+<boxitem>
+We are proud to announce the release of GNU Classpath 0.97.2,
+the second bugfix release for GNU Classpath 0.97.
+<p>
+GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create
+free core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools
+for the java programming language.
+<p>
+The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed
+at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development
+platforms. For example JamVM, CACAO and Kaffe can make use of an installed
+copy of GNU Classpath 0.97.2, while GCC (gcj) will use the developer
+snapshots as a base for future versions. For more projects based on GNU
+Classpath, <createlink
url="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html";>
+</p>
+<p>
+This is the second of a new series of bugfix releases that follow a major (0.x)
+release. A 0.x.y release will only contain minor bug fixes. It will not cause
+major changes in the functionality of GNU Classpath, either for better or for
+worse.
+</p>
+<p>
+With this bugfix release, the following issues have been resolved:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Include headers in the release tarball.</li>
+<li>Allow the building of tools to be optional.</li>
+<li>Only check for a Java compiler when required.</li>
+<li>Allow VMOperatingSystemMXBeanImpl to compile on Solaris.</li>
+<li>Documentation typo fixe.</li>
+<li>Fix memory leak in native/jni/classpath/jcl.</li>
+<li>Web page updates (PR classpath/22883.</li>
+<li>Fixes to pass the JSR166 TCK.</li>
+<li>Use awk to construct the classlist on buildin.</li>
+<li>Fix deadlock in Logger (PR classpath/35974.</li>
+<li>Fix regression in java.lang.String (PR classpath/35482.</li>
+<li>Allow Classpath tools to handle @file options.</li>
+<li>Allow parseInt to handle a + prefix correctly.</li>
+<li>Remove use of 1.5 language constructs in the VM layer.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+From the 0.95 release, we switched fully towards the 1.5 generics work
+that we previously released separately as classpath-generics. All this work
+is now fully integrated in the main release and various runtimes (gcj,
+cacao, jamvm, ikvm, etc) have been extended to take advantage of the
+new generics, annotations and enumeration support in the core
+library. As a consequence, only 1.5 capable compilers (currently the Eclipse
+Compiler for Java (ecj) and Sun's javac) may be used to build Classpath.
+<p>
+The GNU Classpath developers site
+<createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/";>
+provides detailed information on how to start with helping the GNU
+Classpath project and gives an overview of the core class library
+packages currently provided.
+<p>
+For each snapshot release generated documentation is provided through
+the GNU Classpath Tools gjdoc project,which will become part of GNU Classpath
+itself with the release of 0.98. A documentation generation
+framework for java source files used by the GNU project. Full
+documentation on the currently implementated packages and classes can
+be found at: <createlink url="http://developer.classpath.org/doc/";>
+We are looking into how to extend the documentation experience in the
+future. Please contact the mailinglist if you would like to help with
+this effort.
