* 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.

* 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.

Version 1.11 17/09/2001
Darren Salt (ds@youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk) contributed a number
of the changes in this version of the program.
- Added support for reading Acorn five byte floating point
values (Darren Salt).
- Improved support for reading and writing Acorn eight byte
floating point values on machines that use a different format
for this sort of number to what Acorn use (Darren Salt).
- Added support for reading gzip'ed files under Linux (Darren
Salt).
- The Linux version of the program can be installed using
'configure' (Darren Salt).
- Added code to detect the format of eight byte floating point
numbers on the platform on which the interpreter is running.
This is used when reading and writing such values (DD, based
on original code by Darren Salt).
- The first line of a program in text form is now ignored if
it starts with a '#' in all versions of the interpreter.
This only used to be supported in the NetBSD and Linux
versions.
- Changed handling of syntax errors detected when a line is
tokenised. The interpreter now puts out a slightly more
meaningful 'syntax error' message if a program with such
an error in it is run instead of 'STOP'.
- DIM statements of the form 'DIM abc%!8 100' are now
dealt with correctly. Previously the code always wanted
a variable as the location at which to store the address
of the byte array and did not allow the use of an
indirected expression. This was an oversight in the code
and has now been fixed.
- Fixed bug where the string memory management was not being
reset under certain conditions when a program was edited.
The program was being corrupted if a string expression was
evaluated immediately prior to editing the program and then
again immediately afterwards.
- Fixed bug in ERROR statement code where ERROR 0,<text>
was not being treated as a fatal error, that is, the
error could be trapped by ON ERROR. Also fixed problem
where ERR was not returning the user-supplied error
number after an ERROR statement.
- Fixed bug in handling of ON ERROR LOCAL where a storage
overwrite was causing the interpreter to abort with a
'interpreter has gone wrong' message when restoring LOCAL
variables to their original values when dealing with an
ENDPROC after branching to the statements after the ON
ERROR LOCAL.
- Fixed bug in READ statement that affected the reading of
strings in cases such as 'READ a$,b$: DATA abcd,', that is,
there is nothing after the last comma in the DATA statement.
It should return a null string, but the code was skipping to
the next DATA statement instead.
Version 1.12 01/12/2001
- Split interpreter.c into four files and moved some stuff
around. Renamed some files.
Version 1.13 28/11/2002
- Included new RND code written by Crispian Daniels.
- Included fixes for various graphics problem written
by Crispian Daniels.
- Incorporated new MacOS target written by Crispian
Daniels.
- Incorporated new FreeBSD target written by Dirk Engling.
- Removed limit on the number of command line arguments
returned by ARGV$.
- Fixed problem in Unix version of program where screen
output was not being displayed before using OSCLI.
- Added new VDU function. This returns the value of the
specified RISC OS VDU variable.
- Added new function COLOUR. This returns a value that
represents the closest colour to the colour with the
specified colour components in the current screen
mode.
- Added missing GCOL <red>,<green>,<blue> statement
- Added extended form of GCOL statement: GCOL OF ... ON
- Added extended form of COLOUR statement: COLOUR OF ... ON
- Added extended MODE statement: MODE <x>,<y>,<bpp>,<rate>
- Extended the DIM statement to support the
DIM <variable> LOCAL <size>
version of the statement.
- Checked program compiled and worked using the Castle C
compiler.
Version 1.14 28/07/2003
- Quick hack to fix DIM ... LOCAL problem. The problem was
that the code to check that writes using indirection
operators were to legal addresses blew away writes to
byte arrays on the stack. I have removed this check so
that the stack can written to.
Version 1.15 16/08/2003
- Added '*key' to allow strings to be defined for
function keys as on a BB Micro or RISC OS machine.
Version 1.16 25/01/2004
- Added OpenBSD target (changes supplied by Julian Smith).
- Added Amiga target (changes supplied by Stefan Haubenthal).
- Fixed bug in tokenisation code where any keyword immediately
followed by a '.' was taken as abbreviated and the '.'
always skipped. This should not have been happening when
the full keyword was supplied. The '.' in this case is the
start of a floating point number.
- Changed the handling of the function 'TOP'. Brandy used to
have a token for this function but it is not how the RISC OS
Basic interpreter treats it. It uses the token for 'TO'
followed by the letter 'P'. This means that the interpreter
determines from the context whether this is the function 'TOP'
or the keyword 'TO' followed by a variable name starting
with 'P'. Brandy now works the way the RISC OS interpreter
does.
- Fixed bug in handling of 'ERR'. The number of the last error
was not being saved so that it could be referenced using
ERR except in the case of errors raised via 'ERROR'. This
bug was introduced in 1.11 when the *opposite* problem was
fixed!
- Added '*' command emulation to versions running Unix-type
operating system. Previously it was DOS only.
- Changed handling of OS commands to that leading blanks and
'*' are removed first.
- Added new command line option '-nostar' to stop program
checking all '*' commands to see if they are emulated by
the interpreter.
- Tidied up the output on 'help' which shows the where the
Basic program and variables are.

