The <a href="http://vmkit.llvm.org/">VMKit project</a> is an implementation of
a JVM and a CLI Virtual Machines (Microsoft .NET is an
implementation of the CLI) using the Just-In-Time compiler of LLVM.</p>
<p>[NICOLAS]</p>
<p>Following LLVM 2.4, VMKit has its first release 0.24 that you can find on
the <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">release page</a>. The release includes
bug fixes, cleanup and new features. The major changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Support for generics in the .Net virtual machine. This was implemented
by Tilmann Scheller during his Google Summer of Code project.</li></p>
<li><p>Initial support for the Mono class libraries.</p></li>
<li><p>Support for MacOSX/x86, following LLVM's support for exceptions in
JIT on MacOSX/x86.
<li><p>A new vmkit driver: a program to run java or .net applications. The
driver supports llvm command line arguments including the new "-fast" option.
</p></li>
<li><p>A new memory allocation scheme in the JVM that makes unloading a
class loader very fast.</p></li>
<li><p>VMKit now follows the LLVM Makefile machinery.</p></li>
</ul>
