The JDK/JRE releases will *NOT* work without the updated loader and will crash right away. An updated 'ld-elf.so.1' binary is provided on the WWW page, along with installation instructions for those users who are not tracking -stable or -current. Please don't send email to the list stating that the release is built unless you know for sure that you are using the updated loader. ********END NOTE********* The new release also fixes a couple of minor bugs, including the infamous 'broken appletviewer' bug as well as some fixes for windows always placing themselves in the upper-left corner, so older FreeBSD 2.2.X users will probably be interested in upgrading. JDK2 status: ------------ JDK2 porting has just begun. We are quite a ways from having a finished product, and we are hoping the Linux JDK2 diffs will be released soon which should help us greatly. Please don't pester the porting team on when it will be done, because we don't know yet, and we're nowhere close to being done. A good guess for when it will be done would be early-late Summer.
