Description
The Windows implementation of `java.io.File` allows access to NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) by default. Such streams have a structure like “filename:streamname”. A system property `jdk.io.File.enableADS` has been added to control this behavior. To disable ADS support in `java.io.File`, the system property `jdk.io.File.enableADS` should be set to `false` (case ignored). Stricter path checking however prevents the use of special devices such as `NUL:`

That is find, thanks.

I removed 19 from the Affects Version field, so the system won't pick it up now in the 19 RNs. It will still pick it up in the other RNs that are listed.

Please withdraw this release note for the JDK 19 release only.
