RELEASE NOTES:

security-libs/java.security:

    JDK-8076190: Customizing PKCS12 keystore Generation

      New system and security properties have been added to enable users to customize the generation
      of PKCS #12 keystores. This includes algorithms and parameters for key protection, certificate
      protection, and MacData. The detailed explanation and possible values for these properties can
      be found in the "PKCS12 KeyStore properties" section of the `java.security` file.
      
      Also, support for the following SHA-2 based HmacPBE algorithms has been added to the SunJCE
      provider: HmacPBESHA224, HmacPBESHA256, HmacPBESHA384, HmacPBESHA512, HmacPBESHA512/224,
      HmacPBESHA512/256

core-libs/java.io:

    JDK-8285445: New System Property to Disable Windows Alternate Data Stream Support in java.io.File

      The Windows implementation of `java.io.File` allows access to NTFS Alternate Data Streams
      (ADS) by default. Such streams have a structure like “filename:streamname”. A system property
      `jdk.io.File.enableADS` has been added to control this behavior. To disable ADS support in
      `java.io.File`, the system property `jdk.io.File.enableADS` should be set to `false` (case
      ignored). Stricter path checking however prevents the use of special devices such as `NUL:`

    JDK-8194154: Restoring Previous `user.dir` Property Behaviour

      A change, JDK-8194154, was introduced in the 8u342 release of OpenJDK, causing the JDK to
      ignore attempts to set the `user.dir` property.  While this change is suitable for a major
      release (it was originally introduced in the initial release of OpenJDK 11), changing the
      behaviour of such a property in an update release creates compatibility issues in software
      that relies on the behaviour in prior versions of OpenJDK 8.  As a result, we have reverted
      this change in 8u345.
