[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.12.RC1 available

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

AspectJ 1.6.12 release candidate 1 is now available from the downloads page:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php

The readme is here:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-1612.html

Besides bug fixes and a bit of performance work this includes a couple
of new things (detailed in the readme):
- ability to use != when matching annotation values, e.g. get(@Foo(num!=4) * *)
- for Loadtime Weaving, the ability to wire a pointcut up to a java
method in aop.xml, circumventing the need to write/compile an abstract
aspect (and abstract pointcut).

This should be in tomorrows AJDT builds.

Final release will be in a week and it will be in maven shortly after that,

Enjoy!
