Release date: June 4, 2025

This PSU release is based on the Azul Zing Build of OpenJDK (Zing) 25.04.0.0 and corresponds to the following OpenJDK versions:

Major Version OpenJDK Version

1.8.0_452-b9

17

17.0.15+6-LTS

What’s New

  • Zing 25.05.0.0 implements an additional parameter to the Xlog command line option when you are using unified logging, savecount. You can use this parameter to preserve the starting logs during log rotation, for example:

    -Xlog:gc:gc.log::filecount=5,filesize=20M,savecount=1

    Note that this parameter only works with unified logging. If you have unified logging disabled, you can still achieve the same result using the command line option -XX:StartupGCLogSaveCount=<number of save counts>.

  • Zing 25.05.0.0 introduces two new command line options which modify the behavior of code cache flushing:

    • -XX:+EnableC1FlushingUnderEmergency - Enables C1 code cache flushing after the emergency threshold has been reached. This option is true by default.

    • -XX:+EnableTier2FlushingUnderEmergency - Enables Tier 2 code cache flushing after the emergency threshold has been reached. This option is true by default.

    These new options apply to both -XX:+UseEmergencyCodeCacheFlushing, which is default, and -XX:+UseIncrementalCodeCacheFlushing, which is non-default. When -XX:+UseIncrementalCodeCacheFlushing is enabled, the older flags EnableC1Flushing and EnableTier2Flushing control which code blobs are flushed as long as code cache is below the "high" threshold. The new flags control code caching behaviour after the "high" threshold is crossed.

  • The size of Zing installer and the installation on disc were reduced by removing files from the directory product/etc/connected-compiler/bin (lib).

  • April 2025 PSU release security fixes.
