<h2>Improvements</h2>
-<p>
- In annotation style aspects, asynchronous <tt>proceed()</tt> calls in <tt>@Around</tt> advice now works in threads
- created from within the advice. Previously, this was only working in native syntax aspects. There is still a
- limitation with regard to asynchronous proceed, if you do not create the thread in the advice but want to use e.g.
- an <tt>ExecutorService</tt> with its own thread pool. This still is not working in annotation style aspects, only in
- native syntax ones.

Please note that presently there is no specific sample code for virtual threads and structured concurrency in the
AspectJ code base, because these are just new APIs, no Java language features. You can find sample code for these
concurrency features elsewhere, e.g. in the corresponding JEPs. In AspectJ, they should just work transparently

<li>
- Fix a bug which led to <tt>NullPointerException</tt>s if too many JAR archives were on the classpath. Too many here
- means the value system property <tt>org.aspectj.weaver.openarchives</tt> (1,000 by default). The AspectJ compiler is
- meant to close archives upon cache exhaustion and then re-open them if it needs them again later. Re-opening was
- broken, now the compiler works reliably even for cache sizes as small as 20. See issue
- <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/issues/125">#125</a>.
+ Fix (or rather work around) an old bug occurring when compiling or weaving code using ITD to declare annotations
+ with <tt>SOURCE</tt> retention on types, methods, constructors or fields. While declaring such annotations does not
+ make sense to begin with, at least the AspectJ weaver or compiler should handle the situation gracefully, which now
+ it does by simply ignoring errors caused by it. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366085">
+ Bugzilla #366085</a> and <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/pull/196">pull request #196</a>. Better
+ than this workaround would be for the compiler or weaver to actually print a warning when meeting source level
+ annotations in declare statements. Hence, follow-up issue
+ <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/issues/201">#201</a> was created.
