Other Improvements in Tiger

There are many improvements in Tiger other than those covered in this chapter. Many of these improvements are under the hood and involve thread scheduling or other virtual-machine issues that are outside the scope of this tutorial. For those of you interested in learning more about Tiger, take a look at JSR 176, which is available on the Java Community Process page at http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=176. These specifications will provide you with all the details you could possibly want about the implementation of the various components of Tiger.
