[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.12 released

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot to send this, but many of you have noticed. AspectJ 1.6.12 is
released and 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).

It is already in AJDT.

It is in maven central.

Next release should hopefully be 1.7 - based on the Eclipse Java 7 compiler.

Enjoy!
