-JBoss AOP Release Notes
-=======================
-
---------------
-JBossAOP 1.1
---------------
-* Added ability to specify typed parameters in advice
-* added PER_CLASS_JOINPOINT.  Creates aspect instance per class, per joinpoint
-* Rewrote ClassProxyFactory so that proxies created don't require RMI remote classloading on creation
-* Wrote a ProxyFactory that can generate optimized AOP proxies based on interfaces only
-* All proxy factories can accept mixins.  (See API)
-* Added getCallingObject to XXXXCalledByMethodInvocation classes.
-* Added concept of a <domain>.  This is a sub AspectManager that has its own set of bindings, etc...
-* Added concept of ClassContainer.  This can be used for Proxy-based AOP and is used by EJB 3.0 container.
-* ClassAdvisors are now keyed based on Class rather than class name.  This should fix numerous hot-deployment bugs
-and allow for classloader scoping when we wire in the <domain> concept.
-* $instanceof{} and $typedef can be used for field types, constructor parameters, and method parameters and return 
-types in pointcut expressions and type expressions
-* $instanceof{} allows the use of wildcards and annotations
-* Basic support for annotating POJOs with Prepare
-* Added switch to aopc compiler to turn off optimizations easily
-* type expressions can now match on throws clauses
-
-
---------------
-JBossAOP 1.0 Final
---------------
-* Eclipse IDE integration
-* execution and call pointcuts can now match on throws clauses
-* Fixed bug in that JDK 1.4 annotation compiler couldn't handle class member values of primitives i.e. long.class
-* Added better support for JDK 1.4 load-time transformations.  See doco for more detail
-* joinpoints with underscores are now legal join points
-* introduction expressions now can have typedefs within boolean expression.
-* Fixed bug when ant aopc taskline is too long.
-
-
---------------
-JBossAOP 1.0 RC2
---------------
-* Added DTD finally and DTD parsing
-* <annotation> tag has been renamed to <metadata> as we're not defining an annotaton, but rather metadata.
-* <annotation-loader> tag has been renamed to <metadata-loader>
-* Added integration with JDK 5.0 java.lang.instrument.  Very clean classloader integration now.  No need for SystemClassLoader plugin for JDK 5.0.
-* <aspect> can take a factory now
-* <aspect> class can no longer be XmlLoadable
-* <interceptor> can take a scope now <interceptor scope="PER_INSTANCE"/>
-* InterceptorFactory should only be used if you are inserting them directoy within AdviceBinding.  AspectFactory should be used now for all InterceptorFactory's as <interceptor> now supports SCOPE.
-* <mixin>'s can now be declared as non-transient fields by doing:  <mixin transient="false">.  This allows mixins to be serialized.
-* If you don't specify a factory, you can configure your aspects/interceptors as java beans.  See the beanstyleconfig tutorial item.
-* Added annotation replacement for XML.  @Aspect, @Bind, @PointcutDef, etc...  See tutorial/docs for more info.
-* Created full complete reference manual available in PDF and HTML.
-* Fixed debugger bug.  AOPC was overwriting debugger information
-
-
-
---------------
-JBossAOP 1.0 RC1
---------------
-* New $typedef feature.  Allows you to define type expressions, name them, then use them in pointcut definitions.  See the typedef example in tutorial.
-* added PER_JOINPOINT scoping for Aspects. An aspect instance is allocated per joinpoint.
-* aop now has a separate build for JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5
-* AnnotationCompiler AnnotationElement now uses JDK 1.5 functions to obtaining metadata data.
-* add type specific Invocation generation for execution private and protected method, field get/set, and also caller side.  Now there is no more reflection in optimization mode
-* break out of different set/get chains.  There is now a separate interceptor/aspect chain for a field get and field set.  Before they were the say
-* Put versioning info within JAR's manifest
-* Completely removed use of reflection from JBoss AOP.  Performance microbench speedups for all joinpoint types.
-* InterceptorFactory.create now takes a Joinpoint argument so that you can create interceptors based on a Joinpoint.
-* Fixed bug in AspectManager.addClassMetaData
-* Fixed bug in redeploying of precompiled classes in JBoss.
