Hello!

There is bug-fixes dedicated release of ITW:

The docs of 1.6.2 are at
http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/icedtea-web-docs/1.6.2/html/ (As
usually ....

After the build, you may find new, not installed metadata directory,
where are gnome-software and maven artefacts (yes, itw had become
someone's dependence :) ) Feel free to use or not use them at all.

Also please, I'm strongly encouraging all packagers, to move theirs
distros to 1.6.2. I'm closing bugs which are working with 1.6.2 as
"works". 1.5 will not get any other update unless some security flaw is
found.  Also although there were few regressions between 1.5 and 1.6,
they all should begone now.

Also - if your distro already dropped or deprecated  NPAPPI try to point
users to ITW's javaws -html switch. I think the global knowledge of this
switch is really small. Its not all mighty, but should cover the
minority of applets which deserves to survive fail of NPAPI.

My special thanks are going to all who helped to test prerelease:
	Thomas Mayer
	J. Franz
	Neon
and
  Doko (To who I stormed with "Hey can you build me 1.6.2pre  ubuntu
  packages... and he just did... 
TYVM!)

Best regards from CZ
