Jetbrains
- IDEA 10.5.2 EAP 107.509 - The most important thing to note about this build is that Jetbrains finally tracked down the cause of the problem causing stale error markers to remain in the editor, and we hope that it has now been fixed. So please test and report.
- Source of StarTeam plugin released - whats interesting about this is the mentioning of the Jetbrains Github account which houses a lot of tools, including the Clojure plugin, which is seeing updates/commits here - more so than the old repository I originally knew about. Youtrack-vcs-hooks project looks really interesting.

- Apache Commons Daemon vulnerability - affects Tomcat 7.0 - 7.0.19, Tomcat 6.0.30 - 6.0.32, 5.5.32 - 5.5.33
- Due to a bug in the capabilities code, jsvc (the service wrapper for
- Linux that is part of the Commons Daemon project) does not drop
- capabilities allowing the application to access files and directories
- owned by superuser. This vulnerability only applies if:
- a) Tomcat is running on a Linux operating system
