New in release 0.16
+* The CORBA implementation is now a working prototype that should support
+ features up till 1.3 inclusive.
+
+ The CORBA prototype is interoperable with Sun's implementation v 1.4,
+ transferring object references, primitive types, narrow and wide
+ strings, arrays, structures, trees, abstract interfaces and
+ value types (feature of CORBA 2.3) between these two platforms.
+ The remote exceptions are transferred and handled correctly.
+ The stringified object references (IORs) from various sources are
+ parsed as required.
+ The transient (for current session) and permanent (till jre restart)
+ redirections work.
+ Both Little and Big Endian encoded messages are accepted.
+ The implementation is verified using tests from the former cost.omg.org.
+ The current release includes the working examples, demonstrating the
+ client-server communication (both DII and DSI).
+ These examples also show how to use the Classpath CORBA naming service.
+ The IDL to java compiler is not yet written, but as our library must be
+ compatible with Sun's implementation, it naturally accepts the output
+ of the Sun's 1.3 idlj.
+ We would invite groups writing CORBA dependent applications to
+ try Classpath implementation, reporting the possible bugs.
+
* GdkGraphics2D has been updated to use Cairo 0.5.0 APIs.
* Better GTK scrollbar peer implementation requiring GTK 2.6 or higher.
* New --with-vm-classes configure option, and new 'build' setting
