# OlsonData 2010l
- Java SE 6u23 contains Olson time zone data version 2010l.

# Java Hotspot VM 19.0
- Java SE 6u23 includes version 19.0 of the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine with improvements to overall performance and reliability.

# Java VisualVM 1.3.1
Java VisualVM based on VisualVM 1.3.1 is included in Java SE 6u23. This release introduces the following features and enhancements:
- Added Java version and vendor information to the application Overview view
- Built on NetBeans Platform and profiler 6.9.1

# Menu Item Corrections for Right-to-Left Languages
- Several bugs in the non-default alignment and text orientation for the menu items in Swing have been fixed, as this is particularly important for right-to-left languages such as Arabic.
- Another issue corrected is the position of the icon and the text. For the non-default positions the text used to overlap the icon in a menu item, this is no longer the case.
- All platform Look and Feel configurations will now handle menu items in right-to-left language situations. These fixes have been tested through their inclusion in the JDK 7 development release, but this is the first time they have been available via JDK 6.

# Additional Languages Support in Linux Systems
- Added support for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11 on Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, and Korean locales.

* OlsonData 2010l
- Java SE 6u22 contains Olson time zone data version 2010l. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.

* Root Certificates
- Added new Entrust Root CA-G2 and updated Entrust.net CA (2048) root certificates. (Refer to 6959911.)
- Add a new host name forward map entry (in /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS) in a special form which is recognized by Java for the purpose of validating IPv4 and IPv6 name service mappings.
- The IPv4 general name form followed by an /etc/hosts file fragment example for IP address 10.11.12.13 is:

host.auth.ddd.ccc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa
# /etc/hosts example
10.11.12.13 foo.bar.com.auth.13.12.11.10.in-addr.arpa

- Pre-pend a fully qualified host name before other mappings to the same address. For example, in /etc/hosts format:

10.11.12.13 foo loghost
10.11.12.13 foo.bar.com foo loghost

* Bug Fixes
- fixes for security vulnerabilities.

# Various Bug Fixes

# OlsonData 2010b

- 6u20 contains Olson time zone data version 2010b

# Changes

# Ensuring Application and Applet Security when Mixing Signed and Unsigned Code
* Signed Java Web Start applications and applets that contain signed and unsigned components could potentially be unsafe unless the mixed code was intended by the application vendor. As of this release, when mixed code is detected in a program, a warning dialog is raised. Mixing Signed and Unsigned Code explains this warning dialog and options that the user, system administrator, developer, and deployer have to manage it.
