Dear Community & Friends,

after RC4 was tested and critical bugs were discovered in regards
  - Mac OS X (GLCanvas Applet, ..)
  - Applets  (start / stop)
  - JarTempCache usage for JOAL, JOCL and JOGL's Cg
  - JOGL's Cg JNLP test.
  - Stability and many other bug fixes.

a quick followup release (RC5) was required.

More testing is very welcome, especially w/
  Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6.4 and 10.7 [standalone / applets]

  http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-test-applets.html

  Known Issues w/ OS X and GLCanvas/Applet:
    In JNLP mode (not AppletLauncher or NApplet),
    the GLDrawable is not valid (underlying offscreen layer).

Thank you all very much for your contributions (testing, ..).
