Changes:
New in release 0.11 (Sep 13, 2004)
* javax.swing.Spring and SpringLayout support.
* Added pluggable look and feel support for BasicTextFieldUI and
BasicToolBarSeparatorUI.
* java.swing.text support for (Default and Layered) Highlighter, FieldView,
PlainView, TabExpander and TabableView added.
* Start of JTable and JTree implementation.
* Internal Swing frames work.
* JMenu and JPopupMenu work.
* New gtk+ AWT FileDialog peer now based on gtk+2.4 or higher.
* java.awt.image LookupTables and kernel support.
* Improved java.awt.image.BufferedImage support.
* AWT 1.0 event model support.
* GNU Classpath now comes with some example programs (see examples/README).
* New javax.crypto, javax.crypto.interfaces, javax.crypto.spec, javax.net,
javax.net.ssl, javax.security.auth, javax.security.auth.callback,
javax.security.auth.login, javax.security.auth.x500, javax.security.sasl
and org.ietf.jgss packages are now officially part of GNU Classpath.
Extra crypto algorithms can be obtained from the GNU Crypto project,
a full TLS implementation is provided by the Jessie project.
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/http://www.nongnu.org/jessie/
* Frame.setIconImage() support.
* AWT GDKGraphics scaling.
* New configure flag --enable-gtk-cairo to build Graphics2D implementation
build on cairo and pangoft2. Enabled at runtime by defining the system
property gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D.
* javax.swing.JSpinner implemented.
* Extensive documentation update for java.util collection classes.
* java.awt.geom completed. Area, Arc2D, Ellipse2D and Line2D implemented.
* GNU JAXP is no longer included with GNU Classpath. Runtime, compiler and
tool integrators are encouraged to directly integrate GNU JAXP.
This release has been tested against GNU JAXP 1.1.
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaxp/jaxp.html
* JColorChooser, JComboBox and JTextField implemented, including example
uses in GNU Classpath Examples swing Demo.
Runtime interface Changes:
* java.lang.Compiler now uses the new java.lang.VMCompiler; there is
a reference implementation that most VMs can use.
* java.lang.VMSystem has a new getenv(String) method and a reference C/JNI
implementation that should work on most Posix like systems.
* java.util.TimeZone has been split into a platform independent class and
a platform dependent class VMTimeZone. GNU Classpath comes with a generic
way to get at the default time zone for Posix/GNU-like platforms.
* [VM]AccessController improvements. In particular it handles
`doPrivileged' calls better, and allows for recursive `doPrivileged'
calls in the same Thread. (see vm/reference/java/security/)
New in release 0.10 (Jul 9, 2004)
* java.net.URL now uses application classloader to load URLStreamHandlers
and reuses URLStreamHandlers when URL is reset (but protocol isn't changed).
* java.io.File.deleteOnExit() implementation.
* java.text multiple new features and bug fixes
(only 2 out of the 1000+ java.text Mauve tests now fail).
* Better (non-black) default AWT System colors.
* AWT lists use GTK treeviews.
* Proper AWT focus management has been implemented.
* Swing menus and scrollpanes are beginning to work.
* Swing splitpanes, dialogs and internal frames were added.
* Swing repainting / double buffering was redone.
* Font management and Pango DPI conversion fixes.
* A lot of AWT imaging and event bugs have been picked out.
* More of javax.swing.text has been implemented.
* javax.swing.Timer has been reimplemented.
* java.security.AccessController has been implemented
(see runtime section).
* The default java.lang.SecurityManager now uses AccessController.
* New java.beans.Statement and Expression implementations.
* Small FileChannel implementation speed improvement for traditional
JNI based systems.
* Regenerated all included JNI header files with gcjh (3.5 CVS),
removes extra extern modifier and allows stricter compiler warning.
* More C code cleanups (-Wmissing-declarations, -Wmissing-prototypes and
-Wstring-prototypes) and jni.h fixes (a few funtion prototype fixes,
made it compilable with C++ compilers and jni.h got renamed from jni.h.in).
* Double.toString() and Float.toString() now work properly on 64-bit
PowerPC systems.
* PPC Darwin, arm, x86-64 and s/390 JNI C code compilation fixes.
* Build system refactored and removed old Japhar specific support.
* The gnu.java.awt.EmbeddedWindow class has been improved, and now
supports embedding AWT windows in other top-level X windows.
This functionality is required by gcjwebplugin.
* gcjwebplugin, an applet viewer that can be embedded into several web
browsers, has been extensively tested with this release of classpath.
