-New in release 0.21 (to be released)
-
-* Swing improvements: JTable columns are rearrangeable and resizeable with
-  mouse. Painting and scrolling are now much faster. Plain text components
-  now support highlighting and copy+paste to the system clipboard.
-  Support for styled text has been improved, including some very basic HTML
-  support. JFileChooser is now usable. Global event dispatching has been
-  implemented. Memory consumption of Swing components has been reduced.
-  Lots of general bugfixes.
-  Added new system property to turn of Graphics2D use in Swing, even
-  if Graphics2D is available: -Dgnu.javax.swing.noGraphics2D .
-
-* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into Classpath; this will
-  provide Classpath with a wide array of cryptographic algorithms

+* AWT. Improved support for mixing "lightweigth" and "heavyweight"
+  Components in Containers. Better support for dynamically updated
+  menus. Better 1.0 event model support for Scrollbars. Better class
+  documentation of gtk+ awt peers.
+
+* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into GNU Classpath; this
+  provides Classpath with a wide array of cryptographic algorithms
   (ciphers, message digests, etc.) and implementations of SSL version
   3 and TLS version 1. These roughly complement the public
   `java.security.' `javax.crypto,' and `javax.net.ssl' packages, and
   are service providers implementing the underlying algorithms.
  
-* Unicode 4.0.0 is supported.
+* Updated HTTP and FTP URLConnection protocol handlers. HTTPS support
+  out of the box.

+* Unicode 4.0.0 is supported. Character now includes support for using
+  ether a char or an int to identify code points.
+
+* More correct handling of Object methods and serialization support
+  for Proxy and abstract classes.
 
 * The new folder tools includes GIOP and RMI stub and tie source code
-  generators, IOR parser and both transient and persistent GIOP naming services.

-* RELAX NG pluggable XML schema datatype library API and an implementation
-  for XML Schema Datatypes (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/).
-  
-* Added experimental support for dynamic creation of the RMI stubs using proxy
-  classes. The rmic compiler is no longer required (unless for research
-  and specific stubs).

 * javax.imageio.plugins.bmp implementation.
 
 * Added --enable-collections configure option which builds
   "collections.jar", a 1.1 VM compatibility jar.
 
+* gnu.regexp updated from GNU/Posix syntax to support util.regex
+  syntax including various Unicode blocks, categories and properties.
+
 Runtime interface changes:
 
 * A new class, VMMath, is now available which separates the native
   mathematical functions from java.lang.Math.  The previous fdlibm
   implementation now forms the reference material for this class.
 
-Generics branch changes:
+* Updated VMObjectInputStream class to return Thread context class
+  loader if no other class loader is found.
 
-* Support for the new functionality in Java 1.5 was added to the
-java.math classes, including the RoundingMode enumeration.
+* Updated documentation on InstrumentationImpl in vmintegration guide.
