Release patchset 4 (almost done). 2. Commit a few patches I've been holding off on until after the patchset. 3. Import recently released JDK 1.4.2 SCSL sources. 4. Fix bugs as time allows. Alexey's probably includes getting 1.4 JCK compliant and doing a binary release :). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