(See http://www.nongnu.org/gcjwebplugin/)
* Runtime environments based on GNU Classpath 0.10 should be able to
start up Eclipse 3.0 out of the box now.
Runtime interface Changes:
* VMProcess.destroy() default implementation fixes.
* Fixed the "portable native sync" code; it had been broken since
Classpath release 0.06, when we upgraded to GTK+2.
Classpath's AWT peers use GTK+. GTK+ uses GLIB. GLIB by default uses
the platform's native threading model -- pthreads in most cases.
If the Java runtime doesn't use the native threading model, then you should
specify --portable-native-sync when configuring Classpath, so that GLIB will
use the Java threading primitives instead. (For a superior alternative,
see below.)
* The VM can set the system property
gnu.classpath.awt.gtk.portable.native.sync instead of using the
--portable-native-sync configure-type option.
See doc/vmintegration.texinfo for details.
* We intend that the next release of GNU Classpath will require the VM
to provide JNI 1.2. Classpath currently uses only JNI 1.1, except for
one JNI 1.2 function: GetEnv(), in the JNI Invocation API.
If this poses problems, please raise them on the classpath mailing list.
* The reference implementation of VMThread.holdsLock(Object) now has
a default implementation written in java. For efficiency and to
prevent spurious wakeups a real 'native' runtime version can be supplied.
* There is a new java.security.VMAccessController class that runtimes need
to implement to properly support SecurityManagers. The default
implementation that comes with GNU Classpath makes sure that ANY attempt
to access a protected resource is denied when a SecurityManager is
installed. Which is pretty secure, but also no very useful.
Please see the documentation in
vm/reference/java/security/VMAccessController.java,
and please give feedback on the GNU Classpath mailinglist whether or not
the current AccessController framework is flexible enough.
New in release 0.09 (May 2, 2004)
* Includes updated GNU JAXP version from 2004-02-01.
* Native C code is now -ansi -pedantic (C89) clean and (almost) -Wall clean.
* java.io is now implemented by delegating most tasks directly to java.nio.
* Reworked/Optimized implementations of java.nio.Buffer and subclasses.
* New javax.print, javax.print.attribute[.standard] and javax.print.event
packages and classes.
* java.text attributed iterators support.
* New javax.imageio, javax.imageio.event and javax.imageio.spi packages and
classes.
* GNU Classpath can now load service providers that are described via
META-INF/services/* resources in extension JARs. This is useful for
implementing the various APIs that are supposed to be extensible via
custom plugins. For details, please see the documentation of
gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory.
Application developers are strongly discouraged from calling glibj
internal packages. Instead, they might want invoke the newly implemented
javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders, which is a standard
method for loading plug-ins.
* New developers wanting to help the GNU Classpath project might want to
review the greatly expanded Hacker Guide included in the doc directory
or online at http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html
Also the FAQ has been expanded. And when working from CVS you can now use
a simple autogen.sh script to get all autotools magic done automagically.
* New configure option --with-glibj which defines how to install the glibj
class files as zip, as flat directory files or both (zip|flat|both)
[default=zip]. When working with multiple runtimes some of which might
not support bootstrap classes in zip files the --with-glibj=both option
is recommended (this does take extra disc space).
* Two big code drops from the libgcj gui branch updating various java.awt
and javax.swing classes.
* Multiple java.net.InetAdress fixes and java.rmi fixes.
* ServerSocket.accept() now restarts listening when system call interrupted.
* Much cleanups to make standard API doc valid XHTML (not completed yet).
* A scan for unused variables and non-static invocation of static methods
turned up a couple of subtle bugs which have now all been fixed.
* The Mauve testsuite has been cleaned up considerable and lots of issues
in the GNU Classpath core class implementation have been fixed.
VM Interface changes:
* java.lang.Class/VMClass interface was changed. The interface now no
longer requires an instance of VMClass for each Class instance. Instead
the field vmdata in Class is now of type Object.
* GNU Classpath now assumes that JNI calls SetXField can modify final
fields. This was previously used silently for System.in/out/err and should
be considered as a feature now.
* A new VMProcess and a sample JNI C implementation are now provided to
make Runtime.exec() work out of the box on some systems. This requires
a small change to VMRuntime.exec() when a runtime wants to use it as the
default java.lang.Process implementation.
* The implementation of most of java.io through java.nio moved serveral
runtime specific I/O methods. Most methods do have a generic default native
C JNI implementation in native/jni/java-nio.
* Runtime support methods for java.io.File have been moved to VMFile which
also comes with a default JNI C implementation.
* To support the new service provider mechanism runtimes must make sure that
extension JARs are made accessible via the default context class loader.
