Sun Java JRE 6 Update 18 released 1/13/10

Realizing this is not a security update, is there a estimated timeframe for release? The only reason we are asking is to try to schedule some maintenance patching. Pending Fixlet availability and subsequent testing, we may move the maintenance window. Nothing urgent.

Thanks,

John

Hey John-

Sorry… we saw this non-security update, but the Jan Patch Tuesday, the upcoming Out of Band Microsoft release, and a whole bunch of other things prevented us from testing the content for this one right away. Expect this sometime after the Out Of Band stuff gets done (1/26/2010ish approximately)

This should be published now. Let us know if there are any questions or concerns!

liuhoting,

Thanks. This is good news. I think I’ve suggested this before and others have as well, but perhaps a blog or a fixlet status page of upcoming fixlets and their estimated release date would probably eliminate these questions.

Keep up the great work! Have a good weekend.
