SableVM 1.1.3 released
It was supposed to be 1.1.2 but... while I released 1.1.2-pre Etienne silently uploaded 1.1.2 tarballs on sourceforge, then we decided to add some features (see below), so to avoid any possible confusion we decided to release 1.1.3. Ah, what we do for our users! ;)
In any case 1.1.3 is the best release to the date. The only pity is that the release announcement was weak. Much too weak I'd say. But I am sure we'll fix that in 1.1.4. So for 1.1.3 the most IMO important features include:
- uses code from GNU Classpath 0.08 + very recent CVS changes (merged only few days ago)
- fixed a few little but sometimes painful bugs reported by users
- Swing starts to work and AWT works quite nicely! (See the new screenshots section)
- This is the first version where configure && make && make install will "just work" for both sablevm and sablevm-classpath tarballs w/o need to specify any additional parameters or using build scripts.
Please try them on and report your experiences. So far from the problems reported we've really fixed all of the issues directly related to SableVM and a few related to Classpath. You can give us some more.
Happy testing!
