RE: [aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.9M1 released

Hi Andy,

I have a question concerning the compatibility with older aspectj versions.

In particular, we are using a very old version of the AspectJ runtime that comes as part of Websphere Application Server 6.0. According to the MANIFEST.MF it is version 1.2.1.

In your post quoted you mention that the weaver needs to be updated. I guess that does not include the runtime. Unitl now, the old runtime works for us even though not all the API is available. Will this change with the version increasing?`

Thanks, Thomas

Subject: [aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.9M1 released

AspectJ 1.6.9 milestone 1 is now available!  This release includes
some new features:

- message inserts for declare warning/error messages
- declare warning/error for type patterns
- type category type patterns
- intertype fields on classes preserve visibility and name
- AspectJ snapshots are now in an accessible maven repo

More information on all these can be found in the README:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-169.html

AspectJ 1.6.9M1 can be downloaded from the usual place:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php

It is in the AJDT builds for Eclipse 3.5 and Eclipse 3.6.

Please be aware that if you update to this version then you will need
to update any 'downstream' AspectJ weavers that you use (for later
binary weaving or load-time weaving).  Some of the changes above have
required an update to the aspect version format we use and earlier
versions of AspectJ will not completely understand code built by
1.6.9M1.  See this article for more information about this:
http://andrewclement.blogspot.com/2010/04/aspectj-169m1-message-unable-to.html .

The 'milestone' tag does indicate that this is a work in progress
towards the 1.6.9 release.  Any feedback is appreciated on the
milestone so that we can ensure the features are fully robust by
release.

enjoy!
AspectJ team.
