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/ + +For more information about the project see also: + +- GNU Classpath home page: + http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ + +- Developer information (wiki): + http://developer.classpath.org/ + +- Full class documentation + http://developer.classpath.org/doc/ + +- GNU Classpath hackers: + http://planet.classpath.org/ + +- Autobuilder, current build status, build snapshots: + http://builder.classpath.org/ + +- Application test pages (wiki) + http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/FreeAWTTestApps + http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/FreeSwingTestApps + http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/FreeSWTTestApps + +- GNU Classpath hacking with Eclipse (wiki) + http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathHackingWithEclipse + +- GNU Classpath promotion banners: + http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathBanners + +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. + +GNU Classpath 0.91 can be downloaded from +ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/ +or one of the ftp.gnu.org mirrors +http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html + +File: classpath-0.91.tar.gz +MD5sum: 3ce11b4b990b108c5ab93894fcc61be6 +SHA1sum: fcbfdf64f7a990f1747621772a2e9e69d0baaab7 + +File: classpath-0.91-generics.tar.gz (EXPERIMENTAL) +MD5sum: e79132b1b8441523b8f4f6a8f2d2910b +SHA1sum: 90be3b2115e8a0288bcb6e2d1860fe58b42c77b5 + +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. + +The following people helped with this release: + +Andrew John Hughes, Anthony Balkissoon, Arnaud Vandyck, Audrius +Meskauskas, Bernhard Rosenkraenzer, Bryce McKinlay, Caolan McNamara, +Carsten Neumann, Casey Marshall, Chris Burdess, Christian Thalinger, +Dalibor Topic, David Gilbert, Fridjof Siebert, Gary Benson, Ito +Kazumitsu, Jeroen Frijters, John K Peterson, John Sullivan, Keith +Seitz, Lillian Angel, Mark Wielaard, Michael Barker, Michael Koch, +Nicolas Geoffray, Olivier Jolly, Paul Jenner, Rafael H.
