Sun has also posted Maintenance Review 2 for the JavaTM Platform, Standard Edition, Version 6. "This document provides descriptions of specification changes being made in version 6 of the Java™ Platform, Standard Edition (Java™ SE 6). Version 6 includes a set of new Java Specification Requests (JSRs) that introduce major new functionality. This Maintenance Review does not cover new APIs defined through those JSRs; it documents only smaller changes made under the JCP Maintenance Review process. Moreover, this Maintenance Review does not cover updates to specifications that are contained in Java SE 6 but that are also available stand-alone. Separate Maintenance Reviews will be held for any changes to such specifications. The descriptions in this document correspond to platform changes made since the release of Java SE 6 Beta. The specification change descriptions are provided for purposes of Java Community Process public maintenance review." There are lots of small but significant changes throughout the API. For instance, it's now possible to set the buffer size for pipe streams. Comments are due by November 13.
