A second "release candidate" version of JavaMail 1.6.0 is now available.
There's a few bug fixes relative to the rc1 release related to the UTF-8
support.
At this point, I expect NO changes for the final release.
The 1.6.0 release contains API improvements, bug fixes, and enhancements,
including the following significant changes:
- Use of Java generics in most APIs
- Support for internationalized email addresses (RFC 6530/6531/6532)
- Support for SMTP CHUNKING (RFC 3030)
- Support for connecting through web proxy servers
The full list of changes is in the file CHANGES.txt, viewable in the
source code repository here:

The API changes in JavaMail 1.6 are described here:

The JavaMail 1.6 specification Maintenance Review is now underway at the JCP:
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=919
The ballot will finish on July 10. Assuming it passes, I expect to produce
the final JavaMail 1.6.0 release shortly thereafter.
The JavaMail javax.mail-1.6.0-rc2.jar file is available in the java.net
Maven Repository starting here:
https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/public/com/sun/mail/javax.mail/
It is also available from the Maven Central repository.
You'll find the source code for this version in the repository
of the JavaMail project on GitHub:
