+Summary of important user-visible changes for releases of the Java package
+
+===============================================================================
+java-1.2.9   Release Date: 2012-07-25   Release Manager: Philip Nienhuis

+--- __java__.cc: restore the locale after initializing the JVM (S\xE9bastien
+    Villemot)
