+- Old plugin removed; NPPlugin is now the default and is controlled by
+  --enable/disable-plugin.  As with the old plugin, it produces a
+  IcedTeaPlugin.so library rather than IcedTeaNPPlugin.so.
+- Dependence on the binary plugs mechanism removed.  The plugin and NetX
+  code is now imported into the JDK build in the same manner as langtools,
+  CORBA, JAXP and JAXWS.
+- Zero/Shark
+  - Shark is now able to build itself.
+  - For ARM, add Thumb2 JIT.
