What's new in this version:

Improve jar file handling:
- Starting with JDK 8u45 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. Synopsis: jnlp app with nested "resource" section fails with NPE on load in jre8u40:
- A jnlp application, with nested tags within a or tag, can throw an NPE. The issue is now fixed. The tag should be used only if the is actually used.
- Deadlock in awt/logging apparently introduced by 8019623
- Socket impls should ignore unsupported proxy types rather than throwing
- Support tzdata2015a
- Parsing JNLP file should not cause download of extensions.
- JavaWS fails with proxy autoconfig due to missing "dnsResolve"
- 32-bit JRE silent install fails on WINDOWS 2008 SERVER 64-bit under System account
- Failed Java web start via IPv6 (Java7u71 or later)
- StringIndexOutOfBoundsException while reading krb5.conf
- parameter_index for type annotation not updated after outer.this added
- JDK 8 schemagen tool does not generate xsd files for enum types
- XSL: Run-time internal error in 'substring()'
- XSL: wrong answer from substring() function
