Lot's of changes, but the major one is that Java's primitive type byte is now mapped to System.Byte instead of System.SByte. This makes interoperability between Java and other .NET code much easier (since System.Byte is in the CLS), although you have to be a little careful because Java's byte is signed and System.Byte is unsigned.

Changes:

• Changed assembly versions to 0.11.*
• Sync'ed with GNU Classpath cvs.
• Added hack to support new Classpath awt event model.
• Changed mapping of Java primitive byte from System.SByte to System.Byte, to remove the need for ByteArrayHack and better/easier interop with CLS code.
• Regenerated mscorlib.jar, System.jar and System.Xml.jar with new ikvmstub (to deal with the new byte <-> System.Byte mapping).
• Added optional support for compiling GNU Classpath with ecj to the build script. NOTE: The ecj -1.5 option is used to generate 1.5 compatible class files, so you must set the IKVM_EXPERIMENTAL_JDK_5_0 environment variable prior to starting the build process. When ecj is used to compile GNU Classpath with the -1.4 option, the build will fail because the resulting assembly is not verifiable. This is because ikvmc doesn't currently handle the way ecj compiles Java 1.4 class literals when used in the invocation of a base class constructor (this obviously isn't a common scenario, but it will be supported in a future version).
• Added partial support for the new Java 5 StringBuilder class.
• Changed the ikvm.lang.CIL boxing/unboxing methods dealing with bytes to account for the changed mapping.
• Deprecated ikvm.lang.ByteArrayHack (it now contains only a single cast method that "casts" from byte[] to byte[], it will be removed in a future version).
• Added ugly workaround for return type covariance in the IResourceReader interface.
• Cleaned up setting the thread group when attaching a native thread.
• Fixed JNI direct buffer APIs to support all types of java.nio.Buffer, not just ByteBuffer.
• Implemented VMClassLoader.getPackages() to support enumerating packages defined by the bootstrap class loader. This is currently disabled on Mono due to a bug in Assembly.GetTypes() on Mono 1.0.5 and 1.1.3.
• Implemented new stack walking mechanism that fully supports skipping over reflection and native stack frames.
• Changed reflection to use new stack walking mechanism.
• Changed native library loading to use new stack walking mechanism.
• Fixed ikvmstub to return error value if it fails.
• Added optional support to the build script to build a AMD64 version of JVM.DLL.
• Fixed DynamicInvokeVirtual to actually do a virtual method invocation, instead of a non-virtual invocation.
• Collapsed TypeWrapper.TypeAsParameterType and TypeWrapper.TypeAsFieldType into a single new property TypeWrapper.TypeAsSignatureType.
• Fixed JNI_CreateJavaVM to support all valid JNI versions.
• Fixed JNI DestroyJavaVM to return success when "destroying" the VM (even though -- like Sun -- we don't support actually destroying the VM).
• Fixed JNI DetachCurrentThread to return success when detaching an already detached thread.
• Fixed JNI FindClass to reject class names with dots and added support for signature format class names (e.g. [Ljava/lang/Object;), it also throws NoClassDefFoundError now instead of ClassNotFoundException.
• Made some minor tweaks to JNI local ref allocation algorithms.
• Changed reflective non-virtual method invocation to do a virtual invocation when invoking interfaces methods (for compatibility with Sun) and to use the regular reflection code path when invoking non-virtual methods or virtual methods that are guaranteed not to be overridden.
• FieldWrapper.EmitGet/EmitSet and MethodWrapper.EmitCall[virt] no longer convert the field/return value from SignatureType to StackType, this is now left to the caller.
• Fixed regression that could cause TypeWrapper constructor to try to construct a Class object for unloadable types (and this could result in an exception when an unloadable array type was constructed).
• Renamed method TypeWrapper.EmitConvParameterToStackType to TypeWrapper.EmitConvSignatureTypeToStackType
• Renamed method TypeWrapper.EmitConvStackToParameterType to TypeWrapper.EmitConvStackTypeToSignatureType.
• Fixed native method invocation stubs to handle ghost types correctly.
• Fixed reflection on .NET types to report Sealed and Abstract types as abstract only (the final abstract combination isn't legal in Java).
• Improved handling of clashing method names for private interface methods.
• Improved generation of base type method "hiders" for remapped types to support additional method overloads on Whidbey.
