Release 3.1.0

• Allow NIO Buffer as Structure field (with limitations) (Issue 57)
• Add size_t size.

• Run tests with libjsig.so, if available, which fixes some crashes when running tests on 64-bit platforms.

• Fix Issue 95.

Release 3.0.9

• Fix issue 93 by only manually searching jna.library.path, then falling back to passing the mapped library name to dlopen/LoadLibrary. This fixes an issue in JRUBY where the incorrect libc.so.6 was being loaded.

Release 3.0.8

• Auto-map Pointer[]/String[]/WString[] return values.
• Provide utility functions to convert String to primitive array.
• Add jna.library.boot.path property to define the directory that the native stub library is loaded from

Release 3.0.7

• Fix bug reading structures with PointerType fields, introduced with Pointer field preservation fix.

Release 3.0.6

• Allow arbitrary callback method names if only one method is defined in the class which implements Callback (colinwalters).
• Allow specification of callback type mappers by using a TYPE_MAPPER field (colinwalters).
• Allow uninitialized (null-valued) boxed primitives in Structures (colinwalters).

• Allow Structure auto-synch across native calls to be disabled.
• Win64 support.

• Avoid overwriting unchanged Structure fields of type Pointer.
• Avoid more content dragging on OSX or warn if it's too late.
• Fix UnsatisfiedLinkError using transparent window on Win2K.
• Fix memory leak with callbacks called from native threads with no Java context (johnwallace).
• Defer structure size calculation if type mapper not yet set, allowing type mapper to be set in derived constructors (colinwalters).
• Ensure structure memory is allocated in Structure.read/writeField.

Release 3.0.5

• Allow explicit declaration of field order for VMs which have an unpredictable field order.
• Check for w32 libraries with a "lib" prefix in addition to normal lookup.
• Allow String[]/WString[] as callback argument/return value (assume NULL-terminated array).
• Add Solaris8 compatibility to sunos-sparc build (Corey Puffalt).
• Look up libraries using web start library path, if appropriate (Corey Puffalt).
• Use constants to return integer boolean values.

• Properly track cursor on alpha-masked windows.
• Avoid searching /lib or /usr/lib on 64-bit Linux.
• Avoid using incorrect version of a library when both 32- and 64-bit versions are found.
• Avoid transparent window events always dragging window bug on OSX.
• Fix division by zero error calculating structure size on OSX/ppc.
• Avoid overwriting initialized NativeMapped Structure fields when calculating structure size.
• Fix NPE reading back into StringArray.

Release 3.0.4

• Automatically write contents of Structure.ByReference fields on Structure.write().
• Use the actual parameter type in Function invocations if no parameter type information is available (whether method is missing or untyped varargs).
• Augmented X11 library mappings (xylo).
• Support read/write of NativeMapped arrays within Structure (notably NativeLong).

• Fix library load error when /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib both exist (linux) (Marek Slama).
• Avoid incorrect matches against libraries named with the same prefix (e.g. libc-client.so vs libc.so) (xylo).
• Properly handle arrays of NativeMapped (e.g. NativeLong) as a Structure field (stefan endrullis).
• Ensure structure size calculated prior to setting union active type.
• XID is 64-bits on 64-bit X clients (xylo).
• Ensure proper arch name is used on Debian (amd64 instead of x86_64).

Release 3.0.3

• Enable build/run using IBM's J9 VM (leonardo).
• Make StdCallFunctionMapper attempt a leading underscore if the simpler mapping doesn't work.
• Allow Structure.read to overwrite final fields (may not work on some 1.4 VMs).

• Fix NPE when passing an array of Structure.ByReference.
• Compare entire linux library version when finding a match.
• Don't pass struct by value unless the method signature declares it.
• Restrict custom first element structure alignment to OSX/ppc.
• Improve performance and reduce memory footprint for window masks. Optimize polygon-based masks on w32. Use XFillRectangles on X11.
• Fix linkage settings on sunos-amd64 to avoid relocation errors.
• Fix callback allocation code on w32, solaris, freebsd, darwin (libffi was misconfigured).
• Fix bug when NativeMapped fields are used in a Structure.ByValue instance.

• Added amd64 targets for OSX, FreeBSD, and Solaris.

• Reduce space allocated for invocation arguments.
