JMH 1.17

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Hi,

JMH 1.17 is released and available at Maven Central.

Summary of changes:

 *) "safepoints" profiler that is able to trace how much the application
was stopped for GC, biased locking ops, and other cases. Works on JDK 7,
8, 9; but extensively tested only on 9, which uses Unified Logging to
report the data. Includes total pause time and time-to-safepoint
measures. Tracking:
   https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/CODETOOLS-7901839

 *) JDK 6 support had been dropped [1]. The codebase was automatically
and manually modernized to JDK 7, and other bugfixes, cleanups, touchups
done. This may cause slight behavioral changes, be aware.

Thanks,
-Aleksey
