It is possible to switch +between different implementations AElfred2, GNU DOM, GNU XSL, libxmlj +SAX, libxmlj DOM and libxmlj XSL by setting different system +properties. Also provided is a preliminary XPath 1.0 +implementation. The libxmlj versions are build around libxml2 and +libxslt and have to be enabled during build time by the --enable-xmlj +configure flag. The current support is equal to the last released GNU +JAXP 1.3 release. These packages will be maintained as part of the GNU +Classpath core classes in the future. For more information, +conformance results and documentation on selecting different +implementations see doc/README.jaxp. + +* Much fuller collection documentation. + +* libgcj 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. + +* GNU Classpath's JAR implementation now has preliminary support for +signed entries, for so called "signed JAR" file support. Signed JAR +files are one of the key security features of managed runtimes, and +allows code to run privileged given unforgeable proofs of identity. + +* A much improved version of X.509 certificates has been added, +including a robust certificate path checking algorithm. Also included +is an implementation of the RSA signature scheme. + +* 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/ + +* java.security.AccessController has been implemented. + +* The default java.lang.SecurityManager now uses AccessController. + +* Lookahead support for regular expressions. + +* java.util.regexp implementation through gnu.regexp wrappers. + +* Serialization object stream fixes for multiple ClassLoader scenarios. + +* 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.io is now implemented by delegating most tasks directly to +java.nio. + +* Reworked/Optimized implementations of java.nio.Buffer and subclasses. + +* BufferedReader speed improvements. + +* Multiple java.net.InetAdress fixes and java.rmi fixes. + +* ServerSocket.accept() now restarts listening when system call +interrupted. + +* java.net.URI implementation. + +* New javax.print, javax.print.attribute[.standard] and +javax.print.event packages and classes. + +* java.text multiple new features and bug fixes (only 2 out of the +1000+ java.text Mauve tests now fail). + +* java.text attributed iterators support. + +* Improved useabilty of java.text implementation for several +applications. + +* More AWT accessible support. + +* AWT gtk+ peers component layout, dialog placement, keyboard focus +handling and text positioning have been improved. + +* ImageIO interfaces are more complete. + +* JList, JTable and JTree have been hugely improved. + +* java.awt.Robot support with GdkRobot in the gtk+ awt peers. Needs +XTest Extension (libXtst) XServer support. + +* Full java.awt.color implementation, with all standard ICC profiles, +except for PhotoYCC color space. + +* java.awt.image support updated to 1.4. + +* Big-endian (PowerPC) fixes for native awt GTK+ peers. + +* Better AWT focus management fro GTK+ peers. + +* Much faster and better fonts support (for both gdk Graphics and cairo +Graphics2D) + +* AWT Choice fixes for hidden components. + +* More javax.imageio support. + +* Better AWT Help MenuBar support. + +* Swing TabbedPane, ColorChooser and ComboBox improvements. + +* Start of JTree functionality. + +* 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. + +* 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. + +* java.awt.geom completed. Area, Arc2D, Ellipse2D and Line2D +implemented. + +* JColorChooser, JComboBox and JTextField implemented, including +example uses in GNU Classpath Examples swing Demo. + +* 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. + +* 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. + +* New javax.imageio, javax.imageio.event and javax.imageio.spi packages +and classes. + +* 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. + *** Changes in GCC 3.4: * Compiling a .jar file will now cause non-.class entries to be automatically |
