+New in release 0.98 (Feb 05, 2009)
+
+* Native support for BigInteger is now provided using the GMP
+library. A new option, --enable/disable-gmp is provided, and
+the option is enabled by default if GMP is found.
+* Classpath now makes use of a new StringBuilder implementation
+internally called CPStringBuilder. In addition to being
+unsynchronised, like StringBuilder, this also avoids copying the
+array when toString or substring is called. While StringBuffer/Builder
+always retain their own array, which is only altered during resizing,
+CPStringBuilder gives away its array when the result is generated
+by toString()/substring() and starts afresh. The default capacity of
+CPStringBuilder can also be configured using the
+gnu.classpath.cpstringbuilder.capacity property. (PR21869)
+* gjdoc is now built as part of tools.zip.
+* Import of the Java Activation Framework from ClasspathX to provide
+javax.activation (part of 1.6).
+* Preliminary version of java.util.Scanner (PR30436)

+javac and gcj (in that order). You may override this by using
+JAVAC=<preferred javac>

+* Much improved Escher AWT peers
+* Many bug fixes including improvements to AWT and Swing support
Runtime interface changes:
* Add VMFloat.toString(float) and VMFloat.parseFloat(String). Default
implementations are the same as previous behavior.
+* Add new default implementations of VMMemoryMXBean.getHeapUsage()
+ and VMMemoryMXBean.getNonHeapUsage() via iteration over the memory
+ pools of the appropriate type.
