We've been cranking!
Just in case you hadn't noticed, in the waves of election-mania, Sun has been cranking out a pile of great software releases recently:
- JDK 6u10 with all of it's desktop deployment and performance goodies shipped.
- MySQL has a release candidate for 5.1!!
- Glassfish V3 has a tasty supported prelude release available.
- The NetBeans crew has put out NetBeans 6.5RC with enhanced support for RESTful services, C/C++, a pile of scripting languages, and a whole lot more.
- OpenSolaris is really close to the FCS of the 2008.11 release. I've been running the release candidates, and it's looking great.
- And the JavaFX team is getting real close....
