Hi,
I thought I'd send out a short status update on the 7u2 project. We are
now in phase 2 for 7u2 and consequently in phase 1 for 7u4. We will
build 7u4 on a weekly basis and publish the builds on java.net. 7u2 will
now be built on a monthly basis. The approval process for phase 1 and 2
is slightly different. For phase 1 you can find the approval template
here: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/approval-template.html .
Dalibor is on vacation, so we haven't been able to upload it to the
project page. You should be able to find it next to the other template
on the same link sometime next week. In the meantime I'll paste it in
this email [1]. Expect that it will take a few days for me to respond to
approval requests for phase 2 as they require release team approval.
Cheers,
Edvard
