Is this the right place to look?
And is it going to be updated for the latest?

(Additional curiosity might be how do you look at older release notes?).


I start here and click links:
  http://developer.apple.com/Java/

I used to keep deep links, but I got tired of them breaking at random times over the years.

I was just looking for some way to verify a new successful update. For 10.4 I thought I was current which was originally indicated meant the release wouldn't show in Software Update. It did for me. I decided to go with the existing installation manual install off the earlier provided link anyhow. But was wondering if there was some way to verify I now had a good install of the 10.4 Release 9 update.
I finally decided based on file dates that I probably did. jnlp worked fine and no other subtle install related problems seemed to be there so I'm assuming I'm current with no real difficulties.
The release notes I found looked a little sparse. I thought they did used to be a good place to look for descriptions of things new to the release like the /usr/libexec/java_home tool.
I believe the joke from years back was documentation can be nice because it's easier to just say RTFM then clearly explain it every time it comes up.
