The proposed 8.0.8 release is:
[ ] Broken - do not release
[ ] Alpha  - go ahead and release as 8.0.8 (alpha)
[x] Beta   - go ahead and release as 8.0.8 (beta)
[ ] Stable - go ahead and release as 8.0.8 (stable)

Tested on Win7 with JDK 7u55 32-bit.
Testsuite NIO,BIO,NIO2,APR - all tests passed successfully.

Testing examples webapp with security manager enabled I encountered
two issues when accessClassInPackage permission was denied. I filed
this into Bugzilla as #56545 [1].

There is a workaround for those issues. If I configure
"classesToInitialize" attribute on JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener as
I described in comment 4 of BZ 56545, both issues disappear.

Also I was not able to get any sense from the Comet chat example
(http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/chat/). The connection for
the /chat panel (the bottom panel in the frameset) that was supposed
to be opened for some time, closed nearly immediately. Thus chat
messages could be printed. The browser I was using is Firefox 29.0.1.
Connector: NIO.

I think this is not fatal and qualifies as beta.

Konstantin Kolinko
