Announcing JC release 1.2.1

[Archie Cobbs <archie@dellroad.org>]

Announcing release 1.2.1 of the JC virtual machine.

This release adds automatic inlining of short non-virtual method
invocations (for example, String.length()) to the code generator,
resulting in a dramatic improvement in the performance of generated
code. It also fixes several important bugs, and updates JC for
Classpath version 0.10.

This is the first version to include non-trivial Soot optimizations,
in this case method inlining. Future Soot optimizations will include
array bounds check elimination, null pointer check elimination, and
redundant cast elimination.
