RELEASE NOTES

security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5

Issue Description
JDK-8168518

rcache interop with krb5-1.15


The hash algorithm used in the Kerberos 5 replay cache file (rcache) is updated from MD5 to SHA256 with this change. This is also the algorithm used by MIT krb5-1.15. This change is interoperable with earlier releases of MIT krb5, which means Kerberos 5 acceptors from JDK 9 and MIT krb5-1.14 can share the same rcache file.

A new system property named jdk.krb5.rcache.useMD5 is introduced. If the system property is set to "true", JDK 9 will still use the MD5 hash algorithm in rcache. This is useful when both of the following conditions are true: 1) the system has a very coarse clock and has to depend on hash values in replay attack detection, and 2) interoperability with earlier versions of JDK for rcache files is required. The default value of this system property is "false".

Issue Description
JDK-8322750

AWT SystemTray API Is Not Supported on Most Linux Desktops


The java.awt.SystemTray API is used for notifications in a desktop taskbar and may include an icon representing an application. On Linux, the Gnome desktop's own icon support in the taskbar has not worked properly for several years due to a platform bug. This, in turn, has affected the JDK's API, which relies upon that.

Therefore, in accordance with the existing Java SE specification, java.awt.SystemTray.isSupported() will return false where ever the JDK determines the platform bug is likely to be present.

The impact of this is likely to be limited since applications always must check for that support anyway. Additionally, some distros have not supported the SystemTray for several years unless the end-user chooses to install non-bundled desktop extensions.
