What is current OpenJDK 8 stable release?

[Martijn Verburg]

Ah, I hadn't seen this thread earlier, but it ties into a question we had
as well.

"Is there anyway of automatically telling from Mercurial that a particular
update release is the one that's available for GA?"

For example jdk1.8.0_131-b01 (an earlier cut) vs  jdk1.8.0_131-b11 (GA)

Cheers,
Martijn
