Blacklist Entries
This update release includes the following new entry to the Blacklist:
* JNLPAppletLauncher (See Sun Alert 263490 .)
Note: Users should install JDK and JRE 6 Update 15 or later on systems running JDK and JRE 5.0 and SDK and JRE 1.4.2 to take advantage of this blacklist feature. For more information see the Blacklist Jar Feature section in the 6u14 Release Notes.
Debug Issue
Java ™ Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVM TI) breakpoints are reliable only when either the Parallel Scavenge garbage collector (-XX:+UseParallelGC) or the Parallel Compacting garbage collector (-XX:+UseParallelOldGC) is used.
When other collectors are used, breakpoints may stop functioning, and JVM TI object tags may become unusable after a full GC operation is performed. Java ™ Debug Interface (JDI) ThreadReferences have an embedded thread ID that depends on JVM TI object tags, thus the embedded thread ID may change unexpectedly. This may cause confusion in thread based JDI events.
Note that the Serial garbage collector (-XX:+UseSerialGC) is vulnerable to this problem and is selected by default on some platforms. The work around is to explicitly select the Parallel Scavenge collector using the command line option -XX:+UseParallelGC.

* Bugs fixed:
- si_{set,get}_finalizer were not exported from ecl.dll and thus the library
TRIVIAL-GARBAGE failed to build in Windows
- The MSVC port did not define @ECL_LDRPATH@ and failed to build ecl.dll
- The sequence functions did not understand the newest specialized array types.
* Visible changes:
- The configuration flag --with-__thread now defaults to NO because many
platforms do not support it and GCC does not complain, making reliable
detection impossible.
- For further compatibility with SBCL, ECL now supports two additional
buffer types :FULL and :LINE which are compatible with :FULLY-BUFFERED
and :LINE-BUFFERED (Thanks to Matthew Mondor)
- The sockets library can now be loaded using either (REQUIRE 'SOCKETS)
or (REQUIRE 'SB-BSD-SOCKETS).

Changes since previous packaged version are too long to list,
they include 1,5 years of continuous development, adding features,
compiler optimizations, and fixing bugs. See log at

Changes in 0.9.9:
* bugfixes
* extend and improve support for attributes
* adapat to latest libfirm
Changes in 0.9.8:
* several bugfixes
* add/correct semantic checks
* improve error recovery
* support more GCC extensions
* add/improve/correct warnings
|

Changes in 1.8.7 (since 1.8.6)
* Bugs fixed
** Fix compilation with `--disable-deprecated'
** Fix %fast-slot-ref/set!, to avoid possible segmentation fault
** Fix MinGW build problem caused by HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC confusion
** Fix build problem when scm_t_timespec is different from struct timespec
** Fix build when compiled with -Wundef -Werror
** More build fixes for `alphaev56-dec-osf5.1b' (Tru64)
** Build fixes for `powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0' (AIX 5.3)
** With GCC, always compile with `-mieee' on `alpha*' and `sh*'
** Better diagnose broken `(strftime "%z" ...)' in `time.test' (bug #24130)
** Fix parsing of SRFI-88/postfix keywords longer than 128 characters
** Fix reading of complex numbers where both parts are inexact decimals
** Allow @ macro to work with (ice-9 syncase)
Previously, use of the @ macro in a module whose code is being
transformed by (ice-9 syncase) would cause an "Invalid syntax" error.
Now it works as you would expect (giving the value of the specified
module binding).
** Have `scm_take_locale_symbol ()' return an interned symbol (bug #25865)
** Fix potential deadlocks when running on multiple threads
** Fix problems building with the i586-mingw32msvc cross-compiler
It's now possible to build Guile for Windows by using the
i586-mingw32msvc cross-compiler on GNU/Linux. This kind of build
produces DLLs and a main program that can be copied to and used on a
Windows PC. For how to do this, see the `Cross building Guile'
section in `README'.

Changes since previous packaged version (8.12.0) include half year
of very active development:
- The dynamic FFI is now implemented using libffi.
- Support of UNICODE.
- Multithreading (provided Boehm-GC built with threads support).
- Command line flags to control the different memory limits:
--heap-size, --lisp-stack, --frame-stack and --c-stack.
- The stack size is now measured in bytes, not in lisp words.
- The out of memory error (ext:storage-exhausted) can now be recovered.
By default a correctable error is signaled and the user is given the
chance to increase the heap size.
- Better compiler, optimizer, debugger.
- Improved handling of compiler errors.
- New and more easily extensible implementation of streams.
- *STANDARD-INPUT*, *{STANDARD,ERROR,TRACE}-OUTPUT* are no longer synonyms to
*TERMINAL-IO* but directly the input or output streams associated to stdin,
stdout and stderr.
- Improved numerics.
- Read-only readtables.
- Numerous bug fixes.

