Changelog: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u60-relnotes-2200106.html
Java SE Development Kit 7, Update 60 (JDK 7u60)
The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_60-b19 (where "b" means "build"). The version number is 7u60.
Highlights
This update release contains several enhancements and changes including the following:
Java Mission Control
New Features and Changes
IANA Data 2014b
JDK 7u60 contains IANA time zone data version 2014b. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
JavaFX
This JDK release includes JavaFX version 2.2.60.
Java Mission Control
This JDK release includes Java Mission Control(JMC) version 5.3. For more information, see JMC 5.3 Release Notes.
New Features and Changes
Java ignores deployment.expiration.check.enabled property for first launch
If you have an older version of Java and expiration check is turned off through deployment.properties file, Java may ignore this property for first launch.
To ensure that expiration check is disabled, use the following Java Web Start command:
javaws -userConfig deployment.expiration.check.enabled false
If this property is changed in the deployment.properties file, open the Java Control Panel before starting an application to ensure that the native cache is synchronized with the file. For more information, see Deployment Configuration File and Properties.
New flags added to Java Management API
The flags MinHeapFreeRatio and MaxHeapFreeRatio have been made manageable. This means they can be changed at runtime using the management API in Java. Support for these flags have also been added to the ParallelGC as part of the adaptive size policy.
Bug Fixes
For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 7u60 Bug Fixes page.
The following are some of the notable bug fixes in this release:
Area: security-libs/java.security
Synopsis: Realm.getRealmsList returns realms list in wrong order
Java does not support the [capaths] section in krb5.conf correctly if there are more then one intermediate realm between the client realm and the server realm.
See 8012615.
Changelog:
JavaFX Release Notes
JavaFX is now part of JDK. JDK 7u55 release includes JavaFX version 2.2.55.
New Features and Changes
The frequency of some security dialogs has been reduced on systems that run the same RIA multiple times.
See 8029649.
Using "*" in Caller-Allowable-Codebase Attribute.
If a stand-alone asterisk (*), or asterisk as part of a top level domain such as (*.org), is specified as the value for the Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute, then calls from JavaScript code to the RIA will show a security warning. An option to remember the choice is also provided, and if the user selects the option to remember the choice to run the RIA, no further warning messages are shown for the same RIA, when run with JavaScript from the same source.
For more information, see JAR File Manifest Attributes for Security documentation.
See 8033707.
Disabling Sponsor Offers in the Java Installer
During the installation of Java, users may be presented with the option of downloading and installing sponsor offers, such as browser add-ons, or security software. With 7u55 and later releases of Java, sponsor offers can be bypassed entirely by using "SPONSORS=0" as an option, when installing Java via the command line:
Manually download the 32bit online installer for 7u55 to your local machine.
Click the Windows Start Button/Menu. From the available Menu choices, select the 'Search box' and enter the text "command" in it.
A list of matches will appear. Select 'Command Prompt' from the available Programs list.
Navigate to the folder containing the downloaded installer, e.g.:
cd c:\Users\<username>\Downloads
To start the installation, in the Command Prompt window type:
jre-7u55-windows-i586-iftw.exe SPONSORS=0
The option to disable sponsors will persist across all future updates and re-installs of Java.
Note that sponsor offers, and therefore this functionality, is only applicable to online 32bit JRE installers and Auto Update mechanisms for the Windows operating system.
