 CHANGES

+
+1.6.0 Build 19 Beta 2 (2011-01-12)
+
+  - Added a predefined font configuration file to use the Liberation font family
+    as Java system fonts (see README.OS2 for details).
+
+  - Added the jawt.lib library to the SDK package.
+
+  - Added some missing GUI and audio classes to rt.jar.
+
+  - Fixed: Java could not find a .jar file in the current directory when
+    starting it with 'java -jar filename.jar'.
+
+  - Fixed: Non-ASCII characters in the title bar of any Java window would be
+    drawn using wrong glyphs.
+
+  - Fixed: Java could incorrectly detect the default object heap size on some
+    systems for some specific VIRTUALADDRESS values and abort at startup with a
+    "Could not reserve enough space for object heap" error message.
+
+  - Fixed: java.io.File.mkdirs() wouild always fail which would in particular
+    abort the installation process of some applications such as jEdit, iTrain
+    (this bug was actually fixed in Odin).
+
+  - Fixed: An attempt to use Drag & Drop in any Java application would cause
+    a Java exception and program termination.
