+"GNU Classpath delivers core libraries for upcoming GCC and Kaffe releases"
+
+We are pleased to announce a new developer snapshot release of GNU Classpath.
+
+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. This 0.14 release snapshot can be seen as the feature complete
+base library that will be used in the upcoming GCC 4.0 (gcj) and Kaffe
+1.1.5 runtimes, compilers and tools collections.
+
+Developers wanting to have a look at the core library classes provided by
+these upcoming releases can take a look at the new 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.
+With this release generated documentation is provided through the new
+GNU Classpath Tools gjdoc 0.7.x series. A large update of the documentation
+generation framework for java source files used by the GNU project.
+See http://developer.classpath.org/doc/.
+
+One of the major focusses of the GNU Classpath project is expanding and
+using the Mauve test suite for Compatibility, Completeness and Correctness
+checking.  Various groups around GNU Classpath collaborate on the free
+software Mauve test suite which contains more then 25.000 library tests.
+Mauve has various modules for testing core class library implementations,
+byte code verifiers, source to byte code and native code compiler tests.
+Mauve also contains the Wonka visual test suite and the Jacks Compiler
+Killer Suite. This release passes 25442 of the mauve core library tests.
+
+The GNU Classpath developer recently held a conference during Fosdem.
+This was a standing room event and provided lot of communication between
+the GNU Classpath, Kaffe, GCJ, IKVM, Apache, java-gnome and Cacao hackers
+and users. The presentations of this event have been publised and should
+give a good overview of the current status and future plans of the project:
+http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/events/escape_fosdem05.html
+
+Some highlights of changes in this release (more extensive list below):
+
+ImageIO support through gdkpixbuf, lots of new nio character encoders
+and decoders, fully automated class documentation generation, generic
+VMStackWalker support for runtimes, lots of bug fixes, optimizations and
+new swing support.
+
+Included, but not activated by default in this release is a Graphics2D
+implementation based on the Cairo Graphics framework
+(http://www.cairographics.org). Enabling this makes programs like
+JFreeChart work and JEdit start up on GNU Classpath based runtimes.
+To enable this support install the cairo 0.3.0 snapshot, configure
+GNU Classpath with --enable-gtk-cairo and make sure the system
+property gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D is set.
+
+Not yet included is an implementation of Generic collection classes
+and classes for other 1.5 language extensions.  Work on this is being
+done on a special development branch that will be included in a future
+GNU Classpath release when free runtimes, compilers and tools have all
+been upgraded to support these new language features.
+
+29 people actively contributed code to this release and made 232 CVS
+commits during the last two months of development. diffstat since 0.13:
+1189 files changed, 31388 insertions(+), 13744 deletions(-)
+More details below.
+
+GNU Classpath 0.14 can be downloaded from
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/
+or one of the ftp.gnu.org mirrors

+
+Here are answers to some questions you might have about this project and
+this release.
+
+1). Who should use this software?
+
+Although GNU Classpath is already capable of supporting many
+applications written in the java programming language, this is a
+development release. As such, there are still some unfinished
+components, and some problems are to be expected. You should install it
+if you are interested in GNU Classpath development or reporting bugs.
+We appreciate both.
+
+For end users we recommend to use one of the development environments
+based on GNU Classpath which combine the core libraries with compilers
+and other tools needed for creating applications and libraries.
+
+    * GCC with GCJ  (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/)
+    * Kaffe         (http://www.kaffe.org/)
+
+2). What is required to build/install/run?
+
+GNU Classpath requires a working GNU build environment and a byte code
+compiler such as jikes, gcj or kjc. When creating native code you will
+also need a working C compiler and up to date Gnome development
+libraries (gtk+, libart and gdk-pixbuf). More information on the
+precise version numbers for the tools and libraries can be found in
+the INSTALL file.
+
+You will also need a runtime environment. The following runtime
+environments should work out of the box with GNU Classpath
+
+    * JamVM         (http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/)
+    * Jikes RVM     (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/)
+    * Kissme        (http://kissme.sourceforge.net/)
+
+Note that these are just byte code execution runtimes. For development
+of programs written in the java programming language you will also
+need compilers and other tools for creating libraries and/or
+executables (see question 1).
+
+For other environments that might need modified version of the current
+release see the README file.  A complete list of virtual machines and
+compilers known to be based on GNU Classpath can be found at our
+website: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html
+
+2). What platforms are supported?
+
+GNU/Linux and FreeBSD on x86 and powerpc are regularly tested by the
+developers.  Many more architectures and platforms are supported.
+Check the actual runtime you use together with GNU Classpath for
+detailed information on the supported platforms.
+
+5). Where do I go for more information?
+
+The project home page with information on our mailing list can be
+found at http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
+
+A good overview of the current status can be found on the GNU Classpath
+Escape The Java Trap event held at FOSDEM this year.
+It includes reports and presentations on the current status and future
+plans: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/events/escape-fosdem05.html
+
+6). How do I extend the functionality of the core classes?
+
+Besides combining GNU Classpath with the runtimes and compilers above
+you might want to add support for additional encryption libraries and
+algorithms as provided by GNU Crypto
+(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/).  And for additional
+extension libraries (mail, xml, activation, infobus, servlet) check
+out GNU ClasspathX (http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx).
+
+Additional network protocol support is provided by a sub-project
+called GNU Classpath Inetlib, an extension library to provide extra
+network protocol support (ftp, finger, gopher) for GNU Classpath, but
+it can also standalone to ease adding http, imap, pop3 and smtp client
+support to applictions. Also distributed from
+<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/>
+
+The following projects extend the functionality of GNU Classpath
+with additional algorithms, new core packages and tools.
+All are released under GPL compatible licenses:
+
+* Jessie: A free implementation of the JSSE. Secure Sockets Extension.
+  http://www.nongnu.org/jessie/
+* Tritonus: A implementation of the javax.sound API.
+  http://www.tritonus.org/
+* gcjwebplugin: A plugin for the execution of applets in web browsers.
+  http://www.nongnu.org/gcjwebplugin/
+
+Note that the above libraries may already be available in some platforms
+that integrate GNU Classpath, such as in the Kaffe project.
+
+6). What is new in this release?
+
+New in release 0.14 (Feb 25, 2005)
+(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
+
+* Character encoders and decoders have been added for:
+  iso-8859-6 (arabic), iso-8859-7 (greek), iso-8859-8 (hebrew),
+  iso-8859-9 (latin-5), iso-8859-13, iso-8859-15 (latin-9), cp1047 (ebcdic),
+  ebcdic-xml-us,ascii, windows-1250, windows-1252, UTF-16BE (Big Endian),
+  UTF-16LE (Little Endian), UTF-32BE (Big Endian), UTF-32LE (Little Endian).
+* Full documentation for all classes can be generated (again) by using
+  the --with-gjdoc configure option.
+* javax.awt.imageio support through gdkpixbuf.
+
+Runtime interface changes:
+
+* VMSecurityManager has been replaced by gnu.classpath.VMStackWalker.
+  currentClassLoader() is no longer needed, and there are also two new
+  methods with non-native implementations. VM implementors are encouraged
+  to provide more efficient versions.
+* VMRuntime.nativeLoad() now takes an additional ClassLoader parameter.
