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, the ability to build
against system libraries and support for alternative virtual machines
and architectures beyond those supported by OpenJDK.
This release updates our OpenJDK 7 support in the 2.4.x series with a
number of bug fixes and synchronises it with the upstream u40 b60 tag.
If you find an issue with the release, 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
welcome.
Full details of the release can be found below.
