Folks,

just noticed something strange. Java SE 6 Update 18 Release Notes at <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u18.html> list the following issues as being fixed for that release:

6655638  	hotspot 	compiler2 	dynamic languages need method handles
6655646  	hotspot 	compiler2 	dynamic languages need dynamically linked call sites 

What does this mean? Certainly it doesn't mean we suddenly got invokedynamic JVM support in Java 6, does it?

Attila.
