--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-May 12, 2005 Updates for Java^TM^ SE Development Kit, v6 Beta 1
-
--   Added statement about how an array object returned by a `readResolve`
-    invocation for an unshared read is handled.
--   Clarified the behavior in the event of an invalid `serialPersistentFields`
-    value.
--   Clarified that `serialVersionUID` matching is waived for array classes.
--   Clarified when `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown by
-    `ObjectOutputStream.PutFields` methods.
-
-July 24, 2003 Updates for Java^TM^ 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.5 Beta 1
-
--   Added support for serializing enum constants.
--   Added specification of class modifier flags used in the computation of
-    default `serialVersionUID` values to [Section 4.6, "Stream Unique
-    Identifiers"](class.html#stream-unique-identifiers).
-
-Aug. 16, 2001 Updates for Java^TM^ 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.4 Beta 2
-
--   Added support for class-defined `readObjectNoData` methods, to be used for
-    initializing serializable class fields in cases not covered by
-    class-defined readObject methods. See [Section 3.5, "The readObjectNoData
-    Method"](input.html#the-readobjectnodata-method), as well as Appendix A,
-    "Security in Object Serialization".
--   New methods `ObjectOutputStream.writeUnshared` and
-    `ObjectInputStream.readUnshared` provide a mechanism for ensuring unique
-    references to deserialized objects. See [Section 2.1, "The
-    ObjectOutputStream Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class),
-    [Section 3.1, "The ObjectInputStream
-    Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class), as well as Appendix A,
-    "Security in Object Serialization".
--   Documented new security checks in the one-argument constructors for
-    `ObjectOutputStream` and `ObjectInputStream`. See [Section 2.1, "The
-    ObjectOutputStream Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class) and
-    [Section 3.1, "The ObjectInputStream
-    Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class).
--   Added caution against using inner classes for serialization in [Section
-    1.10, "The Serializable
-    Interface"](serial-arch.html#the-serializable-interface).
--   Clarified requirement that class-defined `writeObject` methods invoke
-    `ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteObject` or `writeFields` once before
-    writing optional data, and that class-defined `readObject` methods invoke
-    `ObjectInputStream.defaultReadObject` or `readFields` once before reading
-    optional data. See [Section 2.3, "The writeObject
-    Method"](output.html#the-writeobject-method) and [Section 3.4, "The
-    readObject Method"](input.html#the-readobject-method).
--   Clarified the behavior of `ObjectInputStream` when class-defined
-    `readObject` or `readExternal` methods attempt read operations which exceed
-    the bounds of available data; see [Section 3.4, "The readObject
-    Method"](input.html#the-readobject-method) and [Section 3.6, "The
-    readExternal Method"](input.html#the-readexternal-method).
--   Clarified the description of non-proxy class descriptor field type strings
-    to require that they be written in "field descriptor" format; see [Section
-    6.2, "Stream Elements"](protocol.html#stream-elements).
-
-July 30, 1999 Updates for Java^TM^ 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.3 Beta
-
--   Added the ability to write `String` objects for which the UTF encoding is
-    longer than 65535 bytes in length. See [Section 6.2, "Stream
-    Elements"](protocol.html#stream-elements).
--   New methods `ObjectOutputStream.writeClassDescriptor` and
-    `ObjectInputStream.readClassDescriptor` provide a means of customizing the
-    serialized representation of `ObjectStreamClass` class descriptors. See
-    [Section 2.1, "The ObjectOutputStream
-    Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class) and [Section 3.1, "The
-    ObjectInputStream Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class).
--   Expanded Appendix A, "[Security in Object
-    Serialization"](security.html#security-in-object-serialization).
-
-Sept. 30, 1998 Updates for JDK^TM^ 1.2 Beta4 RC1
-
--   Documentation corrections only.
-
-June 22, 1998 Updates for JDK^TM^ 1.2 Beta4
-
--   Eliminated JDK^TM^ 1.2 `java.io` interfaces, `Replaceable` and
-    `Resolvable`.References to either of these classes as an interface should
-    be replaced with `java.io.Serializable`. Serialization will use reflection
-    to invoke the methods, `writeReplace` and `readResolve`, if the
-    Serializable class defines these methods. See [Section 2.5, "The
-    writeReplace Method"](output.html#the-writereplace-method) and [Section
-    3.7, "The readResolve Method"](input.html#the-readresolve-method).