New in release 0.08 (2004/12/03)
* java.util.regexp implementation through gnu.regexp wrappers.
* java.net.URI implementation.
* Working implementation of javax.swing.undo.
* java.awt.geom.CubicCurve2D/QuadCurve2D: Can now solve cubic and quadratic
equations; implementation adapted from the GNU Scientific Library.
* Lots of java.awt and gtk+ peer improvements. Also more Swing work. Start
of EmbeddedWindow support.
* BufferedReader speed improvements.
* Improved useabilty of java.text implementation for several applications.
* ObjectInputStream is much faster and more compatible with other
implementations.
* Fix handling of alias methods, where a method has been deprecated in
favour of a new one with the same funtion but a different name.
(See Deprecated Methods section in the GNU Classpath Hacking Guide.)
* javax.print.attribute.standard added.
* Lots of java.nio, java.net, java.io
* Depend on autoconf 2.59+ and automake 1.7+, GCJ 3.3+, jikes 1.18+.
VM Interface changes:
* Split native methods in java.lang.Runtime into java.lang.VMRuntime.
* Resources are now also loaded/needed through the bootstrap classloader
(gnu.regexp needs MessageBundle included in glibj.zip
Fixed Classpath bugs:
#6095 java.awt.geom.QuadCurve2D.solveQuadratic sometimes gives
wrong results
#7099 EventListenerList.getListenerCount should accept null argument
#7104 EventListenerList.add does not work
#7105 EventListenerList.remove does not work
#7107 DefaultBoundedRangeModel.setValue and friends should not throw
And lots more.
0.7 * 2004/11/27
- Add -e flag (grep like tool)
- Minor bugfixes
- Add support for description, language and picture as input
- Update dtd URL location
- Description support for output
Changes since 7.2.10:
REL_7_3_0 Apr 3, 2004.
78. Swapped the meaning of wheel up and down when
resizing windows. Think of it as moving the
window closer to your eyes when rolling the
wheel towards you.
79. Added mouse combos for setting windows aside.
Hold Control-Alt and click status bar to do
the following:
button1 = put back next window
button2 = put aside or put back
button3 = put aside current window
button4 = button1
button5 = button3
80. Fixed window stacking. When using
Control-button1 to select a window, never
change stacking if selecting a window on
the inactive subdesktop. For ghostscript
without frontend and similar situations.
REL_7_3_1 Apr 5, 2004.
81. Fixed 3D borders. Now uses 0 width lines for
the effect. The result is a slightly cleaner
look and possibly faster drawing on some
X servers.
REL_7_3_2 Apr 15, 2004.
81. Fixed crashing bug when using Shift-wheel-up
on the status bar of an empty virtual desktop.
REL_7_3_3 Apr 30, 2004.
82. Added one more way to zoom a window, similar
to the Shift-Alt-KP_Begin used to maximize
a window both ways.
Using Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Begin will make
the window as close to the exact size of the
display as possible while still following
the size hints.
REL_7_3_4 May 5, 2004.
83. Made windows that are set aside be stacked
along the right edge the same way tiled
windows are in the right track when resize
is off.
84. Very minor fix to mouse resizing, making the
window corner follow the mouse pointer better.
85. Tweaked how windows are sized when moved
from tiled to untiled subdesktop. Now uses
size hints if appropriate.
REL_7_3_5 May 7, 2004.
86. Applied Tommy Pettersons sticky-space-per-desktop
patch, as found in the 7.3.5 Debian package.
REL_7_3_6 May 15, 2004.
87. Applied a couple of Mikolaj Golub's patches.
Fix for crashing bug when using xxkb.
Small tweak that lets you cycle through windows
in the right track the same way whether
tile_resize is on or off.
REL_7_3_7 May 16, 2004.
88. Restored the zoom_full_ entries to prefs.c.
89. Updated email address and website info with
new permanent addresses. Thanks to dyndns.org
they should stay permanent from now on.
Please update in your packages if you provide
larswm binaries of any kind.
REL_7_3_8 May 20, 2004.
90. Added a way to quickly move a window to a
different virtual desktop. It is not exactly
like Mikolaj Golub's patch set, but a variant
of it. If you use Shift-Alt with Left or Right
arrow keys, you switch desktop while dragging
the focused window with you to the new desktop.
REL_7_3_9 May 25, 2004.
91. Removed the special handling of transient
windows. They are now just forced to the
untiled subdesktop. This should make it
easier to deal with things like Mozilla
download windows.
