Hi team,
I've tagged 1.1.9, and uploaded the source code archives to
http://www.kaffe.org/~robilad. Jim, when you have time, please send out
an official release announcement to announce@, I've got to get on the
road to FOSDEM right away, to make it for the BrandWeg hacking session.
This release largely cleans up a lot of lose ends, and breaks with
merging in code into Kaffe, in particular it has switched to using an
existing installation of GNU Classpath on the system.
But there is still more stuff to clean up, to make Kaffe a lean, mean
and tidy little VM, so if you are interested in making it a couple of
lines of code smaller, please join us.
This Kaffe release should work better on arm linux and darwin in
particular, then previous releases. I hope it works well for you too.
Onward to 1.1.10,