--   New javadoc tags *@serial*, *@serialField*, and *@serialData* provide a way
-    to document the Serialized Form of a Serializable class. Javadoc generates
-    a serialization specification based on the contents of these tags. See
-    [Section 1.6, "Documenting Serializable Fields and Data for a
-    Class"](serial-arch.html#documenting-serializable-fields-and-data-for-a-class).
--   Special Serializable class member, `serialPersistentFields`, must be
-    declared private. See [Section 1.5, "Defining Serializable Fields for a
-    Class"](serial-arch.html#defining-serializable-fields-for-a-class).
--   Clarified the steps involved in computing the `serialVersionUID` in
-    [Section 4.6, "Stream Unique
-    Identifiers"](class.html#stream-unique-identifiers).
-
-Feb. 6, 1998 Updates for JDK^TM^ 1.2 Beta 3
-
--   Introduced the concept of `STREAM_PROTOCOL` versions. Added the
-    `STREAM_PROTOCOL_2` version to indicate a new format for `Externalizable`
-    objects that enable skipping by an `Externalizable` object within the
-    stream, even when the object's class is not available in the local Virtual
-    Machine. Compatibility issues are discussed in [Section 6.3, "Stream
-    Protocol Versions"](protocol.html#stream-protocol-versions).
--   `The ObjectInputStream.resolveClass` method can return a local class in a
-    different package than the name of the class within the stream. This
-    capability enables renaming of packages between releases. The
-    `serialVersionUID` and the base class name must be the same in the stream
-    and in the local version of the class. See [Section 3.1, "The
-    ObjectInputStream Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class).
--   Allow substitution of `String` or `array` objects when writing them to or
-    reading them from the stream. See [Section 2.1, "The ObjectOutputStream
-    Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class) and [Section 3.1, "The
-    ObjectInputStream Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class).
-
-Sept. 4, 1997 Updates for JDK^TM^ 1.2 Beta1
-
--   Separated the Replaceable interface into two interfaces: Replaceable and
-    Resolvable. The Replaceable interface allows a class to nominate its own
-    replacement just before serializing the object to the stream. The
-    Resolvable interface allows a class to nominate its own replacement when
-    reading an object from the stream.
--   Modified serialization to use the JDK^TM^ 1.2 security model. There is a
-    check for `SerializablePermission "enableSubstitution"` within the
-    `ObjectInputStream.enableReplace` and `ObjectOutputStream.enableResolve`
-    methods. See [Section 2.1, "The ObjectOutputStream
-    Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class) and [Section 3.1, "The
-    ObjectInputStream Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream-class).
--   Updated `writeObject`'s exception handler to write handled `IOException`s
-    into the stream. See [Section 2.1, "The ObjectOutputStream
-    Class"](output.html#the-objectoutputstream-class).
-
-July 3, 1997 Updates for JDK^TM^ 1.2 Alpha
-
--   Documented the requirements for specifying the serialized state of classes.
-    See [Section 1.5, "Defining Serializable Fields for a
-    Class"](serial-arch.html#defining-serializable-fields-for-a-class).
--   Added the Serializable Fields API to allow classes more flexibility in
-    accessing the serialized fields of a class. The stream protocol is
-    unchanged. See [Section 1.7, "Accessing Serializable Fields of a
-    Class](serial-arch.html#accessing-serializable-fields-of-a-class),"
-    [Section 2.2, "The ObjectOutputStream.PutField
-    Class](output.html#the-objectoutputstream.putfield-class)," and [Section
-    3.2, "The ObjectInputStream.GetField
-    Class"](input.html#the-objectinputstream.getfield-class).
--   Clarified that field descriptors and data are written to and read from the
-    stream in canonical order. See [Section 4.1, "The ObjectStreamClass
-    Class"](class.html#the-objectstreamclass-class).

 ## 4.5 Inspecting Serializable Classes
 
 The program *serialver* can be used to find out if a class is serializable and
-to get its `serialVersionUID`. When invoked with the-show option, it puts up a
-simple user interface. To find out if a class is serializable and to find out
-its *serialVersionUID*`,` enter its full class name, then press either the
-Enter or the Show button. The string printed can be copied and pasted into the
