    JDK-8154127: Fixed memory leak when Java objects are passed into JavaScript

      The bug fix for JDK-8089861, which was first integrated in JDK 8u102, fixes a memory leak when
      Java objects are passed into JavaScript. Prior to JDK 8u102, the WebView JavaScript runtime
      held a strong reference to such bound objects, which prevented them from being garbage
      collected. After the fix for JDK-8089861, the WebView JavaScript runtime uses weak references
      to refer to bound Java objects. The specification was updated to make it clear that this is
      the intended behavior.
      
      Applications which rely on the previously unspecified behavior might be affected by the
      updated behavior if the application does not hold a strong reference to an object passed to
      JavaScript. In such case, the Java object might be garbage collected prematurely. The solution
      is to modify the application to hold a strong reference in Java code for objects that should
      remain live after being passed into JavaScript.

    JDK-8169589: Introduced a new window ordering model

      On the OS X platform, the AWT framework used native services to implement a parent-child
      relationship for windows. That caused some negative visual effects especially in multi-monitor
      environments. To get rid of disadvantages of such an approach, the new window ordering model,
      which is fully implemented at JDK layer, was introduced. Its main principles are listed below:
      - A window should be placed above its nearest parent window.  - If a window has several child
      windows, all child windows should be located at the same layer and the window from the active
      window chain should be ordered above its siblings.  - Ordering should not be performed for a
      window that is in an iconified state or when the transition to iconified state is in progress.
      
      These rules are applied to every frame or dialog from the window hierarchy which contains the
      currently focused window.

    JDK-8166591: Trackpad scrolling of text on OS X 10.12 Sierra is very fast

      The `MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation()` method returned rounded native `NSEvent deltaX/Y`
      events on Mac OS X.  The latest macOS Sierra 10.12 produces very small `NSEvent deltaX/Y`
      values so rounding and summing them leads to the huge value returned from the
      `MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation()`.  The JDK-8166591 fix accumulates `NSEvent deltaX/Y` and
      the `MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation()` method returns non-zero values only when the
      accumulated value exceeds a threshold and zero value.  This is compliant with the
      `MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation()` specification:
      
      <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/event/MouseWheelEvent.html#getWheelRotation-->
      
      >Returns the number of "clicks" the mouse wheel was rotated, as an integer. A partial rotation
      may occur if the mouse supports a high-resolution wheel. In this case, the method returns zero
      until a full "click" has been accumulated. 
      
      For the precise wheel rotation values, use the `MouseWheelEvent.getPreciseWheelRotation()`
      method instead.

security-libs/java.security:

    JDK-8098581: SunPKCS11 Provider no longer offering SecureRandom by default

      SecureRandom.PKCS11 from the SunPKCS11 Provider is disabled by default on Solaris because the
      native PKCS11 implementation has poor performance and is not recommended. If your application
      requires SecureRandom.PKCS11, you can re-enable it by removing "SecureRandom" from the
      disabledMechanisms list in conf/security/sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg
      
      Performance improvements have also been made in the java.security.SecureRandom class.
      Improvements in the JDK implementation has allowed for synchronization to be removed from the
      java.security.SecureRandom.nextBytes(byte[] bytes) method.
