Thanks for the heads up and I used the java control panel to perform the update.

Java 7 Update 72 is not officially out. When I run a test at:
http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

It says I have the latest version.

It looks like update 72 is available on the JDK page.

In any case, pay attention to small checkdots during install lest Java will screw up your home page with Yahoo.

When I check my java control panel app it says that I've already got the latest version.

Can't say, berryracer found it on the Oracle web site .. probably still a beta version

 

[Puffnstuff]

Java just released update 8.73 if you're interested.

Thanks, just did the update and also updated thread title to show v73

Pisses me off when I have to change the temp files cache from the default 32768 MB. Yes, 32GB. For every user account. Can't Sun give a command line install flag that will set the default cache size to custom specified (for every user account)? I always delete the 32 and limit to 768MB.

Sounds like a major bug fix update
