JMH 0.9.7

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Hi,

JMH 0.9.7 is released and available in Maven Central (thanks to
Evgeny, as usual). We have been having a very active discussion and many
sensible small tweaks for 0.9.6, and therefore JMH 0.9.7 is our 3nd
release candidate for 1.0, please test!

Highlights of JMH 0.9.7:

 * JMH may have experienced the deadlock on forked VM shutdown when
there were extensive users of stdout/stderr in the forked VM.

 * "-prof perfasm" does not look for "java" in the perf datafile now,
which enables it to run on the systems where the final executable was
renamed from "java" to something else.

 * JMH will now print the user-friendly error messages when forked VM is
unable to start.

 * The benchmark name prefix shortener in the final result table was
having a bug could generate wrong prefixes, fixed now.

 * Supplying either -rf/resultFormat() or -rff/result() will dump the
machine-readable result into the file. Before, users were required to
supply -rf in any case

 * Profilers are now pluggable through SPI (thanks Aggelos!)

 * Documentation improvements in Javadocs and Samples.

Enjoy!

Thanks,