92. Ran all source code through GNU Indent.
93. Cleaned up manual pages, README etc.
removing most of the information, since it will
be part of the new User Guide instead.
94. Added Arnold Robbins' 9menu-1.7 to the dist.
Renamed it to not cause conflicts when
installing both larswm and 9menu, and
to comply with the 9menu license when
modifying the code. The menu items were
made much larger so as to require less
mouse precision. Only one menu will
be allowed on each display at a time.
Also updated sample.larswmrc to use the menu.
95. Cleaned up gravity code again. It is verified
to work correctly with xterm, xcalc, xlogo,
xedit and a few other standard X programs.
It may leave windows slightly off or in
from screen edges with clients that do not
set geometry hints properly.
REL_7_4_0 May 30, 2004.
96. Ignore mouse wheel in menu.
97. Updated the manual pages.
REL_7_4_1 May 30, 2004.
98. When using the menu, Escape closes it.
**** Thanks to Florian Forster for 99-101. :)
99. Cleaned up some inconsistensies in the
status bar menu.
100. Removed the automatic association between
tile_resize and skip_focus. sample.larswmrc
has been updated to reflect this. Basically
you need to have both tile_resize: False
and skip_focus: False to get the old
behaviour.
101. Fixed a small bug with window focus when
using sticky windows on the tiled subdesktop.
REL_7_4_2 May 31, 2004.
102. Fixed the XMULIB reference in the Imakefile.
103. Restored manual page. Who knows when I'll have
tiem to finish the new manual. :/
REL_7_4_3 Jun 01, 2004.
104. Made the menu window sticky in the default config
so you don't have to search for it if you try to
open more than one menu.
REL_7_4_4 Jun 01, 2004.
105. Fixed RPM spec session file name.
REL_7_4_5 Jun 02, 2004.
106. Updated manual page. Incorporated keyboard
and mouse tables.
107. Removed RPM spec file from source dist.
This will make it easier to provide RPMS
for other distros, and remove the need for
a new source dist when the RPM build changes.
SRPM files will be made available instead.
REL_7_4_6 Jun 02, 2004.
108. Final (I hope!) cleanup of the focus code when
using Control-Button1 to change the default
focus rules.
REL_7_4_7 Jun 03, 2004.
109. Repackaged tar file, upped version to not have
any checksum confusion.
REL_7_4_8 Jun 03, 2004.
110. Fixed a rare bug where the status bar would not
get redrawn when changing virtual desktop.
111. Removed a couple of unused functions.
112. Status bar made slightly thinner when using
3D borders.
113. Changed section of man pages to follow Debian
standards.
REL_7_4_9 Jun 16, 2004.
114. Added the Shift-Control-0 keyboard command to
set aside all untiled windows except the
currently focused.
115. Control-Button1 on an aside window will put
it back, then put aside all other untiled windows.
116. Fixed a bug where the wrong subdesktop could be
active after putting back an aside window.
117. Made the menu slightly wider and shorter.
118. Don't count tool space on a desktop where
tile_resize is off.
119. A tool window should never get focus except
when manually focused by clicking on it.
Note that focus will still be removed from
the currently active window when a tool window
opens.
REL_7_5_0 Jun 17, 2004.
120. Shaped windows did not resize correctly when
using the mouse.
REL_7_5_1 Jun 21, 2004.
121. Applied patches supplied by Tommy Petterson.
Fixes a couple typos, makes larsclock use
locale, easier to configure larsmenu padding.
122. Removed some old junk from the Imakefile, and
cleaned out the tabs that broke BSD make.
REL_7_5_2 Jun 28, 2004.
123. Tweaked how colors for 3D borders are calculated.
124. Fixed menu inconsistency in sample.larswmrc.
This release contains lots of bug fixes and also contains the
initial version of the Covered report viewing GUI (line coverage only). The following is a
description of the changes made since the last development release.
- Ran C linting tool on all Covered source code and updated code based on linting errors/
warnings.
- Modified debug output to show file and line number of code that called the outputting
function (easier to debug problems and useful in error regression testing).
- Started initial error testing in regressions.
- Several bug fixes made to remove segmentation faults and assertion errors in the new
report generation functions.
- Initial version of Covered report viewing GUI added. This version displays line coverage
only at the moment.
- Fixed bug in score command for statement removal (was resulting in memory errors that led
to segmentation faults).
- Fixed bug in report command that output bad verbose information when -c option was used.
- Added new diagnostics to regression testsuite to reproduce situations where original
segmentation faults were found to occur.
- Development documentation updates. No user documentation updates are released at this
time (other than information provided using the -h global option to Covered).
