7u79 Update Release Notes

• Update Release Notes Index

Java™ SE Development Kit 7, Update 7 (JDK 7u7)

The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_07-b10 (where "b" means "build") except for Windows on which it is 1.7.0_07-b11 and the version number is 7u7.

The vulnerabilities addressed by this security release do not affect the demos and samples code. Therefore there is no need to update Demos and Samples as long as the JDK itself is updated to version 7u7.

The JDK for Linux on ARM is not covered by this security alert and therefore 7u6 remains as the latest JDK version available for Linux on ARM.

The JavaFX version included with the Mac and Linux bundles is incorrectly labeled as JavaFX 2.2.1-ea-b02. This JavaFX release, although labeled as “ea”, is a fully supported GA release.