This partially addresses PR pkg/28373, too, though fixes particular to
older Irix versions still need to be tested and added.
generated by the hints file and invoked from within the Configure

it before someone else does too :)
Changes since Guile 1.6.4 (changes in 1.6.5):
* Changes to the distribution
** Bugs have been fixed that prevented the (re)generation of psyntax.pp.
** SRFI-31 has been added (special form `rec' for recursive evaluation)
(use-modules (srfi srfi-31)) will now provide support for SRFI-31.
See the Guile info pages for more documentation.
** SRFI-39 has been added (parameter objects)
** Guile is now compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing when gcc is detected.
** The --enable-htmldoc option has been removed from 'configure'.
Support for translating the documentation into HTML is now always
provided. Use 'make html'.
* Changes to the stand-alone interpreter
** GC bug fixed.
The use of scm_must_realloc() for memory which is scanned by GC, could
trigger a GC scan of a free()d block of memory. This is now fixed.
* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
** array-map! and array-map-in-order! now require at least one source array.
Previously a call without any source arrays like (array-map! array
proc) would cause a segfault. Now such calls are properly rejected.
** srfi-4 has been overhauled
Bugs have been fixed, and performance may be improved in certain
situations. Among other things, large 64-bit values should print
correctly now.
** gethost no longer causes an exception when trying to throw an exception
** call-with-output-string doesn't segv on closed port
Previously call-with-output-string would give a segmentation fault if
the string port was closed by the called function. An exception is
raised now.
** (ice-9 popen) duplicate pipe fd fix
open-pipe, open-input-pipe and open-output-pipe left an extra copy of
their pipe file descriptor in the child, which was normally harmless,
but it can prevent the parent seeing eof or a broken pipe immediately and has now been fixed.
** source-properties and set-source-properties! fix
Properties set with set-source-properties! can now be read back
correctly with source-properties.
** SRFI-1 delete equality argument order fixed.
In the srfi-1 module delete and delete!, the order of the arguments to
the "=" procedure now matches the SRFI-1 specification.
** SRFI-19 date-week-number fix
date-week-number now correctly respects the requested day of week
starting the week.
* Changes to the C interface
* Add a db1.builtin.mk file that detects whether DB-1.85 functionality
exists in the base system, and remove the distinction between
"native" and the other Berkeley DB packages -- we now refer to
db[1234]. This paves the way for any future databases/db1 package.
* USE_DB185 shouldn't need to be set by any packages -- its correct
value is now automatically determined by bdb.buildlink3.mk depending
on whether we explicitly request db1 or not. By default, if you
include bdb.buildlink3.mk, you want DB-1.85 functionality and
USE_DB185 defaults to "yes", but if you explicitly remove db1 from
the list of acceptable DBs, then USE_DB185 defaults to "no".
* Set BDB_LIBS to the library options needed to link against the DB
library when bdb.buildlink3.mk is included.
* We only add the DB library to the linker command automatically if
we want DB-1.85 functionality; otherwise assume that the package
configure process can figure out how to probe for the correct
headers and libraries.
Edit package Makefiles to nuke redundant settings of USE_DB185.
