*** Changes in GCC 4.0:
* Character encoders and decoders have been added for: iso-8859-6
(arabic), iso-8859-7 (greek), iso-8859-8 (hebrew), iso-8859-9
(latin-5), iso-8859-13, iso-8859-15 (latin-9), cp1047 (ebcdic),
ebcdic-xml-us,ascii, windows-1250, windows-1252, UTF-16BE (Big Endian),
UTF-16LE (Little Endian), UTF-32BE (Big Endian), UTF-32LE (Little
Endian).
* Lots of Calendar bug fixes.
* The http url protocol handler has been replaced with a full HTTP/1.1
version from GNU inetlib.
* A new ftp url protocol handler has been added also from GNU inetlib.
* java.beans has been updated to 1.4 including support for XMLEncoder
and XMLDecoder.
* Added implementations of javax.xml (JAXP 1.3), org.xml.sax (SAX2)
and org.w3c.dom (DOM Level 3) interfaces. 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.

* 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
