[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.9rc1 is out

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

AspectJ 1.6.9rc1 is available for download (actually it has been for a
few days).

You can grab it here:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php

The readme describes in more detail the changes in 1.6.9:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-169.html

Changes include:
- support for 'optional aspects'
- declare annotation supports compound signature patterns
- intertype declaration of member types
- reduction in class file sizes

Depending on feedback the final version will be out in a few days.

This version of AspectJ is already in the AJDT builds for 3.5 and 3.6.

If you want to grab AspectJ from a maven repo it is the current
1.6.9.BUILD-SNAPSHOT here:

<repository>
    <id>maven.springframework.org</id>
    <name>SpringSource snapshots</name>
    <url>http://maven.springframework.org/snapshot</url>
</repository>

or the current milestone 1.6.9.RC1 here:

<repository>
    <id>maven.springframework.org</id>
    <name>SpringSource snapshots</name>
    <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
</repository>

thanks!
