+<pre>
+GNU Classpath 0.90 "A La Mort Subite" 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):
+
+ JTables can be rearranged and resized. Free Swing text components
+ support highlighting and clipboard. Much improved styled text. Fast
+ event dispatching and lower memory consumption. Better support for
+ mixing lightweight and heavyweight components in AWT containers. GNU
+ Crypto and Jessie cryptographic algorithms have been added providing
+ ssl3/tls1 and https support. Unicode 4.0.0 support. GIOP and RMI
+ stub and tie source code tools. XML validaton support for RELAX NG
+ and W3C XML schemas. New file backend for util.prefs. Updated
+ gnu.regexp from POSIX to util.regex syntax.
+
+GNU Classpath also comes in a "generic" version.
+classpath-0.90-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 should be able 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 around 44.000
+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 43856 out of 44429 Mauve core library tests.
+
+Conformance reports for the included jaxp support can be found in the
+doc/README.jaxp file.

+New in release 0.90 (March 6, 2006)
+(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
+
+* Free Swing improvements: JTable columns are rearrangeable and
+ resizeable with mouse. Painting and scrolling are now much
+ faster. Plain text components now support highlighting and
+ copy+paste to the system clipboard. Support for styled text has been
+ improved, including some very basic HTML support. JFileChooser is
+ now usable. Global event dispatching has been implemented. Memory
+ consumption of Swing components has been reduced. Lots of general
+ bugfixes. Added new system property to turn off Graphics2D use in
+ Swing, even if Graphics2D is available: gnu.javax.swing.noGraphics2D
+
+* AWT. Improved support for mixing "lightweight" and "heavyweight"
+ Components in Containers. Better support for dynamically updated
+ menus. Better 1.0 event model support for Scrollbars. Better class
+ documentation of gtk+ awt peers.
+
+* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into GNU Classpath; this
+ provides Classpath with a wide array of cryptographic algorithms
+ (ciphers, message digests, etc.) and implementations of SSL version
+ 3 and TLS version 1. These roughly complement the public
+ `java.security.' `javax.crypto,' and `javax.net.ssl' packages, and
+ are service providers implementing the underlying algorithms.
+
+* Updated HTTP and FTP URLConnection protocol handlers. HTTPS support
+ out of the box.
+
+* Unicode 4.0.0 is supported. Character now includes support for using
+ ether a char or an int to identify code points.
+
+* More correct handling of Object methods and serialization support
+ for Proxy and abstract classes.
+
+* The new folder tools includes GIOP and RMI stub and tie source code
+ generators, IOR parser and both transient and persistent GIOP naming
+ services.
+
+* Added experimental support for dynamic creation of the RMI stubs
+ using proxy classes. The rmic compiler is no longer required (unless
+ for research and specific stubs).
+
+* XML validaton support for RELAX NG and W3C XML schema namespace
+ URIs. RELAX NG pluggable XML schema datatype library API and an
+ implementation for XML Schema Datatypes
+ (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/).
+
+* Updated StAX implementaton to be compatible with final JSWDP 2.0.
+
+* The default back end for java.util.prefs has been changed. The new
+ default is capable of saving and restoring preferences to and from
+ the file system.
+
+* javax.imageio.plugins.bmp implementation.
+
+* Added --enable-collections configure option which builds
+ "collections.jar", a 1.1 VM compatibility jar.
+
+* gnu.regexp updated from GNU/Posix syntax to support util.regex
+ syntax including various Unicode blocks, categories and properties.
+
+Runtime interface changes:
+
+* A new class, VMMath, is now available which separates the native
+ mathematical functions from java.lang.Math. The previous fdlibm
+ implementation now forms the reference material for this class.
+
+* Updated VMObjectInputStream class to return Thread context class
+ loader if no other class loader is found.
+
+* Updated documentation on InstrumentationImpl in vmintegration guide.
+
+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.
+
+The following people helped with this release:
