New for the subsequent release: |
2 |
|
|
3 |
|
* The java.net.HttpURLConnection implementation no longer buffers the |
4 |
|
entire response body in memory. This means that response bodies |
5 |
|
larger than available memory can now be handled. |
6 |
|
|
7 |
|
* The Andrew Watson, Vice President and Technical Director of the Object |
8 |
|
Management Group, has officially assigned us 20 bit Vendor Minor Code Id: |
9 |
|
0x47430 ("GC") that will mark remote Classpath - specific system exceptions. |
10 |
|
Obtaining the VMCID means that GNU Classpath now is a recogniseable type of |
11 |
|
node in a highly interoperable CORBA world. |
12 |
|
|
13 |
|
* Classpath now includes the first working draft to support the RMI over |
14 |
|
IIOP protocol. The current implementation is capable for remote invocations, |
15 |
|
transferring various Serializables and Externalizables via RMI-IIOP protocol. |
16 |
|
It can flatten graphs and, at least for the simple cases, is interoperable |
17 |
|
with Sun's jdk 1.5. |
18 |
|
|
19 |
|
Runtime interface changes: |
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
* Changed implementation of VMClassLoader.getPackage(s) : new method |
22 |
|
VMClassLoader.getBootPackages should be implemented by the vm, and sould |
23 |
|
return a string array of boot package names ("java.lang", "java.net", ...). |
24 |
|
Feedback from vm implementors for usability and relevance of the |
25 |
|
getBootPackages method would be greatly appreciated. |
