Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12 is now available.

* Build number: 1.6.0_12-b04
* Download: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/?intcmp=1281
* Release Notes: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u12.html
* Installation Instructions:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnote...all/index.html

If you already have JRE 6 Update 1x installed, there is no longer a need
to uninstall it - Update 12 is an update to this version.

If you have JRE 6 Update 7 or earlier, these must be uninstalled before
or after the Update 12 installation.

Thanks Pat. Haven't seen anything in my auto update, but will check. :-)

There are no security fixes in this update. There's no need to go to this
version unless you are on the newest platforms that it supports better,
which include Server 2008 and 64 bit versions of Windows.

Thanks Bill. I tried going through control panel and Java, but it says I have
the latest, which is 11. Have a good day.

This is because Java Update checks with http://www.java.com/ (rather
than http://java.sun.com/), which is always late with updates - even
critical ones.
