-New in release 0.18 (not yet released)
+New in release 0.18 (Sep 6, 2005)
 
+* GNU JAWT implementation, the AWT Native Interface, which allows direct
+  access to native screen resources from within a Canvas's paint method.
+  GNU Classpath Examples comes with a Demo, see examples/README.
 * awt.datatransfer updated to 1.5 with supports for FlavorEvents.
   The gtk+ awt peers now allow copy/paste of text, images, uris/files
   and serialized objects with other applications and tracking
   clipboard change events with gtk+ 2.6 (for gtk+ 2.4 only text and
   serialized objects are supported). A GNU Classpath Examples
   datatransfer Demo was added to show the new functionality.

-* The PortableInterceptor and related functionality in other packages
+* org.omg.PortableInterceptor and related functionality in other packages
   is now implemented:
-  
-      The sever and client interceptors work as required since jdk 1.4.
-      The IOR interceptor works as needed for jdk 1.5. 
-      
-* The DynamicAny package is completed and passes the prepared tests.

 * The Portable Object Adapter should now support the output of the
   recent IDL to java compilers. These compilers now generate servants and 
   not CORBA objects as before, making the output depended on the existing 
   POA implementation. Completing POA means that such code can already be 
   tried to run on Classpath. Our POA is tested for the following usager
   scenarios:
-  
-      POA converts servant to the CORBA object.
-      Servant provides to the CORBA object.
-      POA activates new CORBA object with the given Object Id (byte array)

+    - Servant provides to the CORBA object.

       that is later accessible for the servant.

+    - During the first call, the ServantActivator provides servant for this 
       and all subsequent calls on the current object.
-      During each call, the ServantLocator provides servant for this call only.
-      ServantLocator or ServantActivator forwards call to another server.
-      POA has a single servant, responsible for all objects.
-      POA has a default servant, but some objects are explicitly connected

   The POA is verified using tests from the former cost.omg.org.

-* javax.swing.plaf.multi.* package is now implemented.
+* The javax.swing.plaf.multi.* package is now implemented.
+* Editing and several key actions for JTree and JTable were implemented.
+* Lots of icons and look and feel improvements for Free Swing basic and
+  metal themes were added.  Try running the GNU Classpath Swing Demo in
+  examples (gnu.classpath.examples.swing.Demo) with:
+  -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicLookAndFeel
+  -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
+* Start of styled text capabilites for java.swing.text.
+* NIO FileChannel.map implementation, fast bulk put implementation for
+  DirectByteBuffer (speeds up this method 10x).
+* Split gtk+ awt peers event handling in two threads and improve gdk lock
+  handling (solves several AWT lock ups).
+* Speed up awt Image loading.
+* Updated TimeZone data against Olson tzdata2005l.
+* Make zip and jar UTF-8 "clean".
+* "native" code  builds and compiles (warning free) on Darwin and Solaris.
