3.  TEST CASES

---------------

Some test cases have been developed using the JUnit testing

framework.  These are included with the source code, in the following

packages:

org.jfree.junit

org.jfree.date.junit

org.jfree.io.junit

org.jfree.text.junit

org.jfree.ui.junit

org.jfree.util.junit

If you want to recompile these packages, you will need the junit.jar

file that is included in the 'lib' subdirectory.

4.  WHAT'S NEW

---------------

Changes in each version are listed here:

1.0.21: (24-Oct-2013) Modified drawRotatedString() to call drawAlignedString()

                      when the rotation angle is 0.0.  This provides benefits

                      downstream for JFreeChart, JFreeSVG and OrsonPDF.

1.0.20: (01-Sep-2013) Fixed TextFragment.draw() to respect TextAnchor argument.

1.0.19: (30-Aug-2013) Updated Licences.java so that complete licence text is 

                      loaded on demand only (bug #1118).

                      Composite instances;

1.0.16: (17-Apr-2009) New release in conjunction with JFreeChart 1.0.13;

1.0.15: (19-Dec-2008) New ResourceBundleWrapper class to enable applets to

                      bypass codeBase lookup.  Updated Maven specs.

1.0.14: (10-Sep-2008) Workaround added to PngEncoder, bug fix in ShapeList.

1.0.13: (05-Jun-2008) Bug fixes for TextBox and ShapeUtilities.

1.0.12: (02-Nov-2007) Made the resource-loading and classloader selection more

        robust in cases where the jars were distributed over several

        classloaders.

1.0.11: (19-Oct-2007) BugFix in the KeyedComboBoxModel causing

        NullPointerExceptions on MacOS-X; Make sure that all resource-streams

        that get opened also get safely closed in case of errors.

1.0.10: (21-May-2007) BugFix in the PackageSorter, Window positioning is now

        multi-screen aware.

1.0.9 : (23-Mar-2007) Serialization fix in TextFragment.

1.0.8 : (11-Dec-2006) Minor bugfixes in the synchronization of the Booting code

        and the FastStack.

1.0.7 : (03-Dec-2006) Cosmetic fixes for the logging of the PackageManager,

        ObjectTable implementation allows faster cloning of its contents,

        minor improvements to the GUI classes.

1.0.6 : (26-Sep-2006) BugFixes in the TextLayoutUtilities, SpreadSheetDate and

        ResourceBundleSupport classes.

1.0.5 : (29-Jun-2006) BugFixes in the boot code (synchronization added) and

        WaitingImageObserver (possible deadlock fixed). ObjectUtilities

		did not handle all cases where a ClassLoader could be null.

1.0.4 : (30-Apr-2006) Date- and NumberCellRenderer did not handle null-values

        properly.

1.0.3 : (17-Apr-2006) More improvements in the boot process for dependent

        library hierarchies.

1.0.1 : (10-Feb-2006) This release adds new boot capabilities and fixes

        some bugs in the XML classes. This version is required for

        JFreeReport and it is fully backward compatible with the 1.0.x

        branch.

1.0.0 : (14-Nov-2005) This is the official 1.0.0 release.  All future

        releases in the 1.0.x series will maintain backward compatibility

        with the 1.0.0 API.

1.0.0-rc1 : (01-Jun-2005) : Update to coincide with JFreeReport 0.8.5-5.

        JavaDoc update and classloader handling changed.

1.0.0-pre3 : (15-Apr-2005) : Some minor changes in the ResourceBundleSupport

        to allow the explicit definition of a locale.

1.0.0-pre2 : (04-Mar-2005) : Update to coincide with JFreeReport 0.8.5.

        Separated the xml-support packages into an own jar file.

        JFreeChart does not use these classes (except in experimental

        non-release code). Therefore, JFreeChart needs both libs to

        build, but only the jcommon.jar library to run.

        The a more detailed list of changed please have a look at the

        CHANGELOG.txt file.
