Hi David and Deepak,
I have finished my testing of build 18-ea+23-1525. I did not discover
any further problems beyond the security regression I mentioned before.
My results are described by
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7126.
Regards,
-Rick

Thanks for the heads-up, David. The JEP 411 work will almost certainly
be a disruption for Derby. Is there a particular build which you want us
to test? I didn't see a link to the latest builds in your email. Rory
used to include those links.
Thanks,
-Rick
