Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 15 released, security fix

I downloaded that yesterday and this morning the system had crashed, coincidence maybe
                     I had to do a roll back to Sat to get up and running.

No issues here talos, I updated last night just before the IDNet cgap authentication issues, hope its just a coincidence  but no crash is a good thing, what does the dump say caused it?

How is it when a update for Firefox comes out everyone goes yipee and when a update for IE comes everyone says Microsoft should have tested it properly before releasing it.

This is Java, though, Den. TBH, I don't go yipee anymore at software releases, instead I think "Why the hell didn't they get it right in the first place?".

Ive no idea, didn't even look, not that I would understand if I did.  I just swore a lot and went for a working configuration with roll back.  It just seemed very strange as Jarva was the only update in ages.  I can only say thank you Vista for the easy get out, if I was still on 98 I'd be working on it now

Me too. Like the recent release of Wordpress. It was supposedly the best version, and finished. Within days there was a security update. I'm getting fed up of updating my site!

[Rik]

It's become a pain, hasn't it, Niall. I seem to spend as much time maintaining the computers as using them.

Seb will kick himself when he gets back from holiday and finds he missed it.

[Simon]

I'm sure he'll find it somewhere. 

[Rik]

Maybe we should email him?

[Gary]

Maybe we should email him?

Just tell him his Mac is vulnerable and there are patches he will be worried all holiday 

[Rik]

 

I might just do that...

Thanks Noreen 

[Rik]

Yipee, More updates.

[Noreen]

I'm glad that I've now learned to update from inside the program.

[Rik]

It is easier, isn't it.

Java Runtime update 16 has been released, now! 

[Rik]

Odd it's telling me I have the latest version at 15, Gary.

Its definitely there Rik  http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp its not a security update just a bugfix so therefore it won't show up via the updater as v15 has all the security fixes

[Rik]

In that case, I'll let you test it, Gary.

[Gary]

In that case, I'll let you test it, Gary.

Well it works fine, Rik its v 15 that has the bug, v16 replaces v 15 is you were to download it now, but 15 is secure.    maybe there is tamijava 

[Rik]

There's always Tammy Wynette.

[Gary]

There's always Tammy Wynette.
