I was planning one for when I get back from Toronto. I wanted to do it
earlier but all these trips get in the way. Can we still get it in
after stage 1?
There are a number of important fixes to go in, notably a regression
in the locale data & a performance regression in DateFormatSymbols
spotted by the JikesRVM team which dates back to Classpath 0.98.
There are also some new method implementations that will be helpful
for building OpenJDK and the usual bug fixes.
Check out bugs targeted to 0.99.1 in GCC Bugzilla.
