contains OpenJFX 8u202 with security fixes (only one patch [4])
backported from OpenJFX 13 [5]

- WebStart is updated to IcedTea-Web 1.8

- WebStart launch options are now read from a config file

- installer now allows to keep WebStart settings and cache on update
(only relevant for updates from 8u212 and up)

- WebStart is included into ZIP bundles ("webstart" directory), it can
be used to launch JNLPs from command line
