel, or by passing 'SPONSORS=0' via the command line.
