JNIWrapper 2.3 for Windows
==========================

http://www.jniwrapper.com

We had a tough start of the year... Our customers, after refreshing
holidays, submitted a good bunch of support requests to us. Some of
them were interesting features requests and others were our drawbacks.

We made several delays of this version release willing to include as
many changes as possible. Check the What's New below to see the list
of major changes.

We mostly concentrated on COM support in this release and added
enhancements to the run-time and code generation process that should
make the integration easier. Thus, this release is mostly maintanance
release plus several useful features.

It appears that our documentation goes one step behind the
development. We have started a massive update of our guides, samples,
faqs and so on. And we are planning to concentrate on it later on.

Because of numerous support requests about integration with Microsoft
Office applications, we have added corresponding samples into the
distribution.
From now on JNIWrapper 1.x for Windows is no longer available for
purchase.
