I'm happy to announce Sun's just released Java SE 6 update 12. You can download it from java.sun.com separately or as part of a bundle with Java EE or Netbeans.
So what changed? On a high level, these are the areas of our fucus in this release:
* 64-bit browser support for Java Plugin and Java WebStart
* Enhancements for Java FX
* AWT enhancements
* Windows Server 2008 support
* Performance improvements
* and ... lots of bug fixes
For more details and the change IDs check out the release notes. Before downloading 6u12 make sure you're selecting the right file for your computer's configuration:
"Please note that the 64-bit JRE only works with the 64-bit browser
plug-in, while the 32-bit JRE only works with 32-bit browser plug-in.
If you use both 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will
need to have both 32-bit and 64-bit JRE's installed on your machine."
Hopefully, you'll find these improvements useful, let us know if you encounter any issues and thank you for the feedback during the early access program, it gave us a lot of useful information.
