My team felt the same way, we were planning to do another full set of
regression testing on the latest u40 release candidate before it went
public, but weren't sure how many more release candidates there would be
or when they were slated for release. But on the upside, initial
testing on the actual u40 release is looking good so far!

I'd like to announce that JDK 7u40 has become available for download
today at :
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Thanks to all those who have contributed towards it.
OpenJDK 7u40 source code is available via the 7u40 stabilization forest
[1] and a 7u40 source bundle [2] has also been made available. I've also
updated the OpenJDK 7u project page with latest status. I plan to ask
OpenJDK ops team for the jdk7u40/jdk7u40-dev forests to become read only.
If you're packaging this release, it could be useful to let subscribed
members know about it via communication on this mailing list. Please
continue to contribute fixes back to the jdk7u-dev forest [3] which is
already gathering changes for the next non-CPU JDK7u release.
Regards,
Sean.

It would have been good to have had more warning than just "mid September" [0].
I see no discussion of testing being carried out on u40 or a more precise
release date.
It appears that Zero is broken in u40 by 8016131. How do I go about getting
this fix [1] into the u40 branch? Is that possible?
