We are pleased to announce the release of IcedTea 3.24.0!

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from
OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional
features such as 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 8 support with the July 2022 security
fixes from OpenJDK 8u342 and the interim 8u345 release.

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.org mailing list and patches are always welcome.

Full details of the release can be found below.
