IcedTea 2.4.0 Released!

[Andrew John Hughes]

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from
OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional
features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative
virtual machines.

This release is the next major release supporting OpenJDK 7.  It is based
on what will eventually become the upstream u40 release.  As u40 is not yet
final, a later release in the 2.4.x series will bring in the remaining
changes from upstream.  However, we are releasing 2.4.0 now as we feel that
a major release is already long overdue (2.3.0 was released on the 15th of
August, 2012) and the myriad of bug fixes listed below should be made more
 widely available.

In addition to OpenJDK, 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.
