Description
A behavioural change has been made to class `java.lang.invoke.LambdaMetafactory` so that it is no longer possible to construct an instance. This class only has static methods to create "function objects" (commonly utilized as bootstrap methods) and should not be instantiated. The risk of source and binary incompatibility is very low; analysis of existing code bases found no instantiations.
