*** Changes in GCC 4.1:
|
||||
|
||||
Core library (libgcj) updates based on GNU Classpath 0.15 - 0.19+
|
||||
|
||||
- Networking
|
||||
|
||||
* The java.net.HttpURLConnection implementation no longer buffers the
|
||||
entire response body in memory. This means that response bodies
|
||||
larger than available memory can now be handled.
|
||||
|
||||
- (N)IO
|
||||
|
||||
* NIO FileChannel.map implementation, fast bulk put implementation for
|
||||
DirectByteBuffer (speeds up this method 10x).
|
||||
|
||||
* FileChannel.lock() and FileChannel.force() implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
- XML
|
||||
|
||||
* gnu.xml fix for nodes created outside a namespace context.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add support for output indenting and cdata-section-elements output
|
||||
instruction in xml.transform.
|
||||
|
||||
* xml.xpath corrections for cases where elements/attributes might have
|
||||
been created in non-namespace-aware mode. Corrections to handling of
|
||||
XSL variables and minor conformance updates.
|
||||
|
||||
- AWT
|
||||
|
||||
* Qt4 configury switches for OS-X. Additional to the --enable-qt-peer, OS-X
|
||||
users with a Qt4 installation can build the qt-peers with the argument
|
||||
--with-qt4dir=<Qt4-installation-dir>.
|
||||
|
||||
* GNU JAWT implementation, the AWT Native Interface, which allows direct
|
||||
access to native screen resources from within a Canvas's paint method.
|
||||
GNU Classpath Examples comes with a Demo,
|
||||
see libjava/classpath/examples/README.
|
||||
|
||||
* awt.datatransfer updated to 1.5 with supports for FlavorEvents.
|
||||
The gtk+ awt peers now allow copy/paste of text, images, uris/files
|
||||
and serialized objects with other applications and tracking
|
||||
clipboard change events with gtk+ 2.6 (for gtk+ 2.4 only text and
|
||||
serialized objects are supported). A GNU Classpath Examples
|
||||
datatransfer Demo was added to show the new functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
* Split gtk+ awt peers event handling in two threads and improve gdk lock
|
||||
handling (solves several AWT lock ups).
|
||||
|
||||
* Speed up awt Image loading.
|
||||
|
||||
* Better GTK scrollbar peer implementation when using GTK >= 2.6.
|
||||
|
||||
* Handle image loading errors correctly for gdkpixbuf and MediaTracker.
|
||||
|
||||
* Better handle GDK lock. Properly prefix gtkpeer native functions (cp_gtk).
|
||||
|
||||
* GdkGraphics2D has been updated to use Cairo 0.5.x APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
* BufferedImage and GtkImage rewrites. All image drawing operations
|
||||
should now work correctly (flipping requires gtk+ >= 2.6)
|
||||
|
||||
* Future Graphics2D, Image and Text work is documented at:
|
||||
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathGraphicsImagesText
|
||||
|
||||
* When gtk+ 2.6 or higher is installed the default log handler will produce
|
||||
stack traces whenever a WARNING, CRITICAL or ERROR message is produced.
|
||||
|
||||
- Free Swing
|
||||
|
||||
* The Swing RepaintManager has been reworked for more efficient painting,
|
||||
especially for large GUIs.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Swing layout manager OverlayLayout has been implemented, the BoxLayout
|
||||
has been rewritten to make use of the SizeRequirements utility class and
|
||||
caching for more efficient layout.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved accessibility support for Swing.
|
||||
|
||||
* Significant progress has been made in the implementation of the
|
||||
javax.swing.plaf.metal.* package, with most UI delegates in a working state
|
||||
now. Please test this with your own applications and provide feedback that
|
||||
will help us to improve this package.
|
||||
|
||||
* The GUI demo (gnu.classpath.examples.swing.Demo) has been extended to
|
||||
highlight various features in our free-swing implementation. And includes
|
||||
a look and feel switcher (Metal default, Ocean or GNU).
|
||||
|
||||
* The javax.swing.plaf.multi.* package is now implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* Editing and several key actions for JTree and JTable were implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* Lots of icons and look and feel improvements for Free Swing basic and
|
||||
metal themes were added. Try running the GNU Classpath Swing Demo in
|
||||
examples (gnu.classpath.examples.swing.Demo) with:
|
||||
-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicLookAndFeel
|
||||
-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
|
||||
|
||||
* Start of styled text capabilites for java.swing.text.
|
||||
|
||||
* DefaultMutableTreeNode preorder, postorder, depthFirst and breadthFirst
|
||||
traversal enumerations implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* JInternalFrame colors and titlebar draw properly.
|
||||
|
||||
* JTree is working up to par (icons, selection and keyboard traversal).
|
||||
|
||||
* JMenus were made more compatible in visual and programmatic behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
* JTable changeSelection and multiple selections implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* JButton and JToggleButton change states work properly now.
|
||||
|
||||
* JFileChooser fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
* revalidate and repaint fixes which make Free Swing much more responsive.
