Message-ID: <20030203134010.A69472@phantom.cris.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Folks, I am happy to (unofficially) announce of reaching patchset milestone for jdk 1.4.1. It contains most of patchset1 of jdk 1.4.0 with many updates to 1.4.1, cleanups, optimizations and fixes many issues presented in 1.4.0-p1. Most noticeable ones are: . All my work was done on 4.7-STABLE (built early January) and only tested on 5.x. It means that there're differences between functionality on FreeBSD-4 and FreeBSD-5. Actually 5.x got very little testing and I'd like to have reports about any problems and functional differences between 5.x and 4.x. . Problems with fonts and some math calculations (in awt area) are fixed now. It means that all problems with fonts under 4.x-STABLE are gone. . All Swing (JFC) demos are working prefectly. . Tomcat is basically working. At least I was able to check all demos distributed with Tomcat 4.0. . We don't depend on sources tree anymore which allows to preserve API and ABI compatibility on libc_r. Please don't assume it as absolutely working patchset, and I'd like to get success/failure reports from parties interested in making jdk 1.4.1 finally working. KEEP IN MIND: 1.4.1-p2 depends on version of pthread_attr_get_np() function functionality which hit tree very recently. You'll need to update your libc_r with patch distributed along with 1.4.1-p2 before start to build and use (or cvsup/update your system to 04-Feb-2003 state) Greg will proceed with official release and announce very soon. And last, biggest kudos are directed to FreeBSD Foundation which support and sponsorship allowed to make it happen! PS: I still have TODO list to clean up and work with HotSpot, but since now I also will pay increased attention to classes/libraries functionality. If you have (will have) any problems or have suggestions in this area -- please let me know.
