I think we're pretty much ready to release, and doing so shortly after the
Soot release would be sensible. I hope this is OK with everyone.
Please look through the optimisationsnew and differencesnew files
(unlinked URLs under http://abc.comlab.ox.ac.uk/) and check them for
accuracy. I don't really know what to say about interprocedural stuff, so
that section is just a very rough attempt. I think we should say
something, given that we have a tech report/PLDI submission claiming we
did them.
Here's an updated draft release announcement. Again, the section about
AspectJ/Java 5 is a very rough draft. I've dropped everything else about
future plans, because I think they're too up in the air. The contents of
the CHANGELOG file (without the funny punctuation :-) will also be
included.
Cheers,
Ganesh
--- We are pleased to announce the release of abc 1.0.1, an incremental improvement on abc 1.0.0 incorporating some bug fixes and performance improvements (most notably from inlining advice bodies where appropriate). A full changelog can be found below. The release is a little later than we had hoped because we have been putting quite a lot of effort into discussing the design of AspectJ 5 with the ajc team. Although we will not be able to provide a release of abc supporting Java 5 or the new AspectJ features as quickly as ajc, it is a priority for us to do so as fast as possible. The release can be downloaded from http://abc.comlab.ox.ac.uk/download We would like to encourage all our users to register on our download page if they have not already done so; it is very helpful to have this information when applying for grants that will enable us to continue abc development. We would also like to encourage everyone that is extending abc in some way to make themselves known to us on the abc-dev mailing list. In particular it would be enormously helpful to know which internal interfaces in abc you are relying on; we have adopted a policy of redesigning the internals of abc where this is necessary to keep the code base maintainable and support future development, but in the places where extenders are relying on interfaces, we will try to keep this to a minimum and where necessary help to adapt your code. In the changelog below we have included a special section listing some small changes that we believe may affect you.Received on Sat Dec 11 22:09:09 2004
