This article has a section on 'editions' (SE, ME, etc). But nothing on the differences between versions. Java 1.7 (and 1.8, though not yet finalized) is in some ways quite a different languages from 1.0. Does anyone think there ought to be a 'Versions' section with ''brief'' notes on the main changes (or perhaps just the language changes) in each version? These could include links to information on the relevant topic elsewhere on WP.
== Merger proposal (2020) ==
I propose to merge [[Java version history]] into [[Java (programming language)#Versions]]. I see this as the natural follow up to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Java version history]] which was recently closed as keep. There is important information on [[Java version history]], but the state of [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] about the subject remains unclear. {{u|Modernponderer}} helpfully linked to some sources at the deletion discussion, and I believe those sources are an excellent reason to include this information here, but I still don't see the logic in maintaining version history as a separate article. None of the sources provided are about Java version history, they're about modifications to the Java programming language that were made with each new version; ''precisely the type of information that belongs in the the history section of this article''. That's an important distinction that wasn't stressed enough in the deletion discussion. ''Java version history'' as it exists now is just too much of a violation of [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]], with far too little notability of the subject itself, to qualify for an individual article, and the series of ''keep per x'' votes with little or no explanation following the relisting, don't change that. --[[User:Puzzledvegetable|<u style="color:#0000ff"><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#000000">Puzzledvegetable</span></u>]]<b><sup style="font-family:Century Gothic">[[User talk:Puzzledvegetable|Is it teatime already?]]</sup></b> 16:50, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

:'''No merge''' this is pretty obviously too long to belong on the main page unless the information is shortened greatly, which I think would be a mistake. [[Special:Contributions/172.73.179.154|172.73.179.154]] ([[User talk:172.73.179.154|talk]]) 15:59, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
