Revision history for Perl extension Inline::Java ------------------------------------------------ 0.46 Web Feb 04 20:00:00 EST 2004 - Fixed Natives.xs to work with ExtUtils::ParseXS 0.45 Fri Jan 30 20:00:00 EST 2004 - Fixed Makefile.PL arguments that were getting lost - Fixed deprecated require call - Fixed support for symbolic links in J2SDK directory - Basic support for J2SDK 1.5 - Added new experimental feature: PerlNatives 0.44 Sun Nov 23 15:47:06 EST 2003 - Callbacks from multiple threads are now supported - Refactored (again...) studying/.jdat/cache stuff - Added PRIVATE mode for use with SHARED_JVM - Added DEBUGGER mode that launches jdb - Fixed memory leak in JNI code (patch submitted by Dave Blob) 0.43 Tue Oct 14 13:18:25 EDT 2003 - Restored $VERSION in each .pm file - Inline::Java now formerly requires Perl 5.6 0.42 Fri Sep 5 13:18:25 EDT 2003 - Fixed more CLASSPATH issues. CLASSPATH now works like this: * CLASSPATH environment variable is global * CLASSPATH configuration option is local to the user class loader - Added method cache to increase performance and decrease reflection API calls - Altered and documented the study_classes() function - Added EXTRA_JAVA_ARGS and EXTRA_JAVAC_ARGS config options 0.41 Mon Jul 14 13:18:25 EDT 2003 - Fixed CLASSPATH bug - Possibly (!) fixed test suite problems under heavy load 0.40 Fri Apr 11 11:00:00 EST 2003 - Patch by Doug MacEachern to allow running under servlet engines. - Patch by John Kinsley for handling empty arrays. - Custom ClassLoader allows for better isolation of user code and dynamic 'CLASSPATH' (multiple sections/clients are now totally independant). - Core Java code is now compiled separately (at install time) instead of with the user code (for each script). This dramatically improves build time. - Default port number changed to 0 (next available port number). This allows many multiple users to run concurrently without clashes. Note: The default port on systems where this feature is not available has remained 7890. Note: The default port for SHARED_JVM mode is now 7891. - SHARED_JVM mode now calls release_JVM() automatically. - UTF8 support - User code can now be a public class and (optionally) inside a package. - Callback classes have changed. Note: These classes are now in the org.perl.inline.java package. Note: PerlException has been renamed InlineJavaPerlException. Note: If you presently use callbacks, your code may now no longer compile. You will need to apply the changes listed above to fix it. - study_classes now returns the package in which the studied classes have been put. - Many bug fixes and documentation corrections. 0.33 Mon Jun 17 13:50:14 EDT 2002 - Improved and more flexible debug output - Auto loading of thread libraries under Solaris - Basic support for J2SDK 1.4 - Other minor bug fixes 0.32 Sat Apr 6 11:45:06 EST 2002 - Restored compatibility with perl 5.005_03 - Other minor bug fixes 0.31 Mon Feb 4 15:45:06 EDT 2002 - Exception handling (Perl can 'catch' Java exceptions) - Callbacks to Perl from Java - More complete test suite - Improved documentation and related examples - Improved installation script and directions - Other minor bug fixes 0.30 Mon Sep 17 15:45:06 EDT 2001 - JVM server is now multi-threaded - Added 'SHARED_JVM' option for mod_perl support - Beefed up test suite 0.23 Thu Aug 30 08:41:11 EDT 2001 - Added support for multiple Inline sections using a special notation in the CLASSPATH. - Added the 'fix' Makefile.PL option au automatically fix the Makefile for Win95/98/Me. 0.22 Fri Jun 1 13:31:35 EDT 2001 - Fixed up Inline::Java to work with Inline 0.41 - Added support for java.lang.Number as a primitive numeric type. Any Perl scalar passed as a java.lang.Number will instantiate a java.lang.Double on the Java side. 0.21 Tue May 8 11:32:28 EDT 2001 - Added 'studying' of external Java classes - Added support for default no-arg constructors for public classes - Caching for class information - Added error message stating that Inline::Java doesn't currently support multiple sections 0.20 Sat Apr 14 23:00:00 EDT 2001 - Added optional JNI extension. - Added support for arrays. - Added support for public member variables. - Added support for public static member variables. - Added type casting. 0.01 Thu Feb 15 14:01:25 EST 2001 - Created Inline::Java.
