Changes in 1.4.2_14

The official version number for this update release is 1.4.2_14-b05.

US Daylight Savings Time Sun Alert 102836

Bug 6530336 that was part of Sun Alert 102836, has been fixed in this release. As a result, it is no longer necessary to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag to work around this bug. Bug 6466476, that was also part of Sun Alert 102836 has not yet been fixed. If your application uses the deprecated java.util.Timezone IDs and is sensitive to the behavior outlined in 6466476, you will still need to run the tzupdater tool with the -bc flag as a work-around. Note that running tzupdater with the -bc flag does not hinder the fix for 6530336 in any way.

This release contains Olson time zone data version 2007a. If you need the latest Olson data (currently 2007c) in order to accommodate the America/Indiana/Winamac changes (see US Daylight Savings Time Changes and the Java SE Platform: FAQ (Appendix)), then you will need to run the tzupdater (with -bc flag as appropriate) after installing this release. Please see Sun Java SE JDK tzupdater Tool for more information on how to do this.

Changes in 1.4.2_09

 The official version number for this update release is 1.4.2_09-b05.

Notes

  • Serviceability Improvements - Update release 1.4.2_09 includes the following serviceability improvement backports from JDK 5.0:
    • When a fatal error occurs, an error log is created in the file hs_err_pid<pid>.log (where <pid> is the process id of the process). Where possible, the file is created in the working directory of the process. In the event that the file cannot be created in the working directory (insufficient space, permission problem, or other issue) then the file is created in the temporary directory for the operating system. On Solaris and Linux, the temporary directory is /tmp. On Windows, the temporary directory is specified by the value of the TMP environment variable, or if that is not defined, the value of the TEMP environment variable. The error log contains a lot of information obtained at the time of the fatal error. Where possible it includes:
      • the operating exception or signal that provoked the fatal error
      • version and configuration information
      • details on the thread that provoked the fatal error and its stack trace
      • the list of running threads and their state
      • summary information about the heap
      • the list of native libraries loaded
      • command line arguments
      • environment variables
      • details about the operating system and cpu
      For more details, see Section 2.2.1 of the JDK 5.0 Troubleshooting Guide ).
    • For Solaris OS only, the experimental jmap utility from JDK5.0 has been backported to 1.4.2_09. See jmap utility.
