We are pleased to announce the release of IcedTea 2.5.0, “POWER to the People”!
The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as the ability to build against system libraries and support for alternative virtual machines and architectures beyond those supported by OpenJDK.
This release updates our OpenJDK 7 support with the first release of the 2.5.x series, based on OpenJDK u60. It is the first release to include the PPC64 & AIX port work from SAP & IBM, and also the first not to include the PulseAudio provider, which will now be part of IcedTea-Sound.
If you find an issue with the release, please report it to our bug database 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 release can be found below.
