Java 6 Update 10 was made available for download a few days ago.
The two major features of the release are modular distribution model and redesigned Java plug-in for the browsers.
Modular distribution will allow to trim the size of the initial download package (the kernel) to a few megabytes. Other modules will be transparently downloaded and installed as required.
The new Java plug-in will make sure that applets run in separate processes from the browser. This will definitely improve overall applet stability, allow for flexible applet management and configuration, and may potentially affect (improve?) applet performance.
A user-friendly description of the release features can be found here. Full release notes are here.
