Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce AspectJ 1.9.7 is released.
To read more about the enhancements (like Java 15 and 16 support), take a look at the readme here <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/blob/master/docs/dist/doc/README-197.html> . The most serious change in 1.9.7 is actually to the project infrastructure. I want to thank Alexander Kriegisch who has spent a significant amount of effort on AspectJ 1.9.7 bringing it into the 21st century and making the repository more approachable for new developers. This includes tackling perhaps the most difficult problem which is how we manage the patch we make to the Eclipse Compiler for Java in order to add AspectJ support. Rather than a manually patched repo that was dropped as a binary into AspectJ, the patched JDT Core is now a project in its own right: https://github.com/eclipse/aspectj.eclipse.jdt.core. This repo can now be kept up to date via regular git commands, and is now consumed as a proper dependency by AspectJ. If you want to get to grips with developing AspectJ, I encourage you to checkout the repository readme <https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/blob/master/README.md>. We are also now all in on GitHub. With 1.9.7 AspectJ is not a mirror of an eclipse git repository, it is now a real repository against which pull requests can be filed and processed. As part of this move we are also fully embracing GitHub issues (rather than bugzilla) - so please raise anything at GitHub in the future. You can grab the standalone installer from the AspectJ releases page at GitHub: https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/releases/tag/V1_9_7 And finally, the release is up at maven central ! Enjoy! The AspectJ Team
