IcedTea-Web Release Notes

Fix for ITW failing to start with a Deployment RuleSet (DRS) without version specification. With this change, both these rule configurations work as expected:

 
<rule>
    ...
    <action permission="run" />
</rule>

<rule>
    ...
    <action permission="run" version="1.8*" />
</rule>

Removed the hardcoded boot classpath from the logging.

Allow full class names in attributes. With this change, both of these configurations are correct:

 
<application-desc main-class="MyApp">
<application-desc main-class="MyApp.class">
