I'd be cautious before installing 8U5.  While downloading,
I was reading the release notes for JDK 8U5, and saw the
new feature on the Jar manifest attribute.  The link to
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/security/manifest.html>
works, but one you start reading that page, it appears
to have been hacked/corrupted by someone, scrambling the
text.  For example:

"The Applicacation-Name aexte tmpts tbin tund. This attribute is used to
determine seconis listed in the Lh2>lot presentsed. If neither that is snt into
vide awhen the JAR file plicationcode> ain a different than the JNLP fileg
isHTML page that startscationcodf the JARfiles ais presin the e Apbuted,"

I'm going to wait a bit before updating, to see what (if anything)
happens.  I'm nervous lately about hacked websites.  (I wrote to
Oracle, but received no reply.)
