[ANNOUNCE] Jato v0.2 - a JIT-only virtual machine for Java

[Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

Jato 0.2 release is now available!

Jato is an open source, JIT-only virtual machine for Java that aims to support
the latest JVM specification. It can currently run many Java applications on
32-bit x86 Linux machines such as Eclipse.

What's new in this release:

  - Jython and JRuby start up under the VM (requires GNU Classpath CVS HEAD)

  - Annotation support (Pekka Enberg, Nikhil Sarda)

  - More missing JNI APIs implemented (Joonas Reynders, Nikhil Sarda)

  - More missing reflection APIs implemented (Nikhil Sarda)

  - Linux/x86-64 port fixes (Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu, Sergey Mashkov, Pekka Enberg)

  - Linux/i386 bug fixes (Tomek Grabiec, Vegard Nossum)

  - SSA form bug fixes (Ana-Maria Farcasi)

  - Darwin port fixes (Michael Tremel)

NOTE NOTE NOTE! You're strongly encouraged to use GNU Classpath CVS HEAD
because it has important Jython and JRuby compatibility fixes that are not part
of any release.

There's a Github mirrof the GNU Classpath here for people who don't want to use
CVS:

The source code for Jato is available for download here:

You can also get the latest sources from the git repository:

   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/java/jato/jato.git
