Release 2.07.04

Release date: 11/12/2017

This is a purely technical release, needed to prolong GECAMed's Java Code Signing Certificate for one more year. Functionally the 2.07.04 is identicall to the 2.07.03 release - no new features or bug fixes are included, and Java 9 compatibility is not provided.

It is important that you upgrade GECAMed before January 15, 2018!

Passed that date, older versions than the 2.07.04 will be blocked by Java Security, if you are using Java Webstart to launch the GECAMed clients (the default start method). Basically that means you won't be able to start the GECAMed client as before.

As an alternative to upgrading GECAMed now, you can also install a local GECAMed client on your workstation. This avoids Java Webstart completely, but also has some disadvantages: clients on different workstations are no longer updated automatically after upgrading the GECAMed server, and therefore need to be reinstalled manually on every work station where they are needed.

See http://www.gecamed.lu/faq/general/client_installation for instructions on the manual client installation.

After upgrading to the new version 2.07.04, you will see the following warning during client startup because of the changed publisher certificate:
