+<boxitem>
+We are proud to announce the release of GNU Classpath 0.95 "Take Five"
+<p>
+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.
+<p>
+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:
+<createlink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html";>
+<p>
+<p>
+This release adds some serious jazz (more extensive list below):
+<blockquot>
+ Full merge of 1.5 generics work. Bootstrappable with OpenJDK javac
+ compiler. URLConnection timeout support. TimeZone can use platform
+ zoneinfo file when available. The Collection classes, lang.management
+ and util.spi have been updated to 1.6. Addition of 1.6 ServiceLoader.
+ Speedup for cairo and freetype Graphics2D support. The ASM library
+ is now included. Better detection of browser plugin mechanisms for
+ gcjwebplugin applet support in mozilla, iceweasel and firefox.
+</blockquote>
+Screenshots of applications (eclipse, jedit, jfreechart, "jgecko",
+statcvs and more) working out of the box with GNU Classpath can be
+found at <createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/screenshots/";>
+<p>
+This release switches fully towards the 1.5 generics work that we
+previously released separately as classpath-generics. All this work is
+now fully integrated in the main release and various runtimes (gcj,
+cacao, jamvm, ikvm, etc) have been extended to take advantage of the
+new generics, annotations and enumeration support in the core
+library. From now on we intend to no longer release both a
+non-generics and a generics version. But if there is demand we might
+consider resurrecting the non-generics 1.4 branch with selected
+bug-fixes (depending on having a branch maintainer). Work is on the
+way to also add the new 1.6 additions, a start for selected packages
+has been made in this release.
+<p>
+On November 13 2006 (now known as Java Liberation Day) Sun decided to
+start releasing all its Java ME, SE and EE implementations under the
+GPL. http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/ For the last decade
+the GNU Classpath community has worked together with various other
+free software projects to help people avoid the so called "Java Trap"
+<createlink url="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html";>
+As the FSF press release
+welcoming the Sun announcement said: 'Now, Sun has begun disarming the
+"Java Trap", turning it from a pitfall into a valuable foundation for
+future free software development.'
+<createlink url="http://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-welcomes-gpl-java.html";>
+<p>
+This release supports compiling and running the GPL OpenJDK javac
+compiler using GNU Classpath based runtimes and compilers and to
+compile the GNU Classpath core libraries, tools and examples with the
+OpenJDK javac compiler itself. Making it a full bootstrap compiler for
+GNU Classpath and related projects. We hope to extend support and work
+together with the OpenJDK community over time.
+<p>
+The GNU Classpath developers site
+<createlink url="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.
+<p>
+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: <createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/doc/";>
+<p>
+Since gjdoc does not yet fully support all the new 1.5 language
+additions used in this version of GNU Classpath the documentation has
+also been generated using the GPL project sinjdoc which doesn't
+provide all the features gjdoc has (-linksource, -licensetext,
+-validhtml, @Link support in comments in particular) but has a better
+1.5 language parser: <createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/sinjdoc/";>
+<p>
+We are looking into how to extend the documentation experience based
+on these two tools in the future. Please contact the mailinglist if
+you like to help with this effort.

+
+New in release 0.95 (Apr 23, 2007)
+(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
+
+* Full merge of 1.5 generics work.
+* Added 1.6 java.util.ServiceLoader support.
+* The ASM library is now included. A separate copy is no longer
+ needed. gjavah works out of the box now.
+* The setReadTimeout and getReadTimeout methods have been added to
+ java.net.URLConnection. They are now fully implemented for http URLs.
+* The java.lang.management implementation now includes the new features
+ added in 1.6
+* java.util.TimeZone now reads time zone information from the system
+ zoneinfo files (see also runtime interface changes below).
+* The collection classes have been updated to support all the 1.6
+ additions.
+* java.util.spi 1.6 package has been added and is used in java.text.
+* Bootstrappable with OpenJDK javac compiler
+ (use configure --with-javac).
+* Large speedups (and locking behaviour updated) in Graphics2D cairo
+ and freetype support.
+* Better detection of browser plugin mechanism for mozilla, iceweasel,
+ firefox on various platforms.
+* Inclusion of generic javadoc classes in tools.zip to support more
+ javadoc processing tools.
+* Added documentation for command lines options for the included GNU
+ Classpath Tools gjar, gjavah, gnative2ascii, gorbd, grmid,
+ grmiregistry, gserialver and gtnameserv.
+
+Runtime interface changes:
+
+* gnu.java.lang.management.VMThreadMXBeanImpl has gained three new
+ optional native methods to allow the 1.6 version of the threading
+ bean to be supported. One (getMonitorInfo) fills in information
+ about object monitor locks held by a thread and is only required
+ if the monitoring of object monitor locks is supported by the VM.
+ The other two (findDeadlockedThreads and getLockInfo) are related
+ to ownable synchronizers (part of the java.util.concurrent suite)
+ and only required if monitoring of locks relating to these is
+ supported by the VM.
+* java.util.VMTimeZone and java.util.TimeZone have been refactored
+ to simplify the reference implementation. VMTimeZone.readtzFile()
+ and VMTimeZone.skipFully() have been removed, and a new method
+ VMTimeZone.readSysconfigClockFile() has been introduced.
+* VMs need to set the system property "gnu.java.util.zoneinfo.dir"
+ to point to the directory where zoneinfo files live. In libgcj
+ this is set to the value of the TZDATA environment variable, or
+ "/usr/share/zoneinfo" if this is not set.
+* VMFile has been extended to support new 1.6 methods (canExecute,
+ setReadable, setWritable, setExecutable).
