Hi,

The OpenJDK6 b29 source release is now available for download:

https://java.net/projects/openjdk6/downloads/download/openjdk-6-src-b29-05_dec_2013.tar.gz

This release contains a number of security fixes. Anyone using
OpenJDK6 b28 is strongly encouraged to update.

A list of all changes is available here:
https://openjdk6.java.net/OpenJDK6-B29-Changes.html

Please note that builds based on this do not pass the TCK. All the
failures were caused by limited crypto. Patches are available to address
this [1]. This is not a regression as far as I know.

A special thanks to Andrew Hughes for backporting all the security fixes.

Onwards to b30!

Cheers,
Omair
