Update Release Notes

JDK Documentation

Update Release Notes summarize changes made in all 1.6.0 update releases. Update releases are bug fix releases and as such are not intended to add or delete functionality from the original 1.6.0 release. Note that bug fixes in previous update versions are also included in the current update version.

The version numbers are given below, complete with build number. To determine the version of your JDK software, use the following command: 

       java -version

Bug Database - In most cases, the bug ID number in each description below is a link in the detailed bug report on the Bug Database (Bug Parade) web site. Bug Database enables you to file your own bug reports, add comments to existing bug reports, and vote for the bugs you consider most important.

Changes in the Initial 1.6.0_01 Update Release Release Notes for the Original 1.6.0 Release

Changes in 1.6.0_01

The full internal version number for this update release is 1.6.0_01-b06 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 6u01.

US Daylight Savings Time Sun Alert 102836

Bug 6530336 that was part of Sun Alert 102836, has been fixed in this release. As a result, it is no longer necessary to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag to work around this bug. Bug 6466476, that was also part of Sun Alert 102836 has not yet been fixed. If your application uses the deprecated java.util.Timezone IDs and is sensitive to the behavior outlined in 6466476, you will still need to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag as a work-around. Note that running tzupdater with the -bc flag does not hinder the fix for 6530336 in any way.

This release contains Olson time zone data version 2007a. If you need the latest Olson data (currently 2007c) in order to accommodate the America/Indiana/Winamac changes (see US Daylight Savings Time Changes and the Java SE Platform: FAQ (Appendix)), then you will need to run the tzupdater (with -bc flag as appropriate) after installing this release. Please see Sun Java SE JDK tzupdater Tool for more information on how to do this.
