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
