- The asynchronous I/O methods that specify a CompletionHandler now return void. As a consequence the CompletionHandler#cancelled method has been removed.
- New class java.nio.file.attribute.FileTime to represent a file timestamp (replaces long+TimeUnit that were originally chosen as the representation on the assumption that they would be replaced by Instant as being defined by the date/time JSR).
- setTimes method no long prevents setting of timestamps to values that pre-date the java epoch.
- FileRef revamped to allow it be more widely implemented. All file centric methods are moved down to Path and set/get/readAttributes methods moved from AttributeView.
- URL now implements FileRef (experimental)
- Path#delete(boolean) changed to deleteIfExists()
- Added Files#createDirectories to work like mkdir -p
- SecureDirectoryStream missing type parameter. Also, newDirectoryStream followLinks parameter replaced with LinkOption[].
- Path#toRealPath(false) now works correctly with broken sym links (sol/lin).
