| <h1>AspectJ 1.8.4 Readme</h1> |
| |
| <p>The full list of resolved issues in 1.8.4 is available |
| <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;bug_status=RESOLVED;bug_status=VERIFIED;bug_status=CLOSED;product=AspectJ;target_milestone=1.8.4;">here</a></h2>.</p> |

| <ul> |
| <li>1.8.4 available 6-Nov-2014 |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Notable changes</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Support for is(FinalType)</h3> |
| |
| <p>AspectJ has had type category type patterns since version 1.6.9, see the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-169.html">README</a>. This enabled |
| pointcuts to include is(..) clauses to specify which kinds of type they were or were not interested in matching, e.g. <tt>!within(* && is(InnerType))</tt> means not within innertypes. |
| In 1.8.4 it is now possible to recognize (for inclusion or exclusion) final types with <tt>is(FinalType)</tt>. |
| |
| <h3>thisAspectInstance correctly handled with -1.8</h3> |
| |
| <p>This is the key fix in this release. Some products based on AspectJ were using the thisAspectInstance feature |
| (see <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-1612.html">README 1.6.12</a> for more info on the feature). Unfortunately if specifying -1.8 compliance |
| and using the feature an error would be reported at compile time of the aspect. This is now fixed.</p> |
