| <h2>Notable changes</h2> |
| |
| <h4>JDT Upgrade</h4> |
| <p>The JDT compiler inside AspectJ has been upgraded to the Eclipse Neon.2 level (JDT commit #75dbfad0).</p> |
| |
| <h4>Java8</h4> |
| <p>The Eclipse JDT compiler embedded inside AspectJ now requires Java 8, so that is the minimum required level to compile sources with AspectJ. |
| However, if only doing weaving and no compilation then it is possible to use Java 7. |
| |
| <h4>Annotation style around advice and proceed (<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500035">Bug 500035</a>)</h4> |
| <p>A long standing issue that has been lurking in the handling of arguments passed to proceed for annotation style |
| aspects has been fixed. If, at a joinpoint where 'this'/'target' differ (for example at some call joinpoints), the pointcut |
| bound either 'this' or 'target' (but not both), then the system would still expect the advice to pass both 'this' and 'target' into the proceed |
| call. With the fix here you only need to pass what you bind. So if you bind only 'this' you don't need to pass 'target' (and vice versa). |
| This will affect users that have been working around this quirk by passing both 'this' and 'target'. That isn't necessary anymore. |
| This fix is in aspectjrt.jar so you will need to be using the 1.8.10 version of aspectjrt.jar at runtime to pickup this change. |
