(*) Azul provides two types of distribution packages for each Java version:

• SA distributions are tested, certified, and commercially supported Azul Zulu builds of
OpenJDK. Azul ensures that the software that uses the Accessible APIs of the

1
 What’s New

product doesn’t have to include specific licenses and that such use doesn’t
contaminate the code or intellectual property of such software with any license
requirements.

• CA are Azul Zulu builds of OpenJDK that are free to download and use.

Both SA and CA distributions may contain Early Access builds noted with
NOTE
-ea- in their filename. Early Access builds may not be TCK certified.

(**) Update type:

• CPU (Critical Patch Updates) contain fixes to security vulnerabilities and critical bug
fixes. Azul Zulu CPU releases are generally based on prior-cycle PSU releases, with
only security fixes applied. They provide a low-risk vehicle for the potentially urgent
deployment of security fixes when issues of sufficient severity arise. CPU releases
are available in SA distributions.

• PSU (Patch Set Updates) incorporates all fixes in the corresponding CPU, as well as
additional non-security bug fixes. Azul Zulu PSU releases incorporate both security
fixes and other changes that align the release contents with the associated OpenJDK
project quarterly release. PSU releases are available in SA and CA distributions.

The new respun bundles have the same Azul Zulu versions but are
distinguishable by _1 appended to the Azul Zulu version in the package
file name.
NOTE For example:
Initial version: zulu11.66.16-sa-jdk11.0.20-macosx_x64.dmg
Respin version: zulu11.66.16_1-sa-jdk11.0.20-
macosx_x64.dmg
