IcedTea6 1.2 Released!

[Guido Kämper]

Hello all,

congratulations to the new version!

One question: The gnu classpath has a support for using DSSI  
instruments in the sound libraries. Are there plans to include this  
into the IcedTea platform - or is it already included? That would be  
really cool:)

cu,
Guido
