+This document conatains proposed API changes to the Java 3D 1.6 API
+that deviate from the 1.5 API.
+
+This file must be updated to record the addition or deprecation of any
+public or protected class, interface, field, constructor, or method to
+the Java 3D API.
+
+The one exception to this rule is that you don't need to update this
+file when adding a non-final (i.e., virtual) method to a class if that
+method--with exactly the same signature--already exists in a
+superclass. For example, adding a "toString" method to a j3d object
+doesn't require an entry in this file. Likewise, adding duplicateNode
+or cloneNode methods to Node subclasses doesn't require an entry in
+this file.
+
+No incompatible changes to the Java 3D 1.5 API are allowed.
+
+
+I. New/deprecated fields, constructors, methods
+
+ <EXISTINGCLASS>
+ ---------------
+ New methods:
+ public <NEWMETHOD>
+
+
+II. Reparented classes
+
+ <EXISTINGCLASS>
+ ---------------
+ <EXISTINGCLASS> now extends <NEWSUPERCLASS> (used to extend <OLDSUPERCLASS>)
+
+
+III. New classes and interfaces (in javax.media.j3d)
+
+
+IV. Deprecated classes and interfaces (in javax.media.j3d)
+
