Notes on individual issues:
===========================
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.
