It is my pleasure to announce version 2.0 of ProGuard.

ProGuard is a free Java class file shrinker and obfuscator. It can
detect and remove unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes.
It can then rename the remaining classes, fields, and methods using
short meaningless names. The resulting jars are smaller and harder
to reverse-engineer.

Version 2.0 adds a number of important new features.

The most visible new feature is the optional graphical user interface
to ProGuard. With this GUI, users can create, load, modify, and save
ProGuard configurations. They can then process their code right away,
or run ProGuard from the command line using saved configurations.
Of course, the existing command-line tool, the Ant task, and the
J2ME WTK interface remain available.

This version also adds options to perform incremental obfuscation
and to filter input and output jars.

Internally, the automatic detection of .class constructs has been
improved. Misplaced manifest files and foreign character sets are
now handled more robustly, and various small bugs have been fixed.

ProGuard is released under the GPL. It comes with complete documentation
that includes a manual, examples, and trouble-shooting tips.

Enjoy!
