Red Hat build of OpenJDK new features and enhancements
Review the following release notes to understand new features and feature enhancements that Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8.0.402 provides:
Kerberos configuration support for yes and no boolean values
In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8.0.402, when using Kerberos configuration settings that require a boolean value, the krb5.conf file also accepts yes and no values as alternatives to true and false.
See JDK-8029995 (JDK Bug System).
Increased default value of jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize system property
Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8.0.382 introduced a jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize system property for configuring the maximum number of bytes that are allowed for the signature-related files in a Java archive (JAR) file (JDK-8300596). By default, the jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize property was set to 8000000 bytes (8 MB), which was too small for some JAR files, such as the Mend (formerly WhiteSource) Unified Agent JAR file.
Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8.0.402 increases the default value of the jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize property to 16000000 bytes (16 MB).
See JDK-8312489 (JDK Bug System)
