JDK-8174881: Binary format for HPROF updated 
d92b92
============================================
d92b92
d92b92
When dumping the heap in binary format, HPROF format 1.0.2 is always
d92b92
used now. Previously, format 1.0.1 was used for heaps smaller than
d92b92
2GB. HPROF format 1.0.2 is also used by jhsdb jmap for the
d92b92
serviceability agent.

JDK-8229518: Added Support for PKCS#1 v2.2 Algorithms Including RSASSA-PSS Signature
d92b92
====================================================================================
d92b92
d92b92
The SunRsaSign and SunJCE providers have been enhanced with support
d92b92
for more algorithms defined in PKCS#1 v2.2, such as RSASSA-PSS
d92b92
signature and OAEP using FIPS 180-4 digest algorithms. New
d92b92
constructors and methods have been added to relevant JCA/JCE classes
d92b92
under the `java.security.spec` and `javax.crypto.spec` packages for
d92b92
supporting additional RSASSA-PSS parameters.

JDK-8227564: Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted
d92b92
===================================================
d92b92
d92b92
A security property named `jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms` has been added
d92b92
that can be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism
d92b92
will be ignored if it is specified in the `mechanisms` argument of
d92b92
`Sasl.createSaslClient` or the `mechanism` argument of
d92b92
`Sasl.createSaslServer`. The default value for this security property
d92b92
is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box.
