This update includes a number of bug fixes to the 20030901 release, improvements to exception handling for the TypeNotFound case, additional i18n messages dealing with type related warning and errors, general documetation updates, the addition of new tutorials dealing with assembly strategies and alternatives, lots of javadoc updates, additions to the bootstrap loader to support listing of the bootstrap classloader, improvements to error messages related to block loading, enhanced support for URL based loading of blocks, configurations and kernel defintions, and simplification of the working home directory model. Finally, this distibution removes SNAPSHOT dependencies and is linked to the following release candidate distributions [1]:
avalon-framework-4.1.5-RC3 excalibur-configuration-1.1-RC1 excalibur-i18n-1.1-RC1 avalon-meta-1.1-RC1
Please note that the revision to the working directory may impact impact applications that are using a home directory for registration of persistent content. Under prior releases, the working directory path was [root]/home/[partition]/[component-name]/. This has been changed to [root]/[partition]/[component-name] where [root] is the value specified under the -home command line parameter. If -home is not specified, the default value of ${user.dir}/home is assumed.
