IcedTea probably will support the 2.3 branch a bit longer, however the 2.3 branch does include two hotspot versions (one for Hotspot, and one for Zero). I would prefer to only update testing/unstable to a 2.x version, if Zero builds with a current Hotspot version. > Are there currently security fixes missing in unstable in comparison to > experimental? both unstable and experimental were missing the latest updates. now uploaded 2.1.7-1 to unstable.
