[ANNOUNCE] IcedTea-Web breaks with latest OpenJDK security release

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

All known releases of IcedTea-Web stop working when the latest OpenJDK
security update is installed. This is caused by the changes in
AppContext-related code introduced by the OpenJDK security update.

A patch to make sure IcedTea-Web continues working has been posted [1].
Please apply it to your builds to make sure IcedTea-Web continues working.

We will try and get a new release out soon to address this and any other
problems we discover.

Thanks,
Omair
