[8u-communication] JDK 8u112 is now available!

[Rob McKenna]

JDK 8u112 was released [0] on October 18. Thanks to all those who have contributed towards it.

OpenJDK 8u112 source code is available from the jdk8u master forest via use of the 'jdk8u112-b16' mercurial tag. I plan to update the OpenJDK 8u project page with latest status.

If you're packaging this release, it could be useful to let subscribed members know about it via communication on this mailing list. Please continue to contribute fixes back to the jdk8u-dev forest [1] which is already gathering changes for the next release. 

Note that 8u122 has now entered rampdown phase 2 and early access binaries from Oracle are available for testing. [2]

Thanks,

      -Rob
