+New in release 0.21 (to be released)
+
+* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into Classpath; this will
+  provide 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.
+ 
+* 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/).
+  
+* JTable columns are rearrangeable and resizeable with mouse.
+
+* 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).
+
+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:
+
+* Support for the new functionality in Java 1.5 was added to the
+java.math classes, including the RoundingMode enumeration.
+
 New in release 0.20 (Jan 13, 2006)
 
 * New StAX pull parser and SAX-over-StAX driver. Lots of DOM, SAX/StAX,
