ga-release : The source code of the GA release on 01/31/2019.
preview-release : The source code of the preview release on 11/14/2018.
release-8.XXX.YY.Z : The source code for each release is recorded by a branch or a tag with a name of this form. XXX stands for the OpenJDK 8 update number, YY for the OpenJDK 8 build number, and Z for the Corretto-specific revision number. The latter starts at 1 and is incremented in subsequent releases as long as the update and build number remain constant.
