Aegis VM 0.1.0 Released

The Aegis VM Project is an on-going effort to implement
a lightweight, secure virtual machine for executing Java
bytecode. It will eventually feature a modular architecture,
Proof Linking, that supports pluggable verification modules.

This is release 0.1.0 of the aegisvm package. This release
supports all bytecode instructions, dynamic loading of
native libraries, and interoperability with GNU Classpath
class library. With a number of bugs fixed, the code base
cleaned up, and more internal documentation introduced,
this release is much more usable and hackable than
its predecessors.

This release inaugurates the 0.1.x development cycle,
which will focus on improving the usability and security
of the VM.

The package can be obtained at the following location:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/aegisvm/aegisvm-0.1.0.tar.gz

You need GNU Classpath 0.0.3 and libjpr 0.1.0 to build this release. They can be obtained from the following:
