The 1.11.11 release is an amendment for the previous 1.11.10 security
release, adding a number of build fixes and resolutions for issues
found when running the OpenJDK 6 TCK. Most notable is:
* RH952389: Temporary files created with insecure permissions
which amends the fix for S8003543 to work correctly with OpenJDK 6.
In addition, IcedTea includes the usual IcedTea patches to allow
builds against system libraries and to support more estoric
architectures.
If you find an issue with one of these releases, please report it to
our bug database (http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla) under the
appropriate component. Development discussion takes place on the
distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net mailing list and patches are always
