[Proxool-developer] 0.8.0RC2

[Bill H. <bi...@lo...>]

Hi all,

I've just made a preview release of 0.8.0RC2. You can find it here:

http://proxool.sourceforge.net/dev/index.html

The download page will give you access to the binary and source
distributions.

It would be really helpful if people could try it out in any sort of
environment they can. Mark Eagle and I have sorted out a problem with
RC1 inside WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) to do with
class loading. 

This is a really important release for us because of the switch away
from the JDK proxy to CGLIB's library - it enables us to distribute one
product for all JDKs (JDK 1.2+). Plus Christian's JMX code.

There are also numerous bug fixes since 0.7.2 (and a few since
0.8.0RC1). Sorry, the changelog only lists the changes since 0.7.2 and
doesn't show the differences since 0.8.0RC1 - I'll get that right next
time).

If all goes well, I intend to release 0.8.0 final sometime around the 20
October (I'm on holiday next week).

As well as testing the code, please also be on the lookout for
missing/extra files in the distributions and corrections in the doc. 

Happy Testing!
Regards,
Bill Horsman
