M.Negovanovic. While this version is actually a ``development'' version,
it has been reported to be much more usable than the stable 1.0.7 version.
Changes to 1.0.7 are far too numerous to list here, see http://www.kaffe.org
and/or the ChangeLog in the tarball.
now and not NetBSD-*-arm32. Changes include one or more of:
- Change MACHINE_ARCH == arm32 to also match arm
- Where ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM includes NetBSD-*-arm32, add NetBSD-*-arm
- Where BROKEN or worked around for arm gcc bugs, set USE_GCC3
The last may shake out a few more broken packages the next bulk build.
* Build the kaffe package with PREFIX=${LOCALBASE}/java/kaffe and adjust
the PLIST accordingly. This is to make the Java VM packages consistently
return JAVA_HOME from `pkg_info -qp <jvm-pkg>'.
* License file was wrongly being installed as ${PREFIX}/share.
* Separate out last half of DESCR into a more appropriate MESSAGE file.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change I of many.
Thus, for consistency, also install kaffe into ${PREFIX}/java/kaffe
rather than ${PREFIX}/java
While we're at it, update kaffe to version 1.0.7.
Changes since 1.0.6:
- New version of KJC
- New encoding converters based on iconv().
- Lots of bug fixes
Furthermore, the website says that 1.0.7 has added support for
Darwin, ia64 GNU/Linux, s390 GNU/Linux, PA-RISC GNU/Linux, Alpha for
Compaq Tru64 GNU/Linux and support of PowerPC without libffi.
People with access to any of these platforms are encouraged to test
this version, so we can possibly adjust ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS etc.
* use GNU_CONFIGURE_PREFIX instead of HAS_CONFIGURE workaround,
* and fix dynamic loading on NetBSD ELF platforms by explicitly linking
libc.so into the dynamically loadable modules. This requires bumping
the PKGREVISION to 2.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Don't look for moddi3 in libgcc - its not there. The configure script
still found it there though.
Add a test target.
Remove the preempt test as the test target will get stuck.
Some tests fail.
support to follow. Note this in documentation.
Bump revision of libtool to nb3 and update dependencies.
Update (sort) known affected PLISTs.

prevent such problems with precompiled binary packages require at least
"png-1.0.9nb1" in all dependences.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
New Java extensions and library changes:
Remote Method Invocation - compliant with both JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.2 stubs
JDK 1.2 style class loading
JDK 1.2 java.util Collections classes
JDK 1.2 java.security classes
improved appletviewer implementation
Improved i18n support
Now ships with KJC - a completely Open Source Java compiler
VM changes:
JIT3 - improves raw execution speed by up to a factor of 3
SuperFast locking scheme
Pthread native thread implementation (LinuxThreads only)
Faster exception dispatch
New ports
JITs for MIPS and StrongARM
Lots of bug fixes.
(problem reported by David Brownlee <abs@anim.dreamworks.com>).
Unfortunately this requires an evil hack to avoid bad interactions
with the "Automatic ELF shared object handling". (it would delete files
and replace by dead links)
