I think it is important to mention any changes in the VM interfaces. I
will add something like the following:

        New in release 0.06 (not-yet-released)
        * VMClassLoader.loadClass(), the bootstrap classloader called by
        Class.forName() and ClassLoader.loadClass(), may now return null when
        a class is not found instead of throwing a new ClassNotFoundException.
        This is a performance optimization in some cases. This also changes
        the Class.forName() reference code.
        
Will commit soon, but the subversions CVS server is acting up again:

can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv25164
Read-only file system

Sigh. 

Cheers,

Mark

P.S. I did finally commit your ObjectStream patches.
