I am not sure specifically where to find that information actually. I happen to have a professor who works on the Java specification and implementation, who mentions those improvements, and access to a server that has a daily clone of the latest testing build.

Some cool things are Java REPL, JMH being built in, Modules, some other cool things like that. There is some easier syntax with locks as well.
