• Update v2.1.6
  • This release mainly fixes issues of running beanshell in a security restricted environment. This may break existing scriptes which define classes with protected methods, constructors or fields or which access inherited protected methods, constructors or fields. If your (script) code doesn't explicitly switch on the accessibility mode your script code will break with this update. To receive the old behaviour either call bsh.Capabilities.setAccessibility(true) in your java code or setAccessibility(true) in your script code. This change was done to allow the usage of beanshell2 in security restricted environments. See issue #88 for code changes.
  • New version number scheme (drop of b for build).

Nov. 21, 2011

• Update v2.1b5, fixing
  • Do-while loop does not check condition on "continue" - issue #57
  • Fixes when using JSR-223 an exception which is thrown for clause that shouldn't be evaluated - issue #60.

Other notable changes not mentioned above in contrast to the latest version available at beanshell.org are:

• The support for parsing of java files through the class loader has been dropped. It was considered more harmful than helpful.
• The support of Java-5 varargs.
• Support for long string literals:

  xml = """<books>
     <book>
        <title>Beanshell2</title>
     </book>
  </books>""""
  

• Build-in jsr-233 support (Scripting for the Java Platform).
