VMs are encouraged to provide a more efficient implementation. * Added aton method to vm/reference/java/net/VMInetAddress.java. +* NetworkInterface has been implemented for systems that provide the + `getifaddrs' function. +* A java.nio.channels.Selector implementation based on the + kqueue/kevent notification mechanism has been added for Mac OS X and + BSD systems. +* java.nio has been refactored to support more non-blocking operations + natively. Blocking IO classes have been refactored to call + non-blocking classes. Non-blocking accepts, connects, and + scatter-gather IO should now be better supported. + +Runtime interface changes: + +* java.net.VMNetworkInterface and java.net.NetworkInterface have been + updated to keep native-modified state in the former, and to simplify + the native code in our reference implementation. +* gnu.java.nio.VMChannel has been expanded to better support native + non-blocking IO. Most native state data (such as file descriptor + integers) has been abstracted away into private state in the runtime + interface. +* gnu.java.nio.VMPipe has been similarly changed. +* gnu.java.net.VMPlainSocketImpl has been changed to remove some + functionality now provided by VMChannel; datagram socket-specific + methods have also been moved here, deprecating + VMPlainDatagramSocketImpl.
