Comment 2 jiri vanek 2016-01-19 16:27:46 UTC

I was fixing this bugzilla in coopoeration with customer, and as 1.6.2 will be released soon, I'm strongly for updating rhels to this bugs-fixing release

Comment 3 jiri vanek 2016-02-03 16:59:56 UTC

Icedtea web 1.6.2 was released today and was pushed to fedora.

IS trongly advice to update rhel 7.2.z to 1.6.2. The bugfixes contained in 1.6.1 are quite important and complex. , and backport of individual one of them is not possible.

Comment 5 jiri vanek 2016-02-27 12:28:33 UTC

Comment 6 jiri vanek 2016-02-27 15:22:47 UTC

Comment 9 jiri vanek 2016-05-10 09:00:59 UTC
