Bug Fixes

  • Avoid attempts to free native library if it failed to load (wmeissner)
  • Explicitly check method signatures for varargs instead of heuristically guessing (wmeissner)
  • Disallow declaring Pointer-derived fields in Structures (Function, Memory)
  • Ensure Object.toString/hashCode/equals methods are intercepted on proxyied interfaces
  • Update X11 library for 64-bit use (wmeissner)
  • Properly map arrays of char*/wchar_t* under w32
  • Allow Pointer[] as a Structure field and Function argument
  • Fix some misleading Structure error messages
  • Properly preserve/return GetLastError/errno after native calls
  • Allocate executable memory on w32 to avoid errors with hardware-enforced data execution protection (DEP)
  • Fix VM crash on w32 stdcall callbacks
  • Use long offsets and sizes rather than ints (64-bit safe)
  • Properly clean up references and release closure memory on JNI_Unload
  • Use simpler AWT/JAWT library loading workaround
  • Avoid changing array references within a Structure on read

Release 2.5

Features

  • Unions
  • Optimized shaped windows (chris deckers & olivier chafik); instantiation time improved by about 2-3 orders of magnitude for large, mostly contiguous shapes
  • Provide type mapping in callback arguments/results
  • Provide access to ByteBuffer direct address as a Pointer
  • Provide customization of native string encoding with jna.encoding system property

Bug Fixes

  • Properly handle VMs with reversed Structure member storage
  • Avoid making window undecorated when clearing window mask on X11
  • Fix structure alignment bug on OSX/PPC when first element is > 4 bytes in size
  • Clearing OSX window mask by setting to MASK_NONE now works properly
  • Avoid index exceptions if native buffers are not NUL-terminated on string conversions
  • Write initialized Structure[] argument memory prior to function calls
  • Fix IllegalArgumentException reading WString into a Structure
  • Clear memory when allocating a structure block (fixes VM crash)
  • Remove versioned JAWT dependency on OSX, allowing use on 10.3/JRE1.4.

Release 2.4

Features

  • Explicitly support unaligned structures
  • Auto-reallocate structure arrays
  • Automatic handling of w32 UNICODE/ASCII variants
  • Automatic mapping of decorated w32 stdcall function names
  • Customizable, automatic type conversion of arguments and results (wmeissner)
  • Support char*[] arguments as Java String[]
  • Structure supports Callback members (wmeissner)
  • getByteBuffer from Pointer/Memory (wmeissner)
  • Allow GC of native libraries
  • Facilitate use from non-Java contexts (JRuby et al.) (wmeissner)
  • Improve library path searching (wmeissner)
  • Handle Structure[] arguments
  • Handle native long arguments and return values
  • Handle direct and array-based ByteBuffer arguments (wmeissner)
  • Change default w32 build to use GCC (it's free, yo)

Bug Fixes

  • Structure.toArray failed to initialize members
  • Disallow explicit free of Structure/Memory
  • Ensure native libraries are only loaded once until released
  • Properly handle NULL when the return value is a Structure
  • Proper conversion to wchar_t on linux
  • Copy full length of Java strings to C strings instead of stopping when a NUL character is encountered
