IcedTea6 1.11 Released!

[Omair Majid]

We are pleased to announce a new major release of IcedTea6, 1.11!

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from 
OpenJDK6 using Free Software build tools. It includes an arm assembly 
port as well as support for alternate virtual machines such as CACAO and 
JamVM.

What's New?

* Use HotSpot 20 as the default virtual machine.
* ARM assembly language port reinstated and updated; details below.
* Allow selection of test suites using the jtreg_checks argument e.g. 
jtreg_checks="langtools"
* Drop the outdated NIO2 backport.  Users who want NIO2 should use 
IcedTea 2.x.
* Shark has been disabled
* Fixed build with GCC 4.7
* Bug fixes

test failed.
