New in release 0.98
+* Native support for BigInteger is now provided using the GMP
+library. A new option, --enable/disable-gmp is provided, and
+the option is enabled by default if GMP is found.
+* Classpath now makes use of a new StringBuilder implementation
+internally called CPStringBuilder. In addition to being
+unsynchronised, like StringBuilder, this also avoids copying the
+array when toString or substring is called. While StringBuffer/Builder
+always retain their own array, which is only altered during resizing,
+CPStringBuilder gives away its array when the result is generated
+by toString()/substring() and starts afresh. The default capacity of
+CPStringBuilder can also be configured using the
+gnu.classpath.cpstringbuilder.capacity property.
