Hi Ceki,<br>
<br>
<b>JDK 8u152 </b><b>Early Access <a
href="https://jdk8.java.net/download.html">b01</a> </b>is
available on java.net<br>
<p><b>JDK 9 Early Access</b> <a
href="https://jdk9.java.net/download/">b159</a> is available on
java.net, summary of changes are listed <a
href="http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html">here
</a>.</p>
There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source
projects since the last availability email :
<ul>
<li>b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working
for JAR URLConnection</li>
<li>b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of
supplementary-plane characters in text fields <br>
</li>
<li>b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with
layout for text containing unmappable character</li>
<li>b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws
UnsupportedOperationException: should not happen</li>
<li>b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class</li>
<li>b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference
to the thread context class loader</li>
</ul>
<p>The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54</a>
<br>
</p>
<p>If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants
FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current
directory using its base name will fail. Still the same solution:
Ensure that the path used in permission granting has the same
style as the one how you access the file. <br>
</p>
Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the
jdk-9+140 behavior. <br>
Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back
to the jdk8 behavior. <br>
