+  - Ported and enabled the JPDA (Java Platform Debugger Architecture) component
+    which provides a framework for debugging Java applications.
+
+  - Added sound (audio and MIDI) support to Java applications using DART.
+
+  - Added a free implementation of the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package (taken
+    from the IcedTea project) used by some old Java applications like Jeti/2.
+
+  - Renamed all Java DLLs by adding a 'j' prefix to the names to avoid possible
+    conflicts with system DLLs.
 
   - Fixed: Accessing the network from Java applications would crash on some
     machines (Odin bug).

     Jeti/2) when throwing NullPointerException as a result of accessing null
     objects of some application classes (Odin bug).
+
+  - Fixed: java.util.prefs.Preferences: Use the Open32 registry on OS/2 instead
+    of throwing an exception.
+
+  - Fixed: JVM used PATH instead of LIBPATH to comprise java.library.path
+    resulting in inability to find JNI DLLs in some applications.
+
+  - Fixed: Crash in java.io.WinNTFileSystem.getSpace() (Odin bug).
+
+  - Fixed: Exception java.awt.image.ImagingOpException in many applications due
+    to wrong exports from in jmlibimg.dll.

   Besides adding the 'j' prefix, some DLLs were also renamed further to fit the

-  the following dlls were renamed...
-
-  hprof.dll -> jhprof.dll in -agentlib: cmd line option
-  debug dlls as well
+  8 character DLL name length limit forced by the OS/2 kernel loader.
+
+  This rename operation is transparent to all Java applications except a few
+  cases which involve custom agent libraries used to enhance the functionality
+  of JDK or JVM. These libraries in particular include:
+
+  Original Name            New Name
+  --------------------------------------------
+  hprof.dll                jhprof.dll
+  dt_shmem.dll             jdtshmem.dll
+  dt_socket.dll            jdtsock.dll
+
+  In order to use the renamed libraries, you need to substitute the old name
+  with the new name wherever the old name is used in Java documentation,
+  configuration files or command line options. For example, to use the profiler
+  library, you will have to write "-agentlib:jhprof.dll" on the command line
+  instead of "-agentlib:hprof.dll" and so on.
