Hi!


With the approaching release of IcedTea-Web 1.2.3 and 1.3.2, please
consider /release/icedtea-web-1.2/ and /release/icedtea-web-1.3/ frozen.


1.2:
   - PR1161: X509VariableTrustManager does not work correctly with OpenJDK7
   - PR1157: Applets can hang browser after fatal exception

1.3
   - Added new option in itw-settings which allows users to set JVM arguments when plugin is 
initialized. (backport)
    PR1260: IcedTea-Web should not rely on GTK
    PR1157: Applets can hang browser after fatal exception
    Provide names for unnamed threads for better debugging

Both releases will also contain a (currently embargoed) security fix.

Thanks for your for patience, understanding and contributions!
