[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.9.7.M3 is available

["Alexander Kriegisch" <alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello AspectJ users!

This time with the correct subject and correct quoted message, sorry
sending a wrong one before. We really do have two releases, one for
AspecT and one for the Maven plugin.

We are making progress, so I just published bugfix release 1.9.7.M3.

There are no new features compared to M2 (see below), but one AJ doc
(javadoc-like AspectJ API doc generation) glitch under JDK 8 was
identified and fixed. This actually came up while setting up integration
tests for AspectJ Maven plugin and is a positive side effect of
developing, testing and releasing them together.

Kind regards
