Most interesting features:

* Added an invokedynamic instruction for faster execution of dynamic languages on the JVM

* Small language changes (e.g. strings in switch). See http://openjdk.java.net/projects/coin/

IMHO, this is worth the upgrade. I only hope it doesn't come with a Larry Ellison action-figure...
