-------------------- Changes from version 1.1 to 1.1.1 --------------------
This version fixes a couple of problems with AWT/Swing and XML.
It also again contains a version for Linux and the compiler
binary downloads are smaller.



-------------------- Changes from version 1.0.1 to 1.1 --------------------
Major Changes:
- Update to GCC revision 121694 (GCJ 4.3)
  This finally brings support for Java 1.5.
- Enhanced support for AWT/Swing:
  o Added support for Linux (all examples now also have Linux binaries)
  o Fixed the problem that applications didn't always start on Windows
  o Fixed GIF images

Minor Changes:
- Custom GCJ flags can now be set for the main compilation only
- Fixed binary packing for Windows 2000 and NT
  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/201318)
- Fixed an error that occurred when nothing was imported from a jar



-------------------- Changes from version 1.0 to 1.0.1 --------------------

- Fixed a bug that prevented AWT/Swing applications to compile if they were in a jar



-------------------- Changes from version 0.9 to 1.0 --------------------

- Renamed the Project to JavaNativeCompiler (JNC) because NativeJ was already
  used by another company/product what lead to misunderstandings
- Added complete support for AWT/Swing
- Update to GCC revision 119844 (4.2.0 branch)
- Added support for automatic detection of the most recent compilers
- Fixed a bug that prevented AutoCompiler to "beep" after compiling
- Fixed the problem that the Linux version didn't open the manual
- Fixed a couple of minor bugs and problems



-------------------- Update to GCC revision 119022 (4.2.0 branch) --------------------

Main changes since the revision 117867:
- Serialization now works on Windows
- More fixes and speedups for JAR certificate validation
- Runtime.exec() now uses the envp argument on Windows
- The message-bundle depency of regular expression was removed

There are a lot more changes in this new GCC release that I don't
know about. Just give it a try :-)



-------------------- Changes from version 0.8 to 0.9 --------------------

Main changes:
- Renamed the project to NativeJ
- Changed it from free to cost 39.90$ per developer
- Added a version for Linux
- Added support to create much smaller binaries:
	Stats for compiling NativeJ 0.9 (it's written in Java):
	- 17.7mb (upx: 4.44mb) with JavaCompiler 0.8
	-  6.7mb (upx: 1.96mb) with NativeJ 0.9

Complete list:
- Completely revised the GUI
- Split the downloads into packages
- Updated GCJ to 4.2.0, revision 117867
- Removed SwingWT, it didn't really work anyway
- Removed the precompiled SWT and JFace
	Just add your Jars to the project. That works without problems.
- Removed Retroweaver, it is not (and never was) needed
- Added support to only pull in needed classes from Jars
- Added support to set the java.library.path
- Added code-optimization (reduces the size and speeds up execution)
- Added support to show the used commands during compilation
- Added support to provide own flags
- Added support to exclude AWT/Swing
- Added support to exclude JCE
- Added the regex package to the compiler
- Added support for Jar-caching
- Added the possibility to configure the path of the GCJs
- Fixed a lot of minor problems and implemented requested features
