New in libgcj X.XX:
* libgcj now includes a bytecode interpreter.
* libgcj now includes a bytecode interpreter. If a compiled version of a class
is not found in the application binary or linked shared libraries, the
class loader will search for a bytecode version in the CLASSPATH and execute
it using the interpreter. A new front end that behaves like the traditional
`java' command is provided: `gij'.
* Support for specifying java system properties, both compiled in to the
application and at runtime via an environment variable.
* Support for specifying java system properties. Properties can either be set
at runtime via the GCJ_PROPERTIES environment variable in the format
"<name>=<value> ..."'; or can be compiled into an application binary using
-D<name>=<value>.
* Support for setjmp/longjmp (sjlj) exception handling has been added, as an
alternative to the existing range-table based mechanism. sljl is the default
on non-sparc, non-x86 targets, or can be specified with the
`--enable-sjlj-exceptions' configure parameter.
* Complete JDK 1.1 reflection support, including invocation.
* Support for setjmp/longjmp (sjlj) exception handling has been added, as an
alternative to the existing range-table based mechanism.
* Throwable.printStackTrace() has been implemented.
* Runtime.loadLibrary() has been implemented, and Class.forName() can now
dynamically load shared objects in order to find a requested class.
* Runtime.loadLibrary() has been implemented. In addition, Class.forName()
will try to load a series of shared objects in order to find the requested
class. If a class `gnu.quux.whatever' is requested, libgcj will first look
for `gnu-quux-whatever.so', then `gnu-quux.so', and finally `gnu.so'.
* A pure-java implementation of java.math.BigInteger.
