With no announcement on java.net or java.sun.com ???
yeah, it looks like it is released on java.sun.com, but is it for real?
just recently i read on the java.net forums about some pretty serious bugs in 6u10.
Must be a quiet release then to pick up any major “oooh f*ck!” problems. I’ll go and grab it now…

speaking of oh f*ck, i just noticed that my jogl-game flickers badly when i resize the window (awt-frame) in java6u10 while it works smoothly in java6u7.
Deary me. It seems to be the release candidate that’s why the’ve not announced it:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_10-rc"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-rc-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)

The release candidate was released earlier. This looks like the real thing.
How much earlier? I literally downloaded it a couple of hours ago.

java -version
java version "1.6.0_10-rc"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-rc-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)
Date stamp on the installer is 19/8/2008, but the file itself is jdk-6u10-rc-bin-b28-windows-i586-p-21_jul_2008.exe

Bad news for me and all other pixel pusher. The new d3d-pipeline for Windows still sucks when it comes to blitting BufferedImages to screen that aren’t static. More information: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6652116
That’s way behind. I don’t even think that is RC2. I was running 6u10rc-b32 for a while before installing the b33 “release” yesterday.
You got this from java.sun.com ?
bug voted,
thanks for the information… and once again that’s too bad… so much regression…
Yes, not good news about that.
Seems the priority is low, so I don’t see that being fixed anytime soon.
I didn’t, but apparently cas did, the output from java -version matches what he was saying he had downloaded.

downloaded&installed today and its build 33. Build 28 would be pretty strange since it had some issues with draggable applets which is more or less together with the new plugin the main feature regarding desktop java.
in case you think you got the wrong data, download again 
AHEM - it has not passed the attention of Sun that there was no comment with this release. Expect to hear from Sun next week
Oh well I’ll wait until it’s announced and get it then. Or – will the autoupdater do it for me? (Not that it’ll get the JDK but I’d like to see the JRE get it right for once!)
Cas
Aaaah… the JavaWebStart ‘it worked the second time’ is still there! 
Further, it displays the “Could not launch your application” (+stacktrace + jnlp code) if your app throws ANY exception at ANY time (like when closing down after 30 minutes) in the mainthread (?)
And it stops launching your app (!) when the SPLASH image could not be found… hrrr!
Go go go!
So the “never release anything on a friday” rule is used at Sun as well
I download the JDK version, and it didn’t fully update. My about box still showed it was still RC. Installing the JRE fixed the problem.
I guess the webmasters are not synchronized with the rest of Sun.
