IcedTea-Web 1.2 released!

[Deepak Bhole]

IcedTea-Web 1.2 is finally out! My apologies for the delayed release. We found
some regressions when testing the final candidate and decided to hold off until
everything was fixed.

New features and important bug fixes include:

New features:
  Signed JNLP support
  Support for client authentication certificates
  Cache size enforcement now supported via itweb-settings
  Applet parameter passing through JNLP files now supported
  Better icons for access warning dialog
  Security Dialog UI revamped to make it look less threatening when appropriate

Bug fixes:
  Common:
    Plug-in/Web Start can now handle corrupted cache
    PR742: IcedTea-Web checks certs only upto 1 level deep before declaring them untrusted.

  Plug-in:
    PR852: Classloader not being flushed after last applet from a site is closed
    PR820: Firefox 10 and above no longer crashes when LiveConnect is heavily used
    MIME descriptions for Java 7 are now defined
    Build against mozilla-plugin.pc is now supported

  Web Start:
    PR618: Can’t install OpenDJ, JavaWebStart fails with Input stream is null error.
    PR766: javaws fails to parse a node that contains CDATA
    PR765: JNLP file with all resource jars marked as ‘lazy’ fails to validate signature and stops the launch of application
    PR808: javaws is unable to start when missing jars are enumerated before main jar
    Close the splashscreen in case of error (not just successful launch).
