Glaziers,

Finally, at long last, Glazed Lists 1.8 has been officially released after 2.5 years. We understand it was a long time coming and we hope you think it was worth the wait.

Hi,

Thanks for the release!!

I noticed a 38% jar size increase in this release.
From 609,096 bytes to 838,837 bytes.

Any idea where does this come from?
I use GL in an applet, and size does matter.

Do you consider splitting up GL in several jars in future releases?
I see a logical separation: core, swing, swt, jfreechart,
nachocalendar, migrationkit, hibernate.
I know the development team may not be maven-friendly, but it would
help a lot in this process.

Thanks,
Danilo

If .jar size is significant, you should use ProGuard, JarJar, or even Ant:

Slicing and dicing Glazed Lists into independent jars is a labour-intensive job that makes it more work to take advantage of our extensions. I'd rather you just use an automated tool to shrink the .jar to suit your project perfectly.
