[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.9.0 released

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

AspectJ 1.9.0 is finally released, after multiple betas and release candidates.  The README can be found here:

https://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-190.html - thanks to everyone in the community who provided feedback, sample code and test cases to iron out as many issues as possible.

The key changes in 1.9.0:

- primary change is that it supports compiling/weaving Java 9 code/modules.

- some new APIs have been added to the runtime jar, these are used by the generated code when building join points. It should reduce the amount of class loading done at runtime. If you try it out (you need to turn on a flag to try it out), any feedback is welcome!

- Incorporates the Spring AOP improvements that were made in recent 1.8.X releases.

It should appear in central in the next day or so.

cheers,

Andy
