Fixes over 300 bugs. Did not try to find out how critical they are.
Apparently released Sat, Jan 12, 08. Not sure if it's available for auto update and/or manual DL via Java Control Panel applet in Windows (e.g. XP) yet or not. I got a link to it from ISC.SANS.ORG.
I did offline DL and install. It DID NOT UNINSTALL JRE 1.6 update 3, so I had to uninstall that manually by Win XP Control Panel Add Remove Programs. Apparently, at least for JRE, it does not seem to make a big difference whether you uninstall the old versions before or after installing the newer one. The old one took about 111MB on disk and the new one 137MB, I think.
So far it seems to work on Radar Loop at weather.gov, so I guess it probably did not break anything serious :)
