Francis is fixing some IcedTea bugs exposed by the
Batik testsuite.
I've just committed a patch into IcedTea that significantly improves our
performance against the Batik testsuite. A few small rendering problems
remain (see
http://iced-tea.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64), but by and
large it should all work now.
I missed the IcedTea 1.3 release by a day, but it's in the mercurial
repository and should be included in the next release.
Cheers,
Francis
