  Yuri makes a good point.  Here's an update.

htdocs/java/ChangeLog:

        * index.html: Mention recent windows updates.

  Ok?

    cheers,

(Yuri, you might get a bit more attention if you post to the java@ list rather
than the main one.  GCJ is by no means dead, but it's understaffed as
open-source projects often are, so sometimes it can be a while before anyone
is free to respond.)

I am wondering whether that shouldn't go to our main page, and a
reference from the older java/news to that one added?  It's not
that we have too many news items on our main page, either.

  Well, it's not as substantial a change as the kind of things listed there.
I plan to submit a longer entry for 4.5/changes.html, later in stage 3.
