Hello Iain, hi Markus, The stretch release was in a freeze at the time of that upload to experimental, so it's just a miss on my part that I didn't subsequently upload to unstable after the release. Thank you for the ping. I am currenlty building the r-deps with ratt and assuming all looks good, will upload 7.5 to unstable today. However, I echo Markus's comment about a constant need for developers on the Java team. Please feel free to contribute. Cheers, tony
