Hi Felix,
I did the August 18th code drop. We are trying to clear legal with regard to putting out more detailed changelogs/diffs. Ideally, we would like to see the exact putback deltas/comments that the engineers are using - but right now that isn't possible. From what I understand we should have this soon... and I've been working on the delivery scripts/code to get it out to the community as well. So please trust me when I say that as soon as we get all the legal permission/clearances, then we will start publishing these comments/deltas. The best we can do right now is provide the CVS tarball which will at least give you CVS deltas between our code drops so you can what changed. I would argue that this does not render it useless.. we've already had some external contributions given back by non-Sun contributors.

cheers,
steve
