+<header title="GNU Classpath 0.92 Announcement (2006-08-09)">
+<pre>
+We are proud to announce the release of GNU Classpath 0.92 Bling! Bling!
+
+This is the first release that has a full graphics 2D implemenation
+based on Cairo enabled by default. This enables the use of applications
+like JEdit, FlickrBackup and JFreeChart out of the box. Screenshots of
+CairoGraphics2D in action http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/samples-gnu.html
+
+Also new in this release is the inclusion of an applet viewer
+and plugin that can be embedded in webbrowsers or other applications.
+It works on any platform supported by the various runtimes based on
+GNU Classpath, including 64 bit architectures.
+
+Some other highlights in this release (more extensive list below):
+
+ An alternative awt peer implementation based on Escher that uses the
+ X protocol directly. Various ImageIO providers for png, gif and bmp
+ images. Support for reading and writing midi files and reading .au
+ and .wav files have been added. Various tools and support classes
+ have been added for jar, native2ascii, serialver, keytool, jarsigner.
+ A GConf based util.peers backend has been added. Support for using
+ alternative root certificate authorities with the security and crypto
+ packages. Start of javax.management and runtime lang.managment support.
+ NIO channels now support scatter-gather operations.
+
+GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create
+free core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools
+for the java programming language.
+
+The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed
+at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development
+platforms. For example the GCC (gcj) and Kaffe projects will use the
+developer snapshots as a base for future versions. More projects based
+on GNU Classpath: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html
+
+Also released is classpath-generics-0.92 an experimental branch with
+support for all the new 1.5 language features such as generics and
+enumerations. ECJ, JamVM, IKVM and Cacao are known to support the
+generics release. And you can use it to run Eclipse 3.1 with it to
+develop programs that use the new 1.5 language and core library
+additions. classpath-generics is a work in progress and not as
+extensively tested as our regular releases. But please try it out if
+you want to help us test the new 1.5 support of the core libraries.
+
+The GNU Classpath developers site http://developer.classpath.org/
+provides detailed information on how to start with helping the GNU
+Classpath project and gives an overview of the core class library
+packages currently provided. For each snapshot release generated
+documentation is provided through the GNU Classpath Tools gjdoc
+project. A documentation generation framework for java source
+files used by the GNU project. Full documentation on the currently
+implementated packages and classes can be found at:
+http://developer.classpath.org/doc/

+
+New in release 0.92 (Aug 9, 2006)
+(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
+
+* libjawtgnu.so has been renamed libjawt.so for binary compatibility.
+ libjawt.so should be installed in a VM-specific directory rather
+ than directly in /usr/lib. Proprietary VMs put their libjawt.so
+ implementations in VM-specific directories but search /usr/lib first.
+ If GNU Classpath's libjawt.so is installed in /usr/lib it will create
+ problems for people who use a proprietary VM to run AWT Native
+ Interface applications.
+* The GdkGraphics2D backend has been made the default. There is no
+ longer an explicit dependency on Cairo, the --enable-gtk-cairo
+ configure option is gone, and GTK 2.8 or higher is now required to
+ build the GTK peers.
+* A Mozilla plugin, 'gcjwebplugin', is now included. It introduces a
+ dependency on the Mozilla plugin support headers and libraries.
+* New java implementations of png and gif imageio readers and writers.
+* A tools.texinfo document has been created and now includes
+ documentation about:
+ * appletviewer
+ * gcjwebplugin
+ * jarsigner
+ * keytool
+* Several new tools are now included:
+ * appletviewer
+ * jar
+ * native2ascii
+ * serialver
+ * keytool
+ * jarsigner
+ A new configure option --enable-tool-wrappers causes wrapper
+ binaries to be built for VMs that support the JNI Invocation API.
+* javax.sound.midi providers have been added to read and
+ write standard MIDI files.
+* A javax.sound.sampled .au and .wav file readers have been added.
+* New Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface header, jvmti.h.
+* AWT peers for X Windows based on Escher (a pure java X protocol
+ implementation) have been added. So far it supports AWT 1.1 style
+ Graphics, image loading via ImageIO (PNG, GIF and BMP images in this
+ release), top level components as well as mouse and keyboard input.
+ It is capable of running many Swing applications. Graphics2D and
+ AWT widgets are not yet supported with this peer set.
+* GConf based util.peers backend (see the --enable-gconf-peer and
+ --enable-default-preferences-peer configure options).
+* Support for batch importing trusted certificates for use with ssl
+ connections (see script/import-cacerts.sh).
+* NIO scatter-gather channel support.
+
+Runtime interface changes:
+
+* A new class, VMURLConnection, is used to implement
+ URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream. The reference
+ implementation uses libmagic (and falls back to doing nothing if
+ libmagic is not available).
+* The method gnu.java.io.PlatformHelper.toCanonicalForm() has been
+ replaced with a JNI implementation of VMFile.toCanonicalForm() for
+ GNU/Posix systems.
+* A new class, VMRuntimeMXBeanImpl, is used to implement
+ the low-level support of the runtime management bean.
+ VMs should use it to supply the input arguments and start
+ time of the VM. In addition, one of sun.boot.class.path
+ or java.boot.class.path should be defined by the VM to
+ support the optional boot class path access functionality.
+* The Unsafe class was moved back to the place expected by the JSR 166
+ reference implementation. We've also added a couple other new VM
+ classes to support the JSR 166 code -- sun.reflect.Reflection and
+ sun.reflect.misc.ReflectUtil.
+* Another new class, VMClassLoadingMXBeanImpl, is used to implement
+ the low-level support of the class loading management bean.
+ VMs need to supply it with information about how many classes
+ are currently loaded, how many have been unloaded and whether
+ verbose class loading output is on or off. Provision should also
+ be made for the latter to be toggled at runtime.
+* VMThreadMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
+ of the thread management bean. Providing this interface requires
+ providing a fair amount of information about threads, including
+ optional time and contention monitoring, and instances of the
+ new ThreadInfo class in java.lang.management. getState() has also
+ been added to the VMThread interface; this is required by the bean
+ as well as java.lang.Thread.
+* VMMemoryMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
+ of the memory management bean. Providing this interface requires
+ providing information about the levels of heap and non-heap memory,
+ and the number of objects eligible for garbage collection.
+* VMCompilationMXBeanImpl is used to allow for optional compilation
+ time support for Just-In-Time compilers.
+* VMMemoryPoolMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
+ of the memory pool beans. Providing this interface requires
+ providing memory usage statistics for each supported bean.
+* VMManagementFactory provides the names of the memory pools,
+ memory managers and garbage collectors maintained by the virtual
+ machine. These are used to create the beans by the ManagementFactory.
+* VMMemoryManagerMXBeanImpl and VMGarbageCollectorMXBeanImpl provide
+ low-level support for memory managers (including the specific subclass
+ of garbage collecting memory managers). The interfaces for these
+ require no more than enumerating the number of collections and the
+ time spent (for garbage collectors) and a relationship to the memory
+ pools (for all), along with a validity check.
