> been applied. [2]
>
> * I've ported fixes from the forthcoming 6u10 release in the corba, jaxp,

> * Configuration information for some networking tests can now be provided as

>
> * Assorted other fixes. [7]

> Internally, the code for OpenJDK 6 is split into teamware workspaces with a
> similar structure to the JDK 7 Mercurial repositories (corba, jaxp, jaxws,
> langtools, jdk, etc.).  For a subset of those component workspaces, I've
> brought over the fixes in those areas from 6u10.  OpenJDK 6 build 12 will be

> will also upgrade the HotSpot in OpenJDK 6 from HotSpot 10 to HotSpot 11;
> HotSpot 11 is also being used in 6u10.  From that point on, the same HotSpot
> sources will be used for both OpenJDK 6 and the 6 update releases.

> I expect the next build within a few weeks with the Mercurial repository to

Thanks for being so through in describing the changes in b12.
This is of great help when updating IcedTea6 :)
