The Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) Common Data Format (CDF) libraries 
hosted at <A HREF="http://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/skteditor/cdf/"> http://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/skteditor/cdf/ </A> 
have been updated.  This packaging of CDF is done as a convenience for Java 
applications that require the CDF library and are deployed as Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) Web Start 
applications.  Multiple applications (both NASA and non-NASA) use this one set 
of libraries. This update will appear as version 3.2.1a when viewed as a Web 
Start library/resource.  It reports a CDF version of 3.2.1.  End users are not 
expected to notice any functional difference.  Users of applications like 
<A HREF="http://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/skteditor/"> SKTeditor </A> should 
automatically (subject to Web Start's less than expected 
behavior) receive this update.  The following describes the difference 
between this release and the previous 3.2.1 release.
<H2>Microsoft Windows</H2>
<UL>
   <LI> No difference (exactly the same JAR file).  The original 3.2.1 release 
for this platform still contained a vulnerability and was quickly overwritten 
with an update.  The two 3.2.1 versions were indistinguishable based upon 
displayed version information.
</UL>
<H2>Linux (x86), Mac OS X (ppc, x86), and Solaris (x86, SPARC)</H2>
<UL>   
    <LI> Built from <A HREF="ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/cdf/dist/cdf32_1/unix/cdf32_1-dist-all.tar.gz"> ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/cdf/dist/cdf32_1/unix/cdf32_1-dist-all.tar.gz </A> (dated 05/08/08).  No functional difference 
was observed between this and the previous build (built from 
cdf32-dist-all.tar.gz dated 05/02/08) but this update restores synchronization 
with Microsoft platforms.
   <LI> The Mac OS X PPC build was performed on an actual 10.4.11 PPC system.  
The previous build was performed as a cross-compile from a 10.5 x86 system.  
The cross-compile never successfully completed the entire CDF build but seemed 
to build the piece needed for this.
</UL>
<B> Note: </B> not yet support 
<UL>
  <LI>64-bit libraries on Mac OS X (Java 1.6).
  <LI>newer JAR compression options (e.g., pack200) due to server content negotiation issues with Apache 1.x.
</UL>

procedure for other platforms should be answered in the README file contained 
in the corresponding JAR file.  If the README file doesn't answer your build
