Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: OpenJDK6 1.6.0-b22 RC2

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++ 

From: ecsDESPAM at DESPAMaroa.ch

The latest version of OpenJDK 6 is 1.6.0-b22 RC2 released on 28.03.2011. This is a second release candidate version that fixes a number of bugs in the previous release candidate as well as updates OpenJDK to beta 22.  

You also need the newest Odin with this OpenJDK6.    

 

From the OpenJDK6 changelog:  

- Updated OpenJDK sources to b22  

- Fixed and improved system tray support   

- Fixed: Sound did not work in LIBPATHSTRICT=T mode (Odin bug).  

- Fixed: SIGABRT that would unexcpectedly terminate some Java applications, e.g. IzPack based installers (GCC compiler bug).  

- Fixed: Crash during Drag'n'Drop operations in some Java applications, e.g. JAlbum (Odin bug).  

- Fixed DLL loading code in the JVM that would print a useless message when one of the required DLLs is not found.  

 - A bunch of smaller fixes in Odin libraries that should improve OpenJDK  behavior.  

 

From the Odin changelog:  

- general: Workaround the OS/2 loader bug in LIBPATHSTRICT=T mode   

- general: A big bunch of fixes (headers and so on) for SDK mode.   

- odincrt: Fixed a tiny typo in DosQueryModuleHandleStrict() that could sometimes cause 100% CPU load at application startup   

- kernel32: VirtualQuery: Succeed with MEM_FREE for one page when querying an unallocated address in the private arena   

- kernel32: Report ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND from LoadLibrary() when it fails to load a DLL due to missing import modules, to mimic Win32 behavior.   

- tools/wrc: Restored generating GAS output by default. MASM output is now generated by specifying the -M option.   

- shell32: Shell_NotifyIcon(): Create a copy of the supplied icon because the caller may DestroyIcon() on it at any time (which would cause systray to display an empty rectangle). This matches Windows behavior.   

- shell32: Implemented support for xsystray (Extended System Tray widget for XCenter) which provides more functionality (in particular, "TaskbarCreated" message broadcasting).
