Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Bulletins. This JRE (version 7u221) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 16, 2019. This JRE (version 7u51) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for April 15, 2014. This JRE (version 7u85) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 20, 2015.
The javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler interface provides services to support the reading and writing of value types to GIOP streams. The security awareness of these utilities has been enhanced with the introduction of a permission java.io.SerializablePermission(« enableCustomValueHanlder »). This is used to establish a trust relationship between the users of the javax.rmi.CORBA.Util and javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler APIs.

The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u21 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u25 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u40 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u45 BPR releases.
In addition to the language changes, other changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one (for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see Java backporting tools).

Java 15 updates
Android incorporated parts of the Harmony project, supplemented with Google’s own Dalvik virtual machine and ART. Apache Harmony has since been retired, and Google has switched its Harmony components with equivalent ones from OpenJDK. Prior to the release of OpenJDK, while Sun’s implementation was still proprietary, the GNU Classpath project was created to provide a free and open-source implementation of the Java platform. Visual J++ and the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine were created as incompatible implementations.

- Note also that these system properties are currently supported by the JDK Reference Implementation.
- The restrictions are enforced in the JDK implementation (the SunJSSE Provider) of the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) API.
- For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 7u79 Bug Fixes page.
- This JRE (version 7u191) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 16, 2018.
With this release, the name of the ZipEntry instance returned from java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() always ends with / for any zip directory entry. Java DB, also known as Apache Derby, has been removed in this release. Please note that fixes from prior BPR (7u181 b31) are included in this version. These exceptions are not re-thrown, so the client may not be informed that integrity checks failed.
Code examples for new features in Java 1.7
Starting with JDK 7u79 release, the jar tool no longer allows the leading slash « / » and « .. » (dot-dot) path component in zip entry file name when creating new and/or extracting from zip and jar file. If needed, the new command line option « -P » should be used explicitly to preserve the dot-dot and/or absolute path component. JAR files signed with jarsigner from Java SE 1.4 or earlier versions, will not be signed properly when they contain resource files in META-INF, such as license docs or images. The full internal version number for this update release is 1.7.0_04-b20 (where « b » means « build ») except for Windows on which it is 1.7.0_04-b22 and for Mac OS X on which it is 1.7.0_04-b21. For release notes on versions greater than 1.7.0_80 please visit the Java SE 7 Advanced and Java SE 7 Support release notes. The javax.rmi.CORBA.Util class provides methods that can be used by stubs and ties to perform common operations.
Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 7u80) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 14, 2015. This JRE (version 7u79) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 14, 2015.
The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_121-b15 (where « b » means « build »). RMI Registry and Distributed Garbage Collection use the mechanisms of JEP 290 Serialization Filtering to improve service robustness. RMI Registry and DGC implement built-in white-list filters for the typical classes expected to be used with each service. Additional filter patterns can be configured using either a system property or a security property. The « sun.rmi.registry.registryFilter » and « sun.rmi.transport.dgcFilter » property pattern syntax is described in JEP 290 and in /lib/security/java.security. The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_131-b12 (where « b » means « build »).
- The keytool and jarsigner tools have been updated to warn users when weak cryptographic algorithms are used in keys, certificates, and signed JARs before they are disabled.
- This JRE (version 7u181) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 17, 2018.
- The full version string for this update release is 1.7.0_131-b12 (where « b » means « build »).
- The workaround is to use the java_version applet parameter or the version attribute of the Java element in JNLP file instead.
- RC4-based cipher suites have been deactivated by default in the SunJSSE implementation by adding the « RC4 » identifier to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property.
- Following the JDK’s update to tzdata2020b, the long-obsolete files named pacificnew and systemv have been removed.
For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 7u351 Bug Fixes page. The default MAC algorithm used in a PKCS #12 keystore has been updated. The new algorithm is based on SHA-256 and is stronger than the old one based on SHA-1. Most applications using client tcp sockets and a security manager will not see any problem, as these typically bind to ephemeral ports anyway.
