My thinking was that the 0.0x releases are actually the pre-releases
while we work towards the first real GNU Classpath 1.0 release. People
can combine these pre-releases with their own VMs like gcj, kissme,
jikesRVM, Jaos, etc already do. But as long as we don't have at least a
minimum of functionality to offer (we are hoping that 1.0 will have the
equivalent functionality as core libraries that come with some
proprietary 1.1 JDKs) and a stable/maintainable VM interface we cannot
call it a real release. We do hope that people try these pre-releases
out to create compilers and/or VM environments so they can give us
feedback what should be improved for the real 1.0 release.
(And I also don't have access to ftp.gnu.org)
Cheers,