- patch-aa: if the build fails, try to bail out gracefully instead
of entering an infinite cpu- and disk-eating loop.

Changes from 3.1.6 to 3.1.7
---------------------------
1. Gawk now has support for z/OS (IBM S/390 architecture).
2. Gawk now handles multibyte strings better in [s]printf with field
widths and such.
3. Gawk now uses libsigsegv to print a message before core dumping. This
handles infinite recursion of an awk function a little better.
Use of the library can be disabled at configure time with the
--disable-libsigsegv option for unusual systems.
4. The handling of BINMODE is now somewhat more sane.
5. A getline from a directory is no longer fatal; instead it returns -1.
6. Per POSIX, special variable names (like FS) cannot be used as function
parameter names.
7. The new -O / --optimize option enables simple constant folding on
the parse tree during parsing. We hope that with time the number
of optimizations will increase.
8. Updated to the latest autotools: Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.11,
Libtool 2.2.6a, and Gettext 0.17. Also latest Bison: 2.4.1.
9. Some improvement in testing for isinf / isnan in builtin.c.
10. Improved the handling of `a = a b c' to be more general.
11. Locale handling for %'d should now work on certain non-Unix /
non-Linux systems.
12. Lots of bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog for the details.

Known Issues
IE 8 Hangs with OBJECT Tag
When an OBJECT tag is used to specify an applet, and the browser does not receive any mouse button events or keyboard events before the browser gets to the point of interpreting (executing) the OBJECT> tag, then IE 8 hangs.
This bug is seen when an html file containing OBJECT tag is specified as a command line parameter while launching IE. For example:
iexplorer.exe file.html
In this case, there is no mouse button event between invocation of IE and OBJECT tag execution.
A workaround is to force the user to use a mouse or keyboard before IE8 reaches the tag. For example, if applet.html contains an OBJECT tag, then the following command line invocation hangs the browser:
iexplorer.exe applet.html
However, if you specify applet.html in another html file, as follows, then the user is forced to use the keyboard or mouse button, and the hang does not occur:
<HTML><BODY><A href="file:applet.html"> click </A> </BODY></HT

The full internal version number for this update release is 1.5.0_18-b02 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 5.0u18.
Security Baseline

Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API Change
The behavior of the JNDI feature to store and retrieve Java objects in an LDAP directory has been slightly modified.
When storing a Java object in an LDAP directory, the location of the object's class file (its codebase) may be specified. Later, when restoring the original object, its codebase along with additional object data is retrieved from the directory and used by the class loader.
An object's codebase is no longer implicitly trusted. Instead, a new system property called com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase must explicitly be set to the string value true in order for a codebase to be used. Otherwise, the codebase will be ignored by the class loader when restoring a Java object, and only those class files that appear on the classpath will be recognized.
Java Management Extensions(JMX) Change
In a JMX access property file, the readwrite access no longer allows the remote createMBean and unregisterMBean operations. These must now be provided explicitly via new clauses.
The default jmxremote.access file of the JRE ($JRE_HOME/lib/management/jmxremote.access) shows what this looks like:
monitorRole readonly
controlRole readwrite \
create javax.management.monitor.*,javax.management.timer.* \
unregister
CORBA Memory Leak Fix - Special Note
This update release and revision 5.0u16-rev-b12 and subsequent updates and revisions contain a fix for 6725987. When using updates and revisions prior to these, an ORB may contain valid references (that is, a memory leak) even after calling its shutdown() and destroy() methods, and it may respond to some method calls.
With this fix, the ORB correctly cleans up and the Garbage Collector can free up the memory held by such references. Incorrect accesses to such references or methods are likely to result in a NullPointerException to the application.
Root Certificates Included
Root Certificates are included in this release. The following root certificates have been added:
* VeriSign TSA Root Cert to the JDK (Refer to 6732157.)
* Two additional T-systems root CA certs (Refer to 6803022.)
* Two Unizeto root certs (Refer to 6803036.)
Bug Fixes
This release contains fixes for one or more security vulnerabilities. For more information, please see Sun Alerts 254569, 254570, 254571, 254608, and 254611.

