Painting and scrolling are now much + faster. Plain text components now support highlighting and + copy+paste to the system clipboard. Support for styled text has been + improved, including some very basic HTML support. JFileChooser is + now usable. Global event dispatching has been implemented.

Improved support for mixing "lightweight" and "heavyweight" + Components in Containers. Better support for dynamically updated + menus. Better 1.0 event model support for Scrollbars. Better class + documentation of gtk+ awt peers. + +* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into GNU Classpath; this + provides Classpath with a wide array of cryptographic algorithms + (ciphers, message digests, etc.) and implementations of SSL version + 3 and TLS version 1. These roughly complement the public + `java.security.' `javax.crypto,' and `javax.net.ssl' packages, and + are service providers implementing the underlying algorithms. + +* Updated HTTP and FTP URLConnection protocol handlers. HTTPS support + out of the box. + +* Unicode 4.0.0 is supported. Character now includes support for using + ether a char or an int to identify code points. + +* More correct handling of Object methods and serialization support + for Proxy and abstract classes. + +* The new folder tools includes GIOP and RMI stub and tie source code + generators, IOR parser and both transient and persistent GIOP naming + services. + +* Added experimental support for dynamic creation of the RMI stubs + using proxy classes. The rmic compiler is no longer required (unless + for research and specific stubs). + +* XML validaton support for RELAX NG and W3C XML schema namespace + URIs. RELAX NG pluggable XML schema datatype library API and an + implementation for XML Schema Datatypes + (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/). + +* Updated StAX implementaton to be compatible with final JSWDP 2.0. + +* The default back end for java.util.prefs has been changed. The new + default is capable of saving and restoring preferences to and from + the file system. + +* javax.imageio.plugins.bmp implementation. + +* Added --enable-collections configure option which builds + "collections.jar", a 1.1 VM compatibility jar. + +* gnu.regexp updated from GNU/Posix syntax to support util.regex + syntax including various Unicode blocks, categories and properties. + +Runtime interface changes: + +* A new class, VMMath, is now available which separates the native + mathematical functions from java.lang.Math. The previous fdlibm + implementation now forms the reference material for this class. + +* Updated VMObjectInputStream class to return Thread context class + loader if no other class loader is found. + +* Updated documentation on InstrumentationImpl in vmintegration guide. + New in release 0.20 (Jan 13, 2006) * New StAX pull parser and SAX-over-StAX driver.
