-Starting with this release MagicPlot application executable is signed by developer. Note that on Mac OS the company name is displayed as 'MEDZHIKPLOT SISTEMS, OOO' instead 'Magicplot Systems, LLC' due to transliteration issues.+===== Bundled Java =====
  
-MagicPlot nor more uses 'public' Java installed in the Windows and Mac OS X operating system. Java runtime environment (v12 or later) is now bundled with the executable.+MagicPlot 2.9 and future releases **do no more need Oracle Java** installed as a standalone application on Windows and Mac OS X. Open-source Java ([[https://adoptopenjdk.net|AdoptOpenJDK]] build) is now packed within MagicPlot bundle. This is why the distributive became larger. 
 + 
 +==== For users of previous MagicPlot versions (v. 2.8.2 and earlier) ==== 
 + 
 +You probably have Oracle Java installed which is not used by the new MagicPlot release. Please note that the Oracle Java License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019 (Java 8 Update 211). The new license permits certain uses, such as personal use and development use, at no cost -- but other uses authorized under prior Oracle Java licenses may no longer be available. See [[https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/oracle-jdk-faqs.html|Oracle Java SE Licensing FAQ]]. You may consider uninstalling Oracle Java from your computer if it is not used by other applications. 
 + 
 +===== Signing ===== 
 + 
 +Starting with this release MagicPlot application executable is digitally signed by the developer. Note that in Mac OS build of MagicPlot the company name in the signature is displayed as 'MEDZHIKPLOT SISTEMS, OOO' instead of 'Magicplot Systems, LLC' due to transliteration issues. MagicPlot 2.9 release is currently not submitted for notarization by Apple and the appropriate warning message may appear on the first run.
