This is the last page we still carried from GCJ, and it has not
been linked internally.
I had marked this to possibly merge into our general News page,
but clearly have not been able to get to it for two years now
and else nobody cared either, and it was me keeping it for that
purpose (only), time to remove it.
Applied.

-Adam Megacz has contributed a mingw32 port of libgcj. This port is
-still a little bit incomplete (e.g., <code>java.lang.Process</code>
-doesn't work), and it currently only works as a target, not a host.
-Still, it works, and he is using it for <a
-href="http://www.xwt.org/">XWT</a>. This work will appear in the
-upcoming 3.1 release.
-</dd>
-
-<dt>February 28, 2002</dt>
-<dd>
-Bryce McKinlay has contributed a patch to optimize some of the array
-access and added a new compiler flag, <code>--no-store-check</code>,
-to disable assignability checks for stores into object arrays. With
-code that is known not to throw <code>ArrayStoreException</code>, this
-flag can be used to disable the check operations. In which case it can
-provide a reasonable performance boost and slight code size reduction.
-</dd>
-
-<dt>January 22, 2002</dt>
-<dd>
-Tom Tromey has contributed a patch to allow certain Java method calls
-to be inlined by gcj. For instance, calls to <code>Math.min</code>
-are now inlined when optimization is enabled. This patch includes
-some infrastructure to make it easy to add more such inlines when
-desired.

-<dt>January 14, 2002</dt>
-<dd>
-Richard Stallman has changed the licensing of the Classpath AWT
-implementation to match the licensing of the rest of Classpath. This
-means that the only remaining barrier to AWT for libgcj is manpower.
-Work has already begun to merge the Classpath and libgcj AWT
-implementations.

-implement <code>java.lang.ref.*</code>.
-</dd>
-
-<dt>September 7, 2001</dt>
-<dd>
-Anthony Green of Red Hat has added a facility for compiling property
-files and other system resources into libraries and executables.
-These files are accessible to the gcj runtime via the new "core"
-protocol handler. The gcj runtime places "core:/" at the end of the
-java.class.path, ensuring that compiled-in resource files are
-discovered and loaded when required. This is a convenient feature for
-building and deploying libraries and executables with no external file
-dependencies. See the <code>--resource</code> option in the gcj
-manual for details.
-</dd>
-
-<dt>August 27, 2001</dt>

-<dd>
-Per Bothner of Brainfood Inc has implemented an invocation interface
-allowing an existing non-Java thread to start and connect to a Java
-environment. The GCJ start-up code now uses this interface.
-Brainfood is using this to attach an Apache module to a pre-compiled
-servlet-like class.

-<dd>
-Made use of Warren Levy's change to the
-<a href="https://sourceware.org/mauve/">Mauve test suite</a> to handle
-regressions.
-Modifications have been made to <tt>mauve.exp</tt> to copy the newly created
-<tt>xfails</tt> file of known library failures from the source tree
-to the directory where the libjava <tt>'make check'</tt> is being run.
-This allows the testsuite to ignore <tt>XFAIL</tt>s and thus highlight
-true regressions in the library. The Mauve tests are
-automatically run as part of a libjava
-<code>make check</code> as long as the Mauve suite is accessible and the
-environment variable <code>MAUVEDIR</code> is set to point to the top-level
-of the Mauve sources.

-Bryce McKinlay checked in a patch that enables bitmap-descriptor based
-marking in the garbage collector. This code includes work by
-Tom Tromey and Hans Boehm, and results in some significant
-<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2000-q3/msg00161.html">
-performance gains</a> in memory-intensive code.
-</dd>
-
-<dt>September 8, 2000</dt>

-Warren Levy checked in a JDK 1.1 compatible version of
-<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/">Classpath's</a> <code>java.sql</code>.
-Once we have merged the necessary JDK 1.2 support, we'll update
-this to directly track Classpath.

-Anthony Green made RPMs

-Hans Boehm contributed a port of libgcj to the IA-64. This port
-includes the interpreter.

-Alexandre Petit-Bianco has checked in a change to the compiler to add
-support for most JDK 1.1 language features, such as inner classes.

-Warren Levy checked in the basics of the <code>java.security.*</code> packages
-that he and Tom Tromey have been putting together. It is just the basics
-of <code>java.security</code> and some of it is indeed stubbed. It has been
-tried with the 20000120 snapshot of Cryptix JCE, so it is usable.<br />
-Please note that it is mostly JDK 1.1 based but there are some JDK 1.2
-things included.

-Bryce McKinlay checked in a change to both the runtime and the
-compiler which implements constant-time interface method lookup
-and type checking. This should provide a huge speed increase
-for programs that use interfaces or things like ``instanceof''.

-We are relicensing libgcj to a more liberal license, and we're
-assigning copyright to the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">FSF</a>.
-This will let us share code with the
-<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/">Classpath</a> project.

-Tom Tromey changed g++ to allow CNI code to catch and throw exceptions
-Java-style. This makes it much easier to write CNI code which calls
-Java methods that throw exceptions.

-Anthony Green added an important optimization to gcj. His
-optimization eliminates redundant class initializations in some cases.
-It should speed up code which uses static methods or fields.

-Hans Boehm has contributed an IA-64 libffi port. This is an important
-step towards getting libgcj to run on the IA-64.

-We've done a lot since the previous announcement, but we haven't
-mentioned it here. Oops! Here are some of the things we've added:
-complete reflection support, Runtime.loadLibrary,
-Throwable.printStackTrace (this one is <em>very</em> cool),
-a Java implementation of java.math.BigInteger, JNI (believed complete
-but still in testing), and, of course, many
-bug fixes and more minor enhancements.
