The "java thing" has not be solved satisfactorily yet, and is unlikely to |
| 8 |
be until a gcc-3.2 compiled version of a commercial 1.3 or 1.4 JRE/JDK is |
| 9 |
made available. |

(For those not in the loop, the "java thing" is the problem where the the |
| 12 |
java plugin does not runtime link properly against mozilla due to C++ ABI |
| 13 |
differences between gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.x; various LD_PRELOAD hacks have |
| 14 |
been floating around, but we have so far elected not to apply these). |

It is highly unlikely that glibc-2.3 will be part of 1.4, if Azarah's |
| 17 |
experiences are anything to judge by (they usually are). |

And NO, you shouldn't expect anybody to announce an official release date. |
