A little status update. We probably have a solution for the build problem caused my the huge amount of new code of the generated LocaleInformation classes (compiling those takes a lot of memory and makes the glibj.zip file much larger). By rewriting the Hashtables into String constants we have smaller classes and make the amount of (generated) code much less. But after the release we really should not include generated java source files, but read the information from data files. I should have more clearly said that I consider runtime/platform interface large changes since that requires people to adapt their runtimes before they can resume hacking/testing the rest of the core classes again. Sorry for the miscommunication Archie. After we have solved the build issue tomorrow I'll try to make a real release by updating the NEWS and documentation/examples for the 0.13 developer snapshot. If anything unexpected happens I will make extra time on Thursday to properly test everything. So expect the release in tomorrow or thursday. Please don't add large patches (like the great AWT GTK+ Peer Thread simplification I just saw on the libgcj list). They will go in soon after the release. Promised. I'll try to keep the code freeze as short as possible since I know how annoying those are. But it is good to have some "release points" so that people have something to fall back on instead of always having to work from a moving CVS target. If people have suggestions for the NEWS file please let me know. Cheers, Mark
