Hi Ceki,

*JDK 8u152 **Early Access b01 <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html> *is 
available on java.net

*JDK 9 Early Access* b159 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>  is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html>.

There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source 
projects since the last availability email  :

  * b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working for JAR
    URLConnection
  * b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of supplementary-plane
    characters in text fields
  * b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with layout
    for text containing unmappable character
  * b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws UnsupportedOperationException:
    should not happen
  * b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class
  * b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference to the
    thread context class loader

The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54

If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants 
FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current directory 
using its base name will fail.  Still the same solution: Ensure that the 
path used in permission granting has the same style as the one how you 
access the file.

Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the 
jdk-9+140 behavior.
Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back to 
the jdk8 behavior.
Feedback is welcome on jdk9-dev at openjdk.java.net
