Hi all,

As many of you know, back in June, ZGC was integrated into the mainline
JDK development repository [1], and will be part of JDK 11.

A number of minor fixes and enhancements have gone in since the initial 
integration, some of them made the JDK 11 cut-off and the rest will be 
in JDK 12. These types of small fixes/enhancements are usually reviewed 
on hotspot-gc-dev and committed straight to the mainline repo. You can 
view the mainline repo as the place to find the latest stable version of 
ZGC.

The ZGC repository [2], and the zgc-dev mailing list, will continue to
be the place where we discuss and work on future/experimental/larger
features. For example, we expect the work we're doing on concurrent
class unloading to soon land in this repository, where it will be 
refined and tested until we feel it's ready for upstreaming into the 
mainline repo.

In summary:
* If you want the latest stable source, clone [1].
* If you want the bleeding edge source, clone [2].

[1] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk
[2] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/zgc/zgc/

cheers,
Per
