Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of JamVM 1.2.1
(http://jamvm.sourceforge.net).  The following changes have been made
since 1.2.0:

- Standalone jar files can now be executed via the -jar command line option

- Updated to use Classpath-0.12 
        - Merged changes to reference VMClassLoader, reflect/Method
        - Now uses Classpath's system class loader
        - VMAccessController implemented (patch from Casey Marshall)

- 5-10% interpreter speed improvement

- Improved ARM platform support
        - Big Endian systems
        - Soft floating point

- SMP memory barriers on Intel and PowerPC

- Fix for certain Unicode chars in JNI method names

- Intel FP bug fix (Debian bug no. 260410).  Use double (64-bit) rather
  than extended (80-bit) precision

- Memory leak when two threads compete to load a class (rare race
  condition)

- Handle SIGPIPE, stopping the VM aborting.

Thanks,

Rob.
