New Year, new lambda binaries

[Mike Duigou]

Happy New Year to all Lambdabblers, Lambdingers, Lambdongers and Lambdoozlers; (lame "Grinch who stole Christmas" reference)

New early access binaries of Java 8 with Lambda is now available (b72). Brian and Paul were hard at work over the holidays to deliver many improvements to the API and implementation.

http://jdk8.java.net/lambda/

The source used for this release has not been synced with the Java 8 mainline in a few weeks. A sync-up will be done before the next release. Additionally, the pace of lambda changes migrating to Java 8 mainline will increase this month. We will always try to ensure that the lambda early access builds offer a superset of what's in Java 8 with few if any differences.

Cheers!
