Solaris 10 updates summary

I needed some quick list of features available in particular update of Solaris 10. As you may know, the Solaris 10 was released in 2005. Since that time, there were realeased 5 updates in total which are bringing new features to the OS. The sixth update might be released during the October, 2008.
