Last Week:
-----------

   Shenandoah:

    - Fixed verifier bug in jdk8u. It was caused by nasty 
Atomic::add(jlong, jlong*), which only left unfixed in jdk8u.

    - Fixed several string dedup bugs:
      * Missing string dedup on write barrier fast path.
      * Missing reference update on piggyback reference update path in 
concurrent GC.
      * Fixed safepoint checking, which has to be shenandoah specific 
safepoint, where we suspend string dedup thread.

    - Looked into object iteration that passes limit, seems to be false 
alarm.

   Upstream:

    - Fixed: JDK-8187685 NMT: Tracking compiler memory usage of thread's 
resource area


Next Week:
-----------

   - Investigating potential another string dedup bug.

Thanks,
