I have not be very good a blogging lately and have not been
following the discussions on the Generic Forum (I do hope to
catch up soon). This is because it was time to clean up in
the old bug list. Here's the list of compiler fixes since

If you need one of those fixes, please download the latest version of
Mustang from Java.net.
You will find weekly builds of the JDK here as well as the sources.
Before posting a build on Java.net we run a lot of tests, so a build
will first be available a few weeks after the engineers are done.
For example, today, build 67 (b67) is available and b71 will propably
be available 71-67 = 4 weeks from today.