This release contains Olson time zone data version 2008i. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software .
Updated UTF-8 Charset Implementation
Due to security concerns, the UTF-8 charset implementation in the JRE has been updated to handle the non-shortest form of UTF-8 byte sequences, and this introduces an incompatibility from previous releases. For example, the byte sequence of 0xc0 0xaf for U+002f, which has the shortest form of 0x2f, is a malformed input to the decoding operation. More details regarding the Non-shortest form of UTF-8 can be found at:
* UTF8-Shortest Form
* UTF8 Specification
Root Certificates Included
Root Certificates are included in this release. The following root certificates have been added:
* Camerfirma root certificates
* T-systems root CA certificate (Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2)
* SwissSign root certificates

However, if you specify applet.html in another html file, as follows, then the user is forced to use the keyboard or mouse button, and the hang does not occur:
<HTML><BODY><A href="file:applet.html"> click </A> </BODY></HT

Changes in 1.5.0_18
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.5.0_18-b02 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 5.0u18.
Security Baseline
This update release specifies the following security baseline:
JRE Family Version Security Baseline 1.4.2 1.4.2_20
For more information about the security baseline, see Deploying Java Applets With Family JRE Versions in Java Plug-in for Internet Explorer .
OlsonData 2009a
This release contains Olson time zone data version 2009a. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software .
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API Change
The behavior of the JNDI feature to store and retrieve Java objects in an LDAP directory has been slightly modified.
When storing a Java object in an LDAP directory, the location of the object's class file (its codebase) may be specified. Later, when restoring the original object, its codebase along with additional object data is retrieved from the directory and used by the class loader.
An object's codebase is no longer implicitly trusted. Instead, a new system property called com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase must explicitly be set to the string value true in order for a codebase to be used. Otherwise, the codebase will be ignored by the class loader when restoring a Java object, and only those class files that appear on the classpath will be recognized.
Java Management Extensions(JMX) Change
In a JMX access property file, the readwrite access no longer allows the remote createMBean and unregisterMBean operations. These must now be provided explicitly via new clauses.
The default jmxremote.access file of the JRE ($JRE_HOME/lib/management/jmxremote.access) shows what this looks like:
monitorRole readonly
controlRole readwrite \
create javax.management.monitor.*,javax.management.timer.* \
unregister
CORBA Memory Leak Fix - Special Note
This update release and revision 5.0u16-rev-b12 and subsequent updates and revisions contain a fix for 6725987. When using updates and revisions prior to these, an ORB may contain valid references (that is, a memory leak) even after calling its shutdown() and destroy() methods, and it may respond to some method calls.
With this fix, the ORB correctly cleans up and the Garbage Collector can free up the memory held by such references. Incorrect accesses to such references or methods are likely to result in a NullPointerException to the application.
Root Certificates Included
Root Certificates are included in this release. The following root certificates have been added:
* VeriSign TSA Root Cert to the JDK (Refer to 6732157.)
* Two additional T-systems root CA certs (Refer to 6803022.)
* Two Unizeto root certs (Refer to 6803036.)
Bug Fixes
This release contains fixes for one or more security vulnerabilities. For more information, please see Sun Alerts 254569, 254570, 254571, 254608, and 254611.

Changes in 1.5.0_17
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.5.0_17-b04 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 5.0u17.
Security Baseline
This update release specifies the following security baseline:
JRE Family Version Security Baseline 1.4.2 1.4.2_19
For more information about the security baseline, see Deploying Java Applets With Family JRE Versions in Java Plug-in for Internet Explorer .
OlsonData 2008i
This release contains Olson time zone data version 2008i. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software .
Updated UTF-8 Charset Implementation
Due to security concerns, the UTF-8 charset implementation in the JRE has been updated to handle the non-shortest form of UTF-8 byte sequences, and this introduces an incompatibility from previous releases. For example, the byte sequence of 0xc0 0xaf for U+002f, which has the shortest form of 0x2f, is a malformed input to the decoding operation. More details regarding the Non-shortest form of UTF-8 can be found at:
* UTF8-Shortest Form
* UTF8 Specification
Root Certificates Included
Root Certificates are included in this release. The following root certificates have been added:
* Camerfirma root certificates
* T-systems root CA certificate (Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2)
* SwissSign root certificates
