• Implemented #433: applied Masaru Ohba's implementation for proportional font support in the source view text area.
• Reorganized the source code layout to be a bit more logical.
• Added JSwat test classes under the 'test' directory.
• Removed the report package in favor of java.util.logging classes.
• Removed AppSettings class in favor of java.util.prefs.Preferences class. Existing ~/.jswat/settings file will be deleted and old settings will be lost. Sorry for the inconvenience.

1.5.10 - April 16, 2002

• Fixed bug #426: remove support for the 'assert' keyword as it requires JDK 1.4 and this version of JSwat does not support that version of the JDK. Instead, use the 2.0 series.

1.5.9 - April 8, 2002
