We've been away for a few days in Verulamium (that's St Albans in modern naming). Romans, Tudors, parks, and the Cathedral. Plus food, drink, museums and markets. All in pretty decent weather, which was a bonus.

Here at Cambridge Living Streets we've announced our latest campaign focus. This time, looking at pedestrian crossings. Which are, for the most part, designed and implemented by motorists for the benefit of motorists.

Changes in Tribblix m39:
In OpenJDK development, the rule for update releases is that changes should be applied in mainline first and then backported.
Unfortunately, because mainline doesn't have Solaris support any more, this means that changes touching the OS layer don't work, because there isn't a Solaris version of the change in mainline. Especially for jdk11u, where Solaris is supposed to be supported.
I try and catch these by watching the mailing lists, but that might miss the odd one.

Sergey SAV 🐧Looking through the LinkedIn thread brought to mind how we used to use Solaris Zones at work. It was incredible. I gained a lot of valuable experience from Sun. That was likely the most legendary company on Earth.
If prosperity were measured in consultations, feasibility studies, and outline business cases then we would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
