<boxtitle>GNU Classpath 0.97.1</boxtitle>
<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.
