What is the Latest JVM Specification Document? The 2nd Edition?

TIA.

The Java Virtual Machine Specification, 2nd Edition
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/>, as amended by
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/jvms-clarify.html>.

The main points to be aware of are the gobs of class file changes (I can
only find the Java 6 class file spec in its JSR, hidden deep) from Java
5, the modification to the ldc instruction, and the introduction of
invokedynamic.

Since my involvement with the JVM internals only takes me as far as the
class file and instruction set semantics, I don't know how substantive
the other changes where.
