Re: [DrJava] DrJava Stable Release Update 20080904

[Dan S. <dl...@ri...>]

A DrJava stable release update has been posted.

Release Notes:

Available for download at http://drjava.org. This is a minor update to  
the recent stable release, fixing a bug in the execution of unit tests.

Notes from the original stable release (20080828):

Most prominently, a bug in JDK 1.6.0_04+ has rendered previous stable  
versions of "drjava.exe" unusable when compiling with affected JDKs (a  
"Cannot read zip file entry" error will occur). This release addresses  
the issue.

Major new features include i) an improved Interactions interpreter  
with full support for generics and ii) integrated support for external- 
process-based tools. Performance of "Find Next" and "Find All" has  
been dramatically improved, as well as the performance of auto- 
indenting.

The project file format has been changed (as of release  
drjava-20080415-1537-r4441). Previous DrJava version will not  
recognize the new project file format.

Users may also notice i) an optional platform-information survey at  
startup, and ii) automatic background checking for new DrJava  
versions. (Both of these can be turned off.)
