For example JamVM, CACAO and Kaffe can make use of an installed +copy of GNU Classpath 0.97.1, while GCC (gcj) will use the developer +snapshots as a base for future versions. For more projects based on GNU +Classpath, <createlink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html"> +</p> +<p> +This is the first of a new series of bugfix releases that follow a major (0.x) +release. A 0.x.y release will only contain minor bug fixes. It will not cause +major changes in the functionality of GNU Classpath, either for better or for +worse. +</p> +<p> +With this bugfix release, the following issues have been resolved: +</p> +<ul> +<li>Building the Javadoc documentation for the JSR166 classes (java.util.concurrent). +See <createlink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35422"></li> +<li>Fixing an incompatibility in our STaX API implementation</li> +<li>Including the properties files for the tools in the released tarball.</li> +</ul> +<p> +From the 0.95 release, we switched fully towards the 1.5 generics work +that we previously released separately as classpath-generics. All this work +is now fully integrated in the main release and various runtimes (gcj, +cacao, jamvm, ikvm, etc) have been extended to take advantage of the +new generics, annotations and enumeration support in the core +library. As a consequence, only 1.5 capable compilers (currently the Eclipse +Compiler for Java (ecj) and Sun's javac) may be used to build Classpath. +<p> +The GNU Classpath developers site +<createlink url="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. +<p> +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: <createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/doc/"> +We are looking into how to extend the documentation experience in the +future.
