ASM6 beta !

Hi all,
we, the ASM Team, are proud to announce the release of ASM6 Beta,
which include the support of the Java 9 classfile format.

Over the last month, we have (mostly Eric in fact) moved ASM out of SVN to Git,
the code source is now available at
  https://gitlab.ow2.org/asm/

The issues and the docs, etc have not yet migrated to OW2's Gitlab but will be soon.

The binaries of the ASM6 beta releases are available on the Gforge:
  http://forge.ow2.org/projects/asm/

Maven Central repository will be updated soon, we're still have a small issue with the internal ow2 nexus due to the migration to Gitlab.

The ASM6_FUTURE branch has been merged to the master (ex trunk) so bug fixes, etc, will be done in priority on ASM6.

ASM 6 release notes:
  - add a new kind of visitor, ModuleVisitor that visit a module descriptor (module-info)
  - add a new API constant: Opcodes.ASM6
  - support JDK specific attributes (ModuleTarget, ModuleHashes and ModuleResolution) in asm.commons
  - support PACKAGE and MODULE new constant pool entries (can be used by custom attributes)
  - update asm.tree by adding ModuleNode, ModuleRequireNode, ModuleExportNode, ModuleOpenNode and ModuleProvideNode
  - update ASMifier and the Trace visitors
  - the remapper support to remap module name (and update ModuleHashes if present accordingly)
  - ASM jars are now modules too, most of the jars are still compatible with Java 1.3, asm-xml is compatible with Java 1.4 and asm-all-debug is compatible with Java 1.5
  - does not work with javac 9 (yet !)  

regards,
Rémi