|
||||
|
||||
* MetalIconFactory implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* Free Swing Top-Level Compatibility. JFrame, JDialog, JApplet,
|
||||
JInternalFrame, and JWindow are now 1.5 compatible in the sense that you
|
||||
can call add() and setLayout() directly on them, which will have the same
|
||||
effect as calling getContentPane().add() and getContentPane().setLayout().
|
||||
|
||||
* The JTree interface has been completed. JTrees now recognizes mouse clicks
|
||||
and selections work, but the visual implementation is not yet complete.
|
||||
Work on expansion and collapsing of the tree nodes is being implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* BoxLayout works properly now.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed GrayFilter to actually work.
|
||||
|
||||
* Metal SplitPane implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
* Lots of free swing text and editor stuff work now.
|
||||
|
||||
- Free RMI and Corba
|
||||
|
||||
* The Andrew Watson, Vice President and Technical Director of the Object
|
||||
Management Group, has officially assigned us 20 bit Vendor Minor Code Id:
|
||||
0x47430 ("GC") that will mark remote Classpath - specific system exceptions.
|
||||
Obtaining the VMCID means that GNU Classpath now is a recogniseable type of
|
||||
node in a highly interoperable CORBA world.
|
||||
|
||||
* Classpath now includes the first working draft to support the RMI over
|
||||
IIOP protocol. The current implementation is capable for remote invocations,
|
||||
transferring various Serializables and Externalizables via RMI-IIOP protocol.
|
||||
It can flatten graphs and, at least for the simple cases, is interoperable
|
||||
with Sun's jdk 1.5.
|
||||
|
||||
* org.omg.PortableInterceptor and related functionality in other packages
|
||||
is now implemented:
|
||||
- The sever and client interceptors work as required since 1.4.
|
||||
- The IOR interceptor works as needed for 1.5.
|
||||
|
||||
* The org.omg.DynamicAny package is completed and passes the prepared tests.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Portable Object Adapter should now support the output of the
|
||||
recent IDL to java compilers. These compilers now generate servants and
|
||||
not CORBA objects as before, making the output depended on the existing
|
||||
POA implementation. Completing POA means that such code can already be
|
||||
tried to run on Classpath. Our POA is tested for the following usager
|
||||
scenarios:
|
||||
- POA converts servant to the CORBA object.
|
||||
- Servant provides to the CORBA object.
|
||||
- POA activates new CORBA object with the given Object Id (byte array)
|
||||
that is later accessible for the servant.
|
||||
- During the first call, the ServantActivator provides servant for this
|
||||
and all subsequent calls on the current object.
|
||||
- During each call, the ServantLocator provides servant for this call
|
||||
only.
|
||||
- ServantLocator or ServantActivator forwards call to another server.
|
||||
- POA has a single servant, responsible for all objects.
|
||||
- POA has a default servant, but some objects are explicitly connected
|
||||
to they specific servants.
|
||||
The POA is verified using tests from the former cost.omg.org.
|
||||
|
||||
* The CORBA implementation is now a working prototype that should support
|
||||
features up till 1.3 inclusive.
|
||||
We would invite groups writing CORBA dependent applications to
|
||||
try Classpath implementation, reporting any possible bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
The CORBA prototype is interoperable with Sun's implementation v 1.4,
|
||||
transferring object references, primitive types, narrow and wide
|
||||
strings, arrays, structures, trees, abstract interfaces and
|
||||
value types (feature of CORBA 2.3) between these two platforms.
|
||||
The remote exceptions are transferred and handled correctly.
|
||||
The stringified object references (IORs) from various sources are
|
||||
parsed as required.
|
||||
The transient (for current session) and permanent (till jre restart)
|
||||
redirections work.
|
||||
Both Little and Big Endian encoded messages are accepted.
|
||||
The implementation is verified using tests from the former cost.omg.org.
|
||||
The current release includes working examples (see the examples directory),
|
||||
demonstrating the client-server communication, using either CORBA Request
|
||||
or IDL-based stub (usually generated by a IDL to java compiler).
|
||||
These examples also show how to use the Classpath CORBA naming service.
|
||||
The IDL to java compiler is not yet written, but as our library must be
|
||||
compatible, it naturally accepts the output of other idlj implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
- Misc
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated TimeZone data against Olson tzdata2005l.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make zip and jar UTF-8 "clean".
|
||||
|
||||
* "native" code builds and compiles (warning free) on Darwin and Solaris.
|
||||
|
||||
* java.util.logging.FileHandler now rotates files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Start of a generic JDWP framework in gnu/classpath/jdwp.
|
||||
This is unfinished, but feedback (at classpath@gnu.org) from runtime
|
||||
hackers is greatly appreciated. Although most of the work is currently
|
||||
being done around gcj/gij we want this framework to be as VM neutral as
|
||||
possible. Early design is described in:
|
||||
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-05/msg00260.html
|
||||
|
||||
* QT4 AWT peers, enable by giving configure --enable-qt-peer.
|
||||
Included, but not ready for production yet. They are explicitly
|
||||
disabled and not supported. But if you want to help with the
|
||||
development of these new features we are interested in feedback. You
|
||||
will have to explicitly enable them to try them out
|
||||
(and they will most likely contain bugs).
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation fixes all over the place.
|
||||
See http://developer.classpath.org/doc/
