Access manual (3.14)</a>. <p>This page does not provide any native JNI 
libraries used by JNI implemenation of JCA, they can be obtained from <a

page</a> or built from source distribution.</p> <p>In June 2004 CosyLab agreed 
to become the "official" maintainer of JCA.</p> 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added gov.aps.jca.Context.getVersion() method. Now users can retrieve 
  context name and version information (at runtime). 
o Added global context configuration defined in JCALibrary.property. Prefix 
  gov.aps.jca.Context can be used instead of specific prefixes to set global 
  context configuration. Of course, specific configuration overrides default 
  configuration(s).  

Have fun!
