Java 8 u73 &74 fixlet?

Usage and Config Patch
1

With Oracle releasing Java 8 u73/74 late last week, can we expect a fixlet ot would it be easier to modify an exiting one?

hmmm… release date of Java 8 update 72 was 1/19 and fixlets were released the next day 1/20. Maybe there are some complexities on this release. I’ll check…

Fixlets on JRE 8u73/8u74 are released to site Updates for Windows Applications, version 885.

A little Java Trivia for everyone …

Odd numbered/Even numbered Java 8 releases explained.

Java CPU and PSU Releases Explained.
In short:
· CPU = Critical Patch Update = Security update & critical fixes
· PSU = Patch Set Update = Regular updates / non-critical fixes

Note that 8u73 does not contain the PSU builds found in 8u72. Customers who require the additional bug fixes contained in 8u72 should update to 8u74 instead of 8u73.

Starting in October 2014 with the release of Java SE 7u71 (CPU) and Java SE 7u72 (PSU), Oracle plans to additionally release a corresponding PSU release along with each CPU release for Java SE 7. PSU releases provide organizations and developers with access to non-critical fixes in addition to the critical fixes contained in the corresponding CPU.
