+<boxitem>
+We are proud to announce the release of GNU Classpath 0.97.1,
+the first bugfix release for GNU Classpath 0.97.
+<p>
+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.
+<p>
+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 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. Please contact the mailinglist if you would like to help with
+this effort.
