Notes on individual issues:

===========================

core-libs/java.io:serialization:

JDK-8277157: Vector should throw ClassNotFoundException for a missing class of an element

=========================================================================================

`java.util.Vector` is updated to correctly report

`ClassNotFoundException that occurs during deserialization using

`java.io.ObjectInputStream.GetField.get(name, object)` when the class

of an element of the Vector is not found. Without this fix, a

`StreamCorruptedException` is thrown that does not provide information

about the missing class.

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8272535: Removed Google's GlobalSign Root Certificate

=========================================================

The following root certificate from Google has been removed from the

`cacerts` keystore:

Alias Name: globalsignr2ca [jdk]

Distinguished Name: CN=GlobalSign, O=GlobalSign, OU=GlobalSign Root CA - R2

core-libs/java.io:

JDK-8275343: file.encoding System Property Has an Incorrect Value on Windows

============================================================================

The initialization of the `file.encoding` system property on non macOS

platforms has been reverted to align with the behavior on or before

JDK 11.  This has been an issue especially on Windows where the system

and user's locales are not the same.

hotspot/gc:

JDK-8277533: ZGC: Fixed long Process Non-Strong References times

================================================================

A bug has been fixed that could cause long "Concurrent Process

Non-Strong References" times with ZGC. The bug blocked the GC from

making significant progress, and caused both latency and throughput

issues for the Java application.

The long times could be seen in the GC logs when running with `-Xlog:gc*` e.g.

[17606.140s][info][gc,phases ] GC(719) Concurrent Process Non-Strong References 25781.928ms

core-libs/java.time:

JDK-8274857:  Update Timezone Data to 2021c

===========================================

IANA Time Zone Database, on which JDK's Date/Time libraries are based,

has been updated to version 2021c

(https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2021-October/000067.html). Note

that with this update, some of the time zone rules prior to the year

1970 have been modified according to the changes which were introduced

with 2021b. For more detail, refer to the announcement of 2021b

(https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2021-September/000066.html)

through to 17.

NEW FEATURES

============

Language Features

=================

Switch Expressions

==================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/325

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/354

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/361

Extend the `switch` statement so that it can be used as either a

statement or an expression, and that both forms can use either a

"traditional" or "simplified" scoping and control flow behavior.  Both

forms can use either traditional `case ... :` labels (with fall

through) or new `case ... ->` labels (with no fall through), with a

further new statement for yielding a value from a `switch`

expression. These changes will simplify everyday coding, and also

prepare the way for the use of pattern matching in `switch`.

This was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in

OpenJDK 12 & 13 and became final in OpenJDK 14.

Text Blocks

===========

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/355

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/368

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/378

Add text blocks to the Java language. A text block is a multi-line

string literal that avoids the need for most escape sequences,

automatically formats the string in a predictable way, and gives the

developer control over format when desired.

This was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in

OpenJDK 13 & 14 and became final in OpenJDK 15.

Pattern Matching for instanceof

===============================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/305

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/375

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/394

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~briangoetz/amber/pattern-match.html

Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for the

`instanceof` operator. Pattern matching allows common logic in a

program, namely the conditional extraction of components from objects,

to be expressed more concisely and safely.

This was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in

OpenJDK 14 & 15 and became final in OpenJDK 16.

Records

=======

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/359

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/384

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/395

Enhance the Java programming language with records.  Records provide a

compact syntax for declaring classes which are transparent holders for

shallowly immutable data.

This was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in

OpenJDK 14 & 15 and became final in OpenJDK 16.

Sealed Classes

==============

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/360

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/397

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/409

https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~briangoetz/amber/datum.html

Enhance the Java programming language with sealed classes and

interfaces. Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes

or interfaces may extend or implement them.

This was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in

OpenJDK 15 & 16 and became final in OpenJDK 17.

Restore Always-Strict Floating-Point Semantics

==============================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/306

Make floating-point operations consistently strict, rather than have

both strict floating-point semantics (`strictfp`) and subtly different

default floating-point semantics. This will restore the original

floating-point semantics to the language and VM, matching the

semantics before the introduction of strict and default floating-point

modes in Java SE 1.2.

Pattern Matching for switch

===========================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/406

Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for

`switch` expressions and statements, along with extensions to the

language of patterns. Extending pattern matching to `switch` allows an

expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a

specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be

expressed concisely and safely.

This is a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in OpenJDK

17.

Library Features

================

JVM Constants API

=================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/334

Introduce an API to model nominal descriptions of key class-file and

run-time artifacts, in particular constants that are loadable from the

constant pool.

Reimplement the Legacy Socket API

=================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/353

Replace the underlying implementation used by the `java.net.Socket`

and `java.net.ServerSocket` APIs with a simpler and more modern

implementation that is easy to maintain and debug. The new

implementation will be easy to adapt to work with user-mode threads,

a.k.a. fibers, currently being explored in Project Loom

(https://openjdk.java.net/projects/loom).

JFR Event Streaming

===================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/349

Expose JDK Flight Recorder data for continuous monitoring.

Non-Volatile Mapped Byte Buffers

================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/352

Add new JDK-specific file mapping modes so that the `FileChannel` API

can be used to create `MappedByteBuffer` instances that refer to

non-volatile memory.

Helpful NullPointerExceptions

=============================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/358

Improve the usability of `NullPointerException`s generated by the JVM

by describing precisely which variable was `null`.

Foreign-Memory Access API

=========================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/370

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/383

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/393

Introduce an API to allow Java programs to safely and efficiently

access foreign memory outside of the Java heap.

This was a incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11) in

OpenJDK 14, 15 & 16, now superseded by the Foreign Function & Memory

API in OpenJDK 17 (see below).

Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA)

=================================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/339

Implement cryptographic signatures using the Edwards-Curve Digital

Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as described by RFC 8032

(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8032).

Hidden Classes

==============

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/371

Introduce hidden classes, which are classes that cannot be used

directly by the bytecode of other classes. Hidden classes are intended

for use by frameworks that generate classes at run time and use them

indirectly, via reflection. A hidden class may be defined as a member

of an access control nest (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/181), and may

be unloaded independently of other classes.

Reimplement the Legacy DatagramSocket API

=========================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/373

Replace the underlying implementations of the

`java.net.DatagramSocket` and `java.net.MulticastSocket` APIs with

simpler and more modern implementations that are easy to maintain and

debug. The new implementations will be easy to adapt to work with

virtual threads, currently being explored in Project Loom

(https://openjdk.java.net/projects/loom). This is a follow-on to JEP

353 (see above), which already reimplemented the legacy Socket API.

Vector API

==========

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/338

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/414

Provide an initial iteration of an incubator module,

`jdk.incubator.vector`, to express vector computations that reliably

compile at runtime to optimal vector hardware instructions on

supported CPU architectures and thus achieve superior performance to

equivalent scalar computations.

This is an incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11)

introduced in OpenJDK 16.

Unix-Domain Socket Channels

===========================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/380

Add Unix-domain (`AF_UNIX`) socket support to the socket channel and

server-socket channel APIs in the `java.nio.channels` package. Extend

the inherited channel mechanism to support Unix-domain socket channels

and server socket channels.

Foreign Linker API (Incubator)

==============================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/389

Introduce an API that offers statically-typed, pure-Java access to

native code. This API, together with the Foreign-Memory API (see

above), will considerably simplify the otherwise error-prone process

of binding to a native library.

This was an incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11)

introduced in OpenJDK 16, now superseded by the Foreign Function &

Memory API in OpenJDK 17 (see below).

Strongly Encapsulate JDK Internals by Default

=============================================

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/396

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/403
