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

core-libs/java.net:

JDK-8164200: Modified HttpURLConnection behavior when no suitable proxy is found
================================================================================
The behavior of HttpURLConnection when using a ProxySelector has been
modified with this JDK release. HttpURLConnection used to fall back to
a DIRECT connection attempt if the configured proxy(s) failed to make
a connection. This release introduces a change whereby no DIRECT
connection will be attempted in such a scenario. Instead, the
HttpURLConnection.connect() method will fail and throw an IOException
which occurred from the last proxy tested.

security-libs/javax.net.ssl:

JDK-8219551: Updated the Default Enabled Cipher Suites Preference
=================================================================
The preference of the default enabled cipher suites has been
changed. The compatibility impact should be minimal. If needed,
applications can customize the enabled cipher suites and the
preference. For more details, refer to the SunJSSE provider
documentation and the JSSE Reference Guide documentation.
