CACAO 0.99.1 released

This is a bug-fix release. Here is a short list of the most important changes:

  • Fixed compilation of OpenJDK code (libltdl related).
  • Imported new gnu/java/lang/CPStringBuilder.java to fix OOMEs.
  • Fixed abort with OpenJDK's java binary when exiting.

CACAO uses GNU Classpath as default Java runtime library and supports upstream releases or CVS snapshots. This release requires GNU Classpath 0.96 or higher to build and was tested against GNU Classpath 0.97.2 on a number of various platforms.

CACAO's ./configure has some options for Java runtime configuration, namely:

--with-java-runtime-library=<type>
--with-java-runtime-library-prefix=<dir>
--with-java-runtime-library-classes=<path>
--with-java-runtime-library-libdir=<dir>

For detailed information, use ./configure --help.

Currently supported JIT compiler architectures are:

  • alpha
  • arm
  • i386
  • m68k (broken)
  • mips
  • powerpc
  • powerpc64
  • s390
  • sparc64
  • x86_64
