One of the changes is "standard support for JEP 409: Sealed Classes", so 
to understand the extent of that support, I went to the JDK 17 javadoc 
and used the new-in-17 top level page called "NEW":

https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk17/docs/api/new-list.html

It's very easy to skim the "Added in 17" sub-tabs to discover things 
like `javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement.getPermittedSubclasses()` 
which I would not have found simply by searching for "sealed" in the web 
page.
