I'd like to announce that JDK 7u40 has become available for download today at : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Thanks to all those who have contributed towards it. OpenJDK 7u40 source code is available via the 7u40 stabilization forest [1] and a 7u40 source bundle [2] has also been made available. I've also updated the OpenJDK 7u project page with latest status. I plan to ask OpenJDK ops team for the jdk7u40/jdk7u40-dev forests to become read only. If you're packaging this release, it could be useful to let subscribed members know about it via communication on this mailing list. Please continue to contribute fixes back to the jdk7u-dev forest [3] which is already gathering changes for the next non-CPU JDK7u release. Regards, Sean.

It would have been good to have had more warning than just "mid September" [0]. I see no discussion of testing being carried out on u40 or a more precise release date.

It appears that Zero is broken in u40 by 8016131. How do I go about getting this fix [1] into the u40 branch? Is that possible?
