JavaGuard

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.0beta3

Notes:
This release addresses some issues several people using 1.0beta2 reported.
JavaGuard now supports JDK 1.4 (more precisely classes compiled with the
"-target 1.2" option) and user-generated Manifest files which were processed
incorrectly in the previous releases.

Everyone using the 1.0beta2 release is encouraged to upgrade to the new version.

Changes:
Bugs fixed:
-----------
* Minor fix when calculating which packages and classes may be obfuscated to
  prevent a possible problem when classes are matched both by a ".obfuscate"
  and a ".ignore" entry in the script file.
  
Improvements:
-------------
* The manifest file parse was completely rewritten. It now changes the 
  "Main-Class" entry when the main class is obfuscated and doesn't truncate 
  long lines anymore.

* Support for classes that were compiled by javac with the "-target 1.2" (or
  higher) command line option which is the default setting on JDK 1.4.

* JavaGuard now has a command line option that allows it to dump the parsed
  class files before they are obfuscated (for debugging purposes).

* Slight speed improvements when building the class tree.
