GNU Classpatchy 0.17 released.
|
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
We are pleased to announce a new developer snapshot of GNU Classpath.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create free
|
| 21 |
|
|
core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools for the
|
| 22 |
|
|
java programming language.
|
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed
|
| 25 |
|
|
at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development
|
| 26 |
|
|
platforms. For example the GCC (gcj) and Kaffe projects will use the
|
| 27 |
|
|
developer snapshots as a base for future versions.
|
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
This is mainly a bug fix release for issues found with eclipse 3.1 and
|
| 30 |
|
|
Free Swing applications just after our 0.16 release. But it also
|
| 31 |
|
|
includes some exciting new features.
|
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
Some highlights of changes in this release (more extensive list below):
|
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
XML DOM, XPATH and XSL fixes. Free Swing is much more responsive.
|
| 36 |
|
|
JInternalFram, JTree, JMenu, JTable, JButton and JFileChooser fixes.
|
| 37 |
|
|
FileChannel lock and force implementations added. The logging
|
| 38 |
|
|
FileHandler now rotates files. Clean locking and namespace for gtkpeer
|
| 39 |
|
|
library. System call interrupts and timeouts are now handled correctly
|
| 40 |
|
|
for net and nio. Corba bug fixes. Lots of documentation updates. The
|
| 41 |
|
|
VM Integration Guide now comes with a full section on the VM/Classpath
|
| 42 |
|
|
hooks. GNU Classpath Examples now includes a Tree World demo.
|
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
