+<pre>
+GNU Classpath 0.91 "All for One, One for All" released
+
+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. 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: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html
+
+Some highlights of changes in this release (more extensive list below):
+
+  RMI activation daemon and persistent naming service tools are now
+  included. Print service discovery, single document print jobs and
+  support for client-formatted print data through CUPS has been
+  added. Support for custom mouse cursors, system clipboard and
+  selection access has been implemented. A Free Swing OceanTheme and
+  support for assistive technologies (accessibility) has been
+  added. The VM runtime interface has been merged with the generics
+  version to support annotations and other 1.5 language features.
+
+GNU Classpath 0.91 does not yet support all new 1.5 additions, but
+there is also an experimental GNU Classpath "generics" release.
+classpath-0.91-generics contains a version of the core library that
+uses the new 1.5 language features such as generics and
+enumerations. ECJ, JamVM, IKVM and Cacao are known to support the
+generics release. And you can use it to run Eclipse 3.1 with it to
+develop programs that use the new 1.5 language and core library
+additions. classpath-generics is a work in progress and not as
+extensively tested as our regular releases. But please try it out if
+you want to help us test the new 1.5 support of the core libraries.
+
+The 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.  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:
+http://developer.classpath.org/doc/

+
+This release depends on gtk+ 2.4 for AWT support. But gtk+ 2.6 or
+higher is recommended. 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 and JEdit start up on GNU Classpath based runtimes.
+To enable this support install the cairo 0.5.x snapshot, configure GNU
+Classpath with --enable-gtk-cairo.
+
+One of the major focuses 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 than 45.000
+core 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.
+See for more information: http://www.sourceware.org/mauve/
+This release passes 44975 out of 45537 Mauve core library tests.
+
+Conformance reports for the included jaxp support can be found in the
+doc/README.jaxp file.

+New in release 0.91 (May 14, 2006)
+(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
+
+* Experimental activation (java.rmi.activation) support, including RMI
+  activation daemon and persistent naming service tools.
+* Experimental printing support: The API implementation of the javax.print
+  packages has been finished and work on the printing provider implementation
+  started. Currently supported features from the Java Print Service API are
+  print service discovery (CUPS registered printers), single document print
+  jobs and support for client-formatted print data. An example application
+  (see: examples/gnu/classpath/examples/print/Demo) has been added to show
+  the API usage for service discovery and printing of files.
+* The GTKToolkit now gives access to the both the system clipboard and
+  system selection.
+* Custom mouse cursor support has been added to the gtk+ peers. And cursors
+  can now also be set on light-weight components.
+* Free Swing improvements: Support for OceanTheme has been mostly completed
+  and turned on as default Metal theme. X11-style Copy and Paste behavior in
+  text components with the middle mouse button. Support cursor changes on
+  various components when resizing. Support for Look and Feel window
+  decorations has been added.
+* Updated locale data information to CLDR 1.3.
+* Various bugs in Classpath's SecureRandom implementations have been
+  fixed; that class now respects the "securerandom.source" security
+  property and the "java.security.egd" system property.
+* Support for assistive technologies has been added to AWT and Swing.
+
+Runtime interface changes:
+
+* A new class, VMArray, is now available which separates the native
+  array creation method from java.lang.reflect.Array.
+* A new class, gnu.classpath.Unsafe, is provided for handling the
+  new low-level operations required by java.util.concurrent.
+* The reference implementations of Method, Constructor, and Field
+  now have a new native getModifiersInternal() method.  The public
+  getModifiers() method in each case has been rewritten in terms of
+  this method.
+* The reference implementation of VMThread has been updated to handle
+  the new Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler support.
+* A new class, java.security.VMSecureRandom, is now available that is
+  used to generate random numbers for seeding cryptographically-secure
+  pseudo-random number generators.
+* VMClass and the reference implementations of Method, Constructor and Field
+  now include a number of 1.5 methods imported from the generics branch.
+  These are all optional (in the sense that the methods associated with them
+  merely fail on use if the VM doesn't provide them, rather than the
+  VM failing altogether), but VMs should aim to support them where possible.
+* The implementation of java.lang.instrument has been merged to the main
+  branch from the generics branch.
+* The VM interfaces of the main branch and the generics branch are now
+  consistent with one another.  As a result, the main branch includes an
+  additional environ() function in VMSystem and an additional argument has
+  been added to nativeSpawn() in VMProcess.
+* Annotation support is now available in the main branch, if the VM supports
+  it. The VM should implement VMClass.getDeclaredAnnotations,
+  Constructor.getAnnotation, Constructor.getDeclaredAnnotations,
+  Field.getAnnotation, Field.getDeclaredAnnotations, Method.getAnnotation and
+  Method.getDeclaredAnnotations.
+* java.lang.Package now has a new constructor that takes the defining
+  ClassLoader as an extra argument. If you use a custom version of
+  VMClassLoader, please switch it to use this constructor.
+* The reference implementation of VMClassLoader.getBootPackages() now
+  reads the META-INF/INDEX.LIST resource using the java.boot.class.path
+  system property.
+
+New/Untested/Disabled Features:
+
+  The following new features are included, but not ready for
+  production yet. They are explicitly disabled and not supported. But
+  if you want to help with the development of these new features we
+  are interested in feedback. You will have to explicitly enable them
+  to try them out (and they will most likely contain bugs). If you are
+  interested in any of these then please join the mailing-list and
+  follow development in CVS.
+
+* Cairo Gtk+ Graphics2D support, enabled by giving configure
+  --enable-gtk-cairo.
+* QT4 AWT peers, enable by giving configure --enable-qt-peer.
