KAFFE v0.3p1 - A JIT virtual machine to run Java(tm)* code
==========================================================
Kaffe is a virtual machine design to execute Java bytecode. Unlike
other virtual machines available, this machine performs "just-in-time"
code conversion from the abstract code to the host machine's native code.
This will ultimately allow execution of Java code at the same speed as
standard compiled code but while maintaining the advantages and
flexibility
of code independence.
This version of Kaffe will run on the following platforms:
i386 FreeBSD 2.0.5R & 2.1.0R
i386 Linux 1.2.13
i386 NetBSD 1.1R & current
i386 Solaris 2.4
i386 BSDI 2.1
i386 Unixware
Other platforms will be added as and when I have time.
Essentially this is a bug fix release. No major functionality additions
have been made, although some extra platforms are now supported.
