ANN: Janos Java Libraries v1.1.0

		      Janos Java Libraries v1.1.0
		      ---------------------------

We are pleased to announce version 1.1.0 of the Janos Java Libraries.
This package includes two distinct Janos components:

	* The Janos Java NodeOS: The Java NodeOS supports all of the
	  major NodeOS abstractions including Threads, Channels,
	  Flows, ThreadGroups, Demultiplex Keys, and Buffers.  There
	  are two back-ends for the Java NodeOS in this distribution:
	  the (default) "pure Java" implementation and one which
	  calls on the Moab NodeOS. The Moab-based version is not as
	  complete as the pure Java version.  Both provide exactly the
	  same interface to Java-based EEs.

	* ANTSR, our extended version of the ANTS runtime that takes
	  advantage of the NodeOS API and that facilitates precise
	  resource control.  Although the exported API is essentially
	  compatible with traditional ANTS, ANTSR supports fully separate
	  flows.

This release includes the following enhancements over the last release
(v1.0.2, from May 8, 2000):
	Support for "stdin" and TCP streams (both in the NodeOS 
		and within ANTSR).
	Separated out the "pure java" and Moab back-ends of the
		Java NodeOS implementation.
	Fixes the ANTSR dynamic routing protocol/app.  
	Fixes long-standing panic() when run with JDK1.2.x
	Fixes minor bugs in NodeCache and code loading.
	Streamlined buffer management.
	Adds new ANTSR applications "Stats" and "Statsfusion".  
	New hooks for cross-language profiling (on Kaffe).  See
		doc/README.profiling for more info.
	Even some minor performance optimizations.
