RELEASE NOTES:

security-libs/javax.net.ssl:

    JDK-8202343: Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1

      TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are versions of the TLS protocol that are no longer considered secure and have
      been superseded by more secure and modern versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3).
      
      These versions have now been disabled by default. If you encounter issues, you can, at your
      own risk, re-enable the versions by removing "TLSv1" and/or "TLSv1.1" from the
      `jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms` security property in the `java.security` configuration file.

security-libs/java.security:
