+<h1>AspectJ 1.9.6</h1>
+<p>The full list of resolved issues in 1.9.6 is available 
+<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&f0=OP&f1=OP&f3=CP&f4=CP&j1=OR&list_id=16866879&product=AspectJ&query_format=advanced&target_milestone=1.9.6">here</a></h2>.</p>
+
+<p>AspectJ 1.9.6 supports Java14. Java14 introduces records, but you must activate support for that via 
+an <tt>--enable-preview</tt> flag when using the compiler and attempting to run the resultant classes:
+
+Here is <tt>Code.java</tt>:
+<pre><code>
+=======8<=========
+public record Person(String firstName, String lastName, int age) {}
+=======8<=========
+
+=======8<=========
+public class UsingPersonRecord {
+  public static void main(String[] argv) {
+    Person p = new Person("A","B",99);
+    System.out.println(p);
+    System.out.println(p.firstName());
+  }
+}
+=======8<=========
+
+=======8<=========
+public aspect TraceRecordComponents {
+  before(): execution(public * *()) {
+    System.out.println(thisJoinPointStaticPart);
+  }
+}
+=======8<=========
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Compile it with:
+<pre><code>
+$ ajc --enable-preview -14 Person.java UsingPersonRecord.java TraceRecordComponents.java
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Now run it:
+<pre><code>
+$ java --enable-preview UsingPersonRecord
+execution(String Person.toString())
+Person[firstName=A, lastName=B, age=99]
+execution(String Person.firstName())
+A
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Available: 1.9.6 available 22-Jul-2020</p>
