So if a release is made with known bugs, the only way to find that out is to go to the Apache Derby site and find the release notes there? This seems like an issue, it's typically to have this kind of information with the download, not separate. It's also based upon an assumption that internet access is easy, which is not true for all of the world. People may be getting Derby from CD/DVDs or bundled within other applications. Assuming there's an easy path back to the apacche site seems wrong. Dan.
