| <h1>Equinox Aspects 1.0 M4 - New and Noteworthy</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| These days the Equinox Aspects incubator project is mostly working on improving stability |
| and reliability. |

| </td> |
| <td width="70%" valign="top"> |
| We changed the API that is used between the hook and the aspectj weaver and the |
| different caching service implementations to separate concerns. As long as you don't |
| implement your own bytecode manipulation or caching services, this has no effect |
| on your usage of equinox aspects. |

| We added a p2.inf file to allow the automatic installation of equinox aspects |
| via the p2 provisioning system. Using this p2.inf file all the necessary changes |
| to a config.ini are done automatically for you.<br/> |
| Thanks to Andrew Eisenberg from the AJDT team for this contribution! |

| <b>Mechanism reworked that does aop.xml parsing</b> |
| </td> |
| <td width="70%" valign="top"> |
| To solve some threading problems that could cause deadlocks (especially in the |
| combination with Spring Dynamic Modules) we have reworked the mechanism that |
| is parsing the aop.xml files that aspects bundles provide. From now on the aop.xml |
| files are parsed at bundle resolve time.<br/> |
| This has the side effect that we spend more time on startup and bundle resolve |
| time. On the other side we save a lot more time because we no longer parse those |
| files over and over again. As long as you don't have a massive number of bundles |
| that provide aspects the new mechanism improves performance. |
