Description jiri vanek 2015-04-29 12:24:53 EDT
Newest icedtea-web 1.6 was released today, 29.4.2015.
It was pushed as update to all fedoras.
Rawhide and f22 had release candidates for last month.

Unless it do something really unexpected in fedora, I would like to update ITW in rhel 7.2 to this latest release.

The release have few enhancement, but many bugfixes and stabilisations.
Comment 7 jiri vanek 2015-09-21 02:39:14 EDT
Hello.

In meantime, ITW 1.6.1 was released - http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2015-September/033546.html .

it is not somehow huge release, but it contains two security fixes. IMHO it is good idea to respin  7.2 erratum to 1.6.1 (from already done 1.6 update)  even in such an late state.

Please provide exception + if possible.
Comment 9 jiri vanek 2015-09-22 03:54:24 EDT
1.6.1 build and added to erratum.
