IcedTea 2.3.14 & 2.4.6: Considered ARMful Released!

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.
These releases are mainly focused on ARM support. In 2.4.6, we see
the first appearance of support for both the ARM32 JIT (previously
in 2.3.x and earlier) and the AArch64 port. As it successfully
built itself on Fedora, the ARM32 JIT is enabled by default, but
can now be disabled using --disable-arm32-jit.
We also update the 2.3 series, containing the more stable version
of the ARM32 JIT, with the fixes previously released in 2.4.5.
2.3.14 also adds the two missing HotSpot security updates from
the 2.3.12 release. However, these are only enabled by default
when building Zero. They can be forced on for other builds by
setting --enable-jsr292-update.
This will be the last release of the 2.3.x series and users should
transition to 2.4.x as soon as possible. More updates on this and
other releases to follow shortly.
If you find an issue with one of the releases, 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 OpenJDK mailing list and patches are always welcome.
Full details of the releases can be found below.
