"The named elliptic curve groups `x25519` and `x448` are now available 
for JSSE key agreement in TLS versions 1 to 1.3, ..."
---------
I may use "TLS version 1.0".


"**KNOWN ISSUE:** TLS_ECDH_* ciphersuites have been deprecated by the 
IETF [RFC 8422](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8422). The current JSSE 
APIs do not support selection of static server keys required by the 
TLS_ECDH_* ciphersuites. Therefore, ECDH_* ciphersuites using 
x25519/x448 keys are not supported on the server side for XDH 
(x25519/x448). "
---------
In the release note, there is a "Known Issues" category.  I may use the 
category for this known issue, by filing a new bug and a release-note 
sub-task with the "RN-KnownIssue" label.

The first two sentences might be arguable.  I may use a simple note, for 
example:

"**KNOWN ISSUE:** For TLS 1.2 and prior versions, the ECDH key exchange 
algorithms, for example ECDH_RSA and ECDH_ECDSA cipher suites, using 
static x25519/x448 keys are not supported on the server side."

Otherwise, looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Xuelei
