I wish Sun would announce new Java releases someplace. Release dates in the documentation would be nice too…

In any case, Java 5.0 version 1.5.0_03 is now available for download. Among the amusingly catastrophic-sounding bugs listed as fixed in the release notes:

Bug 6173972: backspace, arrow keys, and return key not working in java applications

Handy to have that fixed…
