Hi all!

Please consider http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea-web-1.4 as frozen. Tarball:
a03135f895d60837f6bf7784de0c3914 http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea-web-1.4 is under 
testing.


Unless some mayor fault will be found, this will become official release.
As there is nothing crucial, if somebody feels something shoud be added, let me know as soon as 
possible , and I will retag.

Not much had happened:

New in release 1.4.1 (2013-XX-YY):
* Improved and cleaned Temporary internet files panel
* NetX
  - PR1465 - java.io.FileNotFoundException while trying to download a JAR file
  - PR1473 - javaws should not depend on name of local file
* Plugin
  - PR854: Resizing an applet several times causes 100% CPU load
* Security Updates
  - CVE-2012-4540, RH869040: Heap-based buffer overflow after triggering event attached to applet

+ reproducers tests are enabled in dist-tarball
+ application context support for  OpenJDK build 25 and higher
+ small patches into rhino support and
+ PR1533: Inherit jnlp.packEnabled and jnlp.versionEnabled like other properties
  - which are backports and are not in news from some reason :)


Happy testing
   J.
