[aspectj-announce] AspectJ 1.2 release candidate 2 now available.
|
We are pleased to announce that the second release candidate for
AspectJ-1.2 is now available from the download page at
http://eclipse.org/aspectj
or directly from
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/aspectj-1.2rc2.jar
We hope to release 1.2 shortly. As ever, please upgrade any old 1.1.1 or
1.2rc1 projects and help us flush out any remaining bugs before the final
release.
The definition of the AspectJ language is unchanged in the 1.2 release.
Instead, AspectJ 1.2 provides major improvements to the functionality of
the supporting tools. Compilation times are greatly reduced, error
messages have been improved, incremental compilation support is extended,
and the ajdoc tool is back. Detailed release notes for all these updates
and more are available at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/doc/README-12.html
The biggest change since 1.2rc1 has been the provision of a new cflow
implementation that exploits ThreadLocals on JVMs that support them. This
results in a performance boost and memory usage reduction for heavily
threaded programs making use of cflow.
Patches and contributions were submitted by George Harley, Matthew
Webster, Martin Lippert, and Arno Schmidmeier. We are always very grateful
for these contributions that help improve the compiler and supporting
tools.
Easy to reproduce bugs were submitted by Nicholas Lesiecki, Ramnivas
Laddad, Ron Bodkin, Sian Whiting, Eric Bodden, Mariano Ceccato, Antti
Karanta, Umit Vardar, Nick Brett, Miguel Monteiro, Rafael Chaves, Eric
Jain, Arno Schmidmeier, Attila Lendvai, Daniel McAllansmith, Laurie
Hendren and Oege De Moor. We recognize the difficulty of producing clear
minimal test cases from bugs found in large systems and appreciate the
work that goes into these reports.
We appreciate your help in squashing any bugs in this release before 1.2.0
(please also try out the new ajdoc on your projects). If you find any
bugs, please submit a reproducible test case to http://dev.eclipse.org (->
Bug Reports) (product AspectJ, component Compiler).
Thanks and stay in touch,
The AspectJ Team
