+<p>All known P1 and P2 bugs have been fixed in this release. The

+enhancements</a> can be found on bugzilla.
+Some of the more significant bug fixes and enhancements include:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46347">46347</a>
The ajc compiler now can read .class files from directories as well as
- zip files for bytecode weaving.
+ zip files for bytecode weaving, via the new -inpath option.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48080">48080</a>
+ Error and warning messages emitted as a result of a declare error or
+ declare warning statement now include context information that indicates
+ the matched join point.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54819">54819</a>
+ Error and warning messages coming from the weaving phase of compilation now
+ show source context wherever it is available, and also indicate as the source
+ location of the error either the class file or jar file from which the binary
+ source unit came.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36430">36430</a>
+ A new -Xreweavable option has been added which allows class files to be woven
+ more than once.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49250">49250</a>
+ SoftException now supports getCause().
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51320">51320</a>
+ AspectJ 1.2 now gives a compilation error if one of the non-statically determinable
+ pointcut forms is used in a declare statement.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=53012">53012</a>
+ Declaring precedence on a class type (rather than an aspect type) is now an
+ error unless subtypes are included.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36069">36069</a>
+ The source information for inlined advice is now correct (using JSR 45).
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34206">34206</a>
+ (See also <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=44587">44587</a>).
+ Errors occuring during static initialisation of an aspect are now handled much more gracefully.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41952">41952</a>
+ A new Xlint warning warns users specifying declaring type patterns in
+ call pointcut designators if the pointcut does not match at places they
+ may expect it to.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42574">42574</a>
+ -extdirs opion now recognises .zip files as well as .jar.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48091">48091</a>
+ New option -XlazyTjp defers creation of JoinPoint objects until just before
+ calling the advice body that requires them. This allows the cost of creating
+ JoinPoint objects to be avoided using an if() pointcut test that returns
+ false when the advice body is not required to be executed. Speed-ups of 10-100X are
+ obtained via this optimisation (as compared to putting the test inside the advice
+ body).
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45441">45441</a>
+ IncompatibleClassChangeError at runtime when compiling with the -1.4 option.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54625">54625</a>
+ Incremental compilation did not support the -outjar option, but silently
+ failed if it was specified. AspectJ 1.2 always performs a full build when
+ the -outjar option is present.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54965">54965</a>
+ Incremental compilation under AspectJ 1.2 is approximately twice as fast as
+ under AspectJ 1.1.1.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=55134">55134</a>
+ Incremental compilation now deletes any additional class files generated during
+ the weave phase when the class file from whence they came is deleted.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=50200">50200</a>
+ The aspectjrt.jar manifest file now has the correct (upper) case.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49457">49457</a>
+ No error given when overloading pointcuts, unless variables are bound.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=50776">50776</a>
+ Compilation failure when overriding an inter-type declared method with a
+ different throws clause.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51919">51919</a>
+ Polymorphic inter-type declaration fails.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=52464">52464</a>
+ Declare warning coupled with inter-type declaration causes compiler crash.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41125">41125</a>
+ Variable names in the local variable table (for debugging) are now correctly
+ preserved in all cases.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=43792">43792</a>
+ Improved support for non-US locales (and significantly boosted weaver
+ performance at the same time).
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35636">35636</a>
+ AspectJ 1.2 behaves much more gracefully when running out of memory. (It also
+ requires less memory than 1.1.1 did in any case).
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42711">42711</a>
+ Super-types of parameters not recognised when calling priveleged methods.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=43972">43972</a>
+ (See also <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45676">45676</a>).
+ Incorrectly adding synthetic attribute to generated methods.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45184">45184</a>
+ External pointcut references not resolved when a named pointcut is used by a
+ declare statement.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46750">46750</a>
+ Declare soft does not work inside a nested aspect.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=47754">47754</a>
+ No error signalled when attempting to declare a static method on an interface
+ using an inter-type declaration.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48522">48522</a>
+ Declare soft softens all exceptions at matched join points, not just the
+ exception declared to be soft.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49295">49295</a>
+ AspectJ 1.2 no longer supports inter-type constructor declarations on interfaces.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51929">51929</a>
+ Call to a protected super-type method within a advice body causes java.lang.VerifyError.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=52928">52928</a>

+ valid manifest file.
+ </li>
