*Notable changes in JDK 11 EA builds since last email:*

  * Build 8:
      o If you have a library that uses the Selector API heavily then
        now would be a good time to test it out. [1]
  * Build 7
      o The VM option "-XX:+AggressiveOpts" is deprecated in JDK 11 and
        will be removed in a future release.
  * Build 6:
      o JDK-8193033 : remove terminally deprecated
        sun.misc.Unsafe.defineClass. Users should use the public
        replacement `java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass`
        which was added in Java SE 9. [2]
