RELEASE NOTES, BY COMPONENT:

hotspot/svc:

  JDK-8174881: Binary format for HPROF updated

      When dumping the heap in binary format, HPROF format 1.0.2 is always used now. Previously,
      format 1.0.1 was used for heaps smaller than 2GB. HPROF format 1.0.2 is also used by jhsdb
      jmap for the serviceability agent.

security-libs/java.security:

  JDK-8229518: Added Support for PKCS#1 v2.2 Algorithms Including RSASSA-PSS Signature

      The SunRsaSign and SunJCE providers have been enhanced with support for more algorithms
      defined in PKCS#1 v2.2, such as RSASSA-PSS signature and OAEP using FIPS 180-4 digest
      algorithms. New constructors and methods have been added to relevant JCA/JCE classes under the
      `java.security.spec` and `javax.crypto.spec` packages for supporting additional RSASSA-PSS
      parameters.

security-libs/javax.crypto:

  JDK-8205471: RSASSA-PSS Signature Support Added to SunMSCAPI

      The RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm support has been added to the SunMSCAPI provider.

security-libs/javax.security:

  JDK-8227564: Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted

      A security property named `jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms` has been added that can be used to
      disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism will be ignored if it is specified in the
      `mechanisms` argument of `Sasl.createSaslClient` or the `mechanism` argument of
      `Sasl.createSaslServer`. The default value for this security property is empty, which means
      that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box.

security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5:

  JDK-8254596: Support cross-realm MSSFU

      The support for the Kerberos MSSFU extensions [1] is now extended to cross-realm environments.
      
      By leveraging on the Kerberos cross-realm referrals enhancement, introduced in the context of
      JDK-8215032, the 'S4U2Self' and 'S4U2Proxy' extensions may be used to impersonate user and
      service principals located on different realms.
