Many thanks for this release!
I have some problems with understanding the diffs strategy this time. I have not
found any information on this in the release notes (README-1.1.6v4a.html).
So far the patches where cumulative. Now '.in.jdk1.1.6-v4a.diffs.gz.' (note the
strange dots around the name) are 8Kb and the previous jdk1.1.6.v2.diffs for v2
where 120Kb.
I take the patches are no longer cumulative but incremental. Can you confirm or
deny?
