Bug Description

IcedTea-Web 1.1 released
Posted on June 8, 2011 by dbhole

IcedTea-Web 1.1 is now out and available for download! The new release includes many improvements over 1.0 and they include:

New features:

    IcedTea-Web now installs to a FHS-compliant location
    Binary launchers have been replaced with simple shell scripts
    Proxy Auto Config files are now usable
    Applications using jnlp.versionEnabled and jnlp.packEnabled are now supported
    Can now use codebase_lookup=false with applets
    itweb-settings now supports clearing cache

Fixes:

    Common:
        Mercurial revision detection (when building) is now more reliable
        Apps calling loadClass get a proper a ClassNotFoundException if class is not found, rather than a null value
        Applets and JNLP apps using SSL/TLS now function correctly

    Web Start implementation (javaws):
        The Web Start implementation can now use proxy settings from Firefox
        Web Start applications now use the correct default browser set by the user
        Closing javaws -about no longer throws exceptions
        Cache files are removed properly

    Plug-in:
        Applets from the same page to use the same classloader (MS LiveMeeting, www.uk.map24.com, etc.)
        NetDania banking application now works
        Sound now works with runescape.com
        Firefox 4 no longer freezes if the applet calls showDocument()
        Firefox 4 and chromium stability has been vastly improved with a rewrite of the plug-in threading model
