JDK 1.7.0_75 and JDK 1.8.0_31 are out
1.7.0_76 in April will be the end of JDK 1.7. Autoupdate will flip
1.7 to 1.8.
There is some confusion about 1.7.0_76.
The executable is called 1.7.0_75
The release notes for the current version are 1.7.0_76.

What is the difference between a Java CPU (7u75) and PSU (7u76) release?
Java SE Critical Patch Updates (CPU) contain fixes to security
vulnerabilities and critical bug fixes. Oracle strongly recommends that
all Java SE users upgrade to the latest CPU releases as they are made
available. Most user should choose this release.
Java SE Patch Set Updates (PSU) contain all of the security fixes in the
CPUs released up to that version, as well as additional non-critical
fixes. Java PSU releases should only be used if you are being impacted
by one of the additional bugs fixed in that version.
