This is a bugfix release and fixes two flaws in the 0.7 release:

• A memory leak.
• Instrumentation of methods belonging to abstract classes was not possible.

Checkout the revision rel_0_7_2 from the CVS or download the precompiled distribution from [http://aspectwerkz.codehaus.org/releases.html].

This release fixes many of the bugs that were introduced with the new join point model in the 0.6.x release (which was a complete rewrite).

It also has some new interesting features.

Here is a list of some of the changes and features:

• cflow (control flow) pointcuts.
• Uses new version of JMangler (3.0.2) which is released under LGPL.
• Performance improvement for advices by a factor of 2.
• Many, many bugfixes (introduced by the new pointcut model implementation in 0.6.x).
• The runtime attributes tag's syntax has changed. (They now have an aspectwerkz namespace and are using the same syntax as XDoclet.)
• Documentation and examples have been updated.

Enjoy.
