Ok, here's the actual Oracle release notes on it which is a far more
useful reference.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u66-relnotes-2692847.html

The most frustrating part of this is not understanding their crazy
version scheme. I get that the next release is 8u66, but it took far too
long to find that the patch file is b17 (patch-8u66-b17.xz) and now I
still don't know what JDK_BUILD_NUMBER is supposed to be incremented to
as that gets updated every time there's a new release.
