The Aegis VM Project is an on-going effort to implement a lightweight, secure virtual machine for executing Java bytecode. It will eventually feature a modular architecture, Proof Linking, that supports pluggable verification modules.
This is release 0.0.3 of the aegisvm package. This release implements support for string internalization, exception handling, stack tracing, user-defined class loaders, and class unloading. Numerous bugs are fixed, making this release much more robust than its predecessors. Also, the VM is now ported to Solaris (SPARC) platforms. Release 0.0.3 is the last one in the 0.0.x development cycle.
