6622432 is the one of the ones I just pointed to i.e. it's in JDK7. If Alan has a further patch and hasn't even submitted it for inclusion, it's obviously not in.
I had just queried Joe Darcy at Sun about reviewing my patches for Karatsuba and Toom-Cook multiplication in BigInteger again last week. His reply was:
"Yes, I apologize again for the repeated delays; I want to get your Karatsuba work reviewed and integrated within this JDK 7 milestone (the next few weeks)."
So I'm hopeful. So far, I haven't heard of any substantive issues with the patches. They were mostly stylistic.
As I've stated before, I also have patches that greatly improve the performance of pow() and toString() (by orders of magnitude) that I have been holding on to for a long time, and hoping to submit after the multiplication patches are approved. (I was asked by Joe Darcy to submit in smaller patches.) Hopefully these might get in JDK 7 too.
