A new option, --enable/disable-gmp is provided, and +the option is enabled by default if GMP is found. +* Classpath now makes use of a new StringBuilder implementation +internally called CPStringBuilder. In addition to being +unsynchronised, like StringBuilder, this also avoids copying the +array when toString or substring is called. While StringBuffer/Builder +always retain their own array, which is only altered during resizing, +CPStringBuilder gives away its array when the result is generated +by toString()/substring() and starts afresh. The default capacity of +CPStringBuilder can also be configured using the +gnu.classpath.cpstringbuilder.capacity property. +* gjdoc is now built as part of tools.zip. + Bug fixes in release 0.97.2 (Jun 06, 2007) * Include headers in the release tarball. |
