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 at
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla under the appropriate component.
Development discussion takes place on distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net
and patches are always welcome.
Full details of the releases can be found below.
Note that this will be the last release in the 2.2.x series with 2.4.0
being imminent. The 2.1.x series will unfortunately have to be supported
until the ARM32 port is moved to a newer release, but we hope this won't
be for much longer.