-
-
-
---------------
-JBossAOP Beta3
---------------
-* Updated to support JDK 1.5 Beta2 annotations (1.5 beta2 class format changed)
-* Added a reflection aspect library that filters out JBoss AOP class modifications
-* Fixed bug in handling of static and !static pointcut expressions
-* AnnotationCompiler now support JDK 1.5 Beta2
-* AnnotationCompiler now supports enums 
-
-
---------------
-JBossAOP Beta2
---------------
-* JSR-175/JDK 1.5 Annotation support
-* Annotation compiler for JDK 1.4.  You can do JDK 1.5 annotation bytecode with JDK 1.4
-* <annotation-introduction> to introduce JDK 1.5 annotations (works with JDK 1.4 annotation compiler too)
-* pluggable pointcut
-* dynamic cflow
-* 30% Performance improvement on public method and constructor interception
-* 30% improvement on Aspect/advice invocations
-* add support for !static !public to grammar
-* distinguish between within (classexpr) and withincode(method | constructor) as it is more readable.
-* move within and withcode outside of call expression
-* has and hasfield. These should state, if joinpoint and joinpoint has method xxx.  
-* add a clone to Invocation so that you can continue on with chain in a separate thread
-* type expressions for introductions
-* Get working with JBoss 3.2
-* fixed thread safety bug in ClassInstanceAdvisor creation
-* encapsulate all fields so that we can override easier.  Wrappers need to work better in this regard too by delegating back to the original invocation object
-* add more metadata to Caller side so that you can traverse back to calling method.
-* Let jboss.aop.path accept directories.
-* No public access on Invocation subclasses anymore
-* Invocation is now refactored into an interface org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.Invocation and a base class InvocationBase 
-
-JBossAOP Beta1
---------------
-* make aop test work.
-* compiler, add a precompiler so control of ClassLoader is not needed
-    - add sys property for jboss-aop.xml classpath
-    - add -verbose switch
-    - in runtime loader make sure that if CtClass instanceof Advised then do not transform class
-*ant task
-* Create ways of loading XML in standalone mode so that control of the ClassLoader is not needed
-*  constructor expressions so that we can have constructor interceptors
-* method expressions so that we can specify parameter expressions in pointcut
-* metadata definitions with expressions
-* Scope of Aspects
-* aspect concept (class grouping of advices)
-* fine grain "prep" fine grained definition of bytecode manipulation
-* Metadata pointcut
-* Get rid of tail interceptors
-* Add more metadata to CallerInvocation
-* performance tune: add a field to class for each method's MethodInfo to avoid hash lookup.
-* performance tune: add code to static initializer so that ClassAdvisor caller advices get initialized
-* Bug: Need to be able to have caller pointcuts from within a constructor
-* field(..) matches set or get
-* &lt;class-metadata should not add a group to the class, it should only do it for components within
-* move metadata, introduction expressions to same model as pointcut expression language
-* metadata should be divided into class, default, method, field, constructor
-* AspectManagerService should have switch to turn off runtime loader
-  - should be off by default.  Tests should turn it on.
-* Add Tx Exception configuration.  What exceptions cause a rollback, which do not?
-* Add Tx Lock annotations
-* instanceof
-* Control flow
-* performance tune: on InstanceAdvisor don't allocate metadata unless necessary.  Make InstanceAdvisor a MetaDataResolver.
-* get rid of InvocationType
-* Use ast/ClassExpression in Metadata and introduction-pointcut.  Make sure instanceof works there too.
-* Management Console 
-  - metadata
-  - Caller view
-* XDoclet support for annotations
-* call(constructor) needs to be implemented this is hard than it looks as you must figure out of class has constructor interception  or not at reflection time.
-* BUG:  When advised object is serialized, when it comes back, we need to create instanceAdvisor and mixins.
-* clean up introduction bytecode manipulation so that there is no extra _add_m0$ crap methods.
-* Update Tx
-* Update TxLock
-* Update Security
-* Update Management Console
-* Fix TxSynchronized so that it runs off of base-aop.xml

-   - MethodInvocation
-   - FieldReadInvocation
-   - FieldWriteInvocation
-   - ConstructorInvocation
-   - CallerInvocation (for caller pointcut calls)
-4. There should be a performance improvement of a factor of 6
-5. Web Console was updated for new pointcut types
-6. trove.jar was added to release
