Sun heeft voor zowel de development kit als voor de runtime environment alweer de elfde update uitgebracht voor Java Standard Edition 6.0. De versieaanduiding is vastgesteld op 6.0 update 11 en het exacte versienummer is op 1.6.0_11-b03 komen te liggen. De ontwikkelaars hebben de beveiliging van verschillende onderdelen verbeterd en een lijstje met bugs verholpen. De lijst met veranderingen voor deze elfde update ziet er als volgt uit:
Changes in 1.6.0_11
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.6.0_11-b03 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 6u11.
OlsonData 2008i
This release contains Olson time zone data version 2008i. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
Security Baseline
This update release specifies the following security baselines for use with the original Java Plug-in technology:
JRE Family Version 5.0 - Security Baseline 1.5.0_17
JRE Family Version 1.4.2 - Security Baseline 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.
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 and UTF8 Specification.
OpenSolaris is Now Supported
Note that fonts for Asian locales currently are not supported. Refer to 6767175 for details.
Windows Runtime Environment Installation (Patch-in-place vs. Static)
As of JDK 6u10, patch-in-place installation is the default, and the JRE installs itself in a directory called jre6. Previously, it would have installed itself in a directory called jre1.6.0_10. That is, by default, the jre6 directory is patched with the updated version. You can chose to statically install a JRE (for example, either 6u10 or 6u11) by means of the installer interface. For details, refer to Java Runtime Environment Windows Installation for JavaSE 6u10.
Root Certificates Included
Root Certificates are included in this release. The following root certificates have been added:Bug Fixes
- Camerfirma root certificates
- T-systems root CA certificate (Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2)
This release contains fixes for one or more security vulnerabilities. For more information, please see Sun Alerts 244986, 244987, 244988, 244989, 244990, 244991, 244992, 245246, 246266, 246286, 246346, 246366, and 246387.
