Notes on individual issues:
===========================

core-libs/java.nio.charsets:

JDK-8240196: Modified the MS950 charset Encoder's Conversion Table
==================================================================
In this release, some of the one-way byte-to-char mappings have been
aligned with the preferred mappings provided by the Unicode Consortium
(https://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WindowsBestFit/bestfit950.txt).

core-libs/java.util:i18n:

JDK-8238914: Localized Time Zone Name Inconsistency Between English and Other Locales
=====================================================================================
English time zone names provided by the CLDR locale provider are now
correctly synthesized following the CLDR spec, rather than substituted
from the COMPAT provider. For example, SHORT style names are no longer
synthesized abbreviations of LONG style names, but instead produce GMT
offset formats.

core-svc/java.lang.management:

JDK-8236876: OperatingSystemMXBean Methods Inside a Container Return Container Specific Data
============================================================================================
When executing in a container, or other virtualized operating
environment, the following `OperatingSystemMXBean` methods in this
release return container specific information, if
available. Otherwise, they return host specific data:

* getFreePhysicalMemorySize()
* getTotalPhysicalMemorySize()
* getFreeSwapSpaceSize()
* getTotalSwapSpaceSize()
* getSystemCpuLoad()

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8250756: Added Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4 certificate
========================================================================
The Entrust root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:

JDK-8236730: Weak Named Curves in TLS, CertPath, and Signed JAR Disabled by Default
===================================================================================
Weak named curves are disabled by default by adding them to the following `disabledAlgorithms` security properties:

* jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
* jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms
* jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms

The disabled curves are as follows:

* secp112r1
* secp112r2
* secp128r1
* secp128r2
* secp160k1
* secp160r1
* secp160r2
* secp192k1
* secp192r1
* secp224k1
* secp224r1
* secp256k1
* sect113r1
* sect113r2
* sect131r1
* sect131r2
* sect163k1
* sect163r1
* sect163r2
* sect193r1
* sect193r2
* sect233k1
* sect233r1
* sect239k1
* sect283k1
* sect283r1
* sect409k1
* sect409r1
* sect571k1
* sect571r1
* X9.62 c2tnb191v1
* X9.62 c2tnb191v2,
* X9.62 c2tnb191v3
* X9.62 c2tnb239v1
* X9.62 c2tnb239v2
* X9.62 c2tnb239v3
* X9.62 c2tnb359v1
* X9.62 c2tnb431r1
* X9.62 prime192v2
* X9.62 prime192v3
* X9.62 prime239v1
* X9.62 prime239v2
* X9.62 prime239v3
* brainpoolP256r1
* brainpoolP320r1
* brainpoolP384r1
* brainpoolP512r1

The curves that remain enabled are:

* secp256r1
* secp384r1
* secp521r1
* X25519
* X448

When large numbers of weak named curves need to be disabled, adding
individual named curves to each `disabledAlgorithms` property would be
overwhelming. To relieve this, a new security property,
`jdk.disabled.namedCurves`, is implemented that can list the named
curves common to all of the `disabledAlgorithms` properties. To use
the new property in the `disabledAlgorithms` properties, precede the
full property name with the keyword `include`.  Users can still add
individual named curves to `disabledAlgorithms` properties separate
from this new property.  No other properties can be included in the
`disabledAlgorithms` properties.

To restore the named curves, remove the `include
jdk.disabled.namedCurves` either from specific or from all
`disabledAlgorithms` security properties. To restore one or more
curves, remove the specific named curve(s) from the
`jdk.disabled.namedCurves` property.

JDK-8244286: Tools Warn If Weak Algorithms Are Used Before Restricting Them
===========================================================================
The `keytool` and `jarsigner` tools have been updated to warn users
about weak cryptographic algorithms being used before they are
disabled. In this release, the tools issue warnings for the SHA-1 hash
algorithm and 1024-bit RSA/DSA keys.

JDK-8242147: New System Properties to Configure the TLS Signature Schemes
=========================================================================
Two new system properties have been added to customize the TLS
signature schemes in JDK. `jdk.tls.client.SignatureSchemes` has been
added for the TLS client side, and `jdk.tls.server.SignatureSchemes`
has been added for the server side.

Each system property contains a comma-separated list of supported
signature scheme names specifying the signature schemes that could be
used for the TLS connections.

The names are described in the "Signature Schemes" section of the
*Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification*.

JDK-8242059: Support for canonicalize in krb5.conf
==================================================

The 'canonicalize' flag in the [krb5.conf file][0] is now supported by
the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to *true*, RFC 6806 [1] name
canonicalization is requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC
services (AS protocol). Otherwise, and by default, it is not
requested.

The new default behavior is different from previous releases where
name canonicalization was always requested by clients in TGT requests
to KDC services (provided that support for RFC 6806[1] was not
explicitly disabled with the *sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals*
system or security properties).
