Once again lots of fixes in Rudolph (various speed improvements, support for
overlapping components, a working MemoryImageSource and PixelGrabber, ...)
A few new packages: java.awt.dnd, java.awt.datatransfer and java.beans
Garbage collection safe points have been added (though disabled by default),
stdin/out/err no longer need javax.comm, javax.comm got a make over, an
ExtensionClassLoader has been introduced, ...
Use asynchronous IO for network, serial ports and touchscreen.
Lots of bugfixes and speed improvements.

Geldhof for their substantial contributions.
thanks to seb for pointing this one out. For x86-based platforms only.
This is a fairly complete CPU identification utility. It has been
tested on several Intel, AMD and Cyrix CPUs. If the Pentium III
serial number misfeature is present and enabled, this program will
display it.
a command-line MPEG audio player, into the NetBSD Packages Collection.
mad123 is a simple command line MP3 player using Robert Leslie's
libmad fixed-point MP3 decoder library.
This is not meant to be a serious replacement for the ubiquitous
mpg123 program. Instead, this is a merely an experiment in using
libmad. At the time mad123 was written, a couple of things set it
apart from the command line MP3 player supplied with libmad (madplay):
1) Supports URL style MP3 pathnames.
2) The audio output is double-buffered.
3) Streams can be pre-buffered using read-ahead.
4) Simple keyboard controls.
5) CTRL-C behaves like it does for mpg123.
6) It can be installed setuid-root so it can adjust scheduling
priority to reduce its susceptiblity to jitter.
1) OnCmd and OffCmd options now are executed with the hostid parameter,
the local IPv4 dynamic IP address and additional parameters specified
in dhid.conf
Summary of changes for version 2.0.17:
-------------------------------------
This will probably be the last release in the 2.0.x series. There
are a few bug fixes, but the major change is to print a message
saying that Octave 2.0.x cannot be compiled with gcc 3.0.x or gcc
2.96. If you want to build Octave 2.0.x, you will need to use gcc
2.95.x. If you want to use gcc 3.0.x or some later version, you
should be using the Octave 2.1.35 sources or a more recent version.

Changes from version 0.5:
13-Apr-2003
Version 0.5.1 now available. No new features, but it has some new
icons and it compiles with gcc 3.2.
The OpenJIT project is an ongoing Java[tm] the programming language JIT
compiler project as a collaborative effort between Tokyo Institute of
Technology and Fujitsu Laboratory, partly sponsored by the Information
Promotion Agency of Japan.
OpenJIT is a "reflective" JIT compiler in that not only it is almost
entirely written in Java, but also that it bootstraps and compiles
itself during execution of the user program, and compiler components
coexist as first-class objects in user heap space.
This was imported from wip/jdk-openjit, provided by Todd Vierling
<tv at pobox dot com> with some minor changes by me.
Pkgsrc changes include displaying the help file correctly.
New features in this release:
* Enhanced East Asian input method support;
selection menu for multiple character choices ("pick list").
* Support for editing CJK encoded files in UTF-8 terminal; major
CJK encodings are supported (Big5, GBK, JIS, S-JIS, UHC, Johab).
Main enhancements:
(for details see the change log)
* Flag menus for all flags for more intuitive selection.
* Enhanced and generalized coded character input (CJK / decimal
/ illegal code recognition).
* Extended bullet recognition for clever justification (auto-indent).
* Makefile for Mac OS X.
