Changes have occurred to the Java Virtual Machine
Debugging Interface (JVMDI) that are undocumented
in either CHANGES or README but that nonetheless
require modifications to client source code.

Furthermore, the required C/C++ header file
(jvmdi.h) is entirely absent from the build.

In addition, the dynamic link library jvm.dll has
been moved from the bin directory to a new
bin/classic subdirectory. This change causes apps
that embed the VM to fail because they can't find
jvm.dll. The requirement that you either copy
jvm.dll to the bin directory or add the classic
directory to your executable path is entirely
absent from the documentation.

In general, we're extremely disappointed by the
careless fashion with which Beta 3 incorporates
these changes. We've come to expect better.
