Lambda Binary Drop (b56) Now Available!

[Mike Duigou]

Hello Henri;

The tags haven't been pushed yet. My announcement was timed with the appearance of the downloadables on java.net, the tags will be pushed shortly. You can grab the equivalent of the tags from the "release" file of the b56 builds:

>> - Significant enhancements to the Hotspot and JDK runtime support for lambdas

>> The next binary drop is expected the second half of next week. It will include updated javac and libraries. javac was in an unstable transition at the time b56 was prepared so skipped this release. java.util lambda libraries work has been focused on the "it2-bootstrap" branch which will be merged into the default branch later this week.
