openjdk-8 (8u312-b07-1) unstable; urgency=medium Upstream-provided “Notes on individual issues”: core-libs/java.net: JDK-8164200: Modified HttpURLConnection behavior w/o suitable proxy =================================================================== The behavior of HttpURLConnection when using a ProxySelector has been modified with this JDK release. HttpURLConnection used to fall back to a DIRECT connection attempt if the configured proxy(s) failed to make a connection. This release introduces a change whereby no DIRECT connection will be attempted in such a scenario. Instead, the HttpURLConnection.connect() method will fail and throw an IOException which occurred from the last proxy tested. security-libs/javax.net.ssl: JDK-8219551: Updated the Default Enabled Cipher Suites Preference ================================================================= The preference of the default enabled cipher suites has been changed. The compatibility impact should be minimal. If needed, applications can customize the enabled cipher suites and the preference. For more details, refer to the SunJSSE provider documentation and the JSSE Reference Guide documentation. -- Thorsten Glaser Fri, 05 Nov 2021 23:57:46 +0000 openjdk-8 (8u282-b08-2) unstable; urgency=medium Note about support for OpenJDK 8: - OpenJDK 8 was shipped with Debian 9 (“stretch”) and provided via jessie-backports for Debian 8; updates are shipped for both using the regular LTS and ELTS channels and policies, respectively. - Debian 10 (“buster”) and 11 (“bullseye”) ship with OpenJDK 11 supported. Therefore, OpenJDK 8 is not officially supported on these releases. - OpenJDK 8 is provided in Debian unstable (“sid”) but without any support whatsoever. It is intended to be used mainly to bootstrap certain JVM languages that don’t work with newer JDK. - In Ubuntu, OpenJDK 8 is nominally supported, but only for as long as 16.04 LTS (“xenial”) is still supported (regular support ended with April 2021, but ESM may still be available). - Please check with per-distribution, official, sources; this information is merely provided as heads-up note here and not guaranteed to be up-to-date. (This notice reflects the support info available to the packager at the time of writing.) -- Thorsten Glaser Thu, 25 Mar 2021 20:49:51 +0100
