greenDAO 3.2(.1) Release

With greenDAO 3.2.x we are improving Android studio compatibility. Actually, greenDAO 3.2.0 was already released a couple of weeks ago, without a notification post. The first 3.2 release aligned an internal dependency (JDT ) to work nicely with Android Studio 2.2. Also, it added Protocol Buffers support to annotations. Today we are releasing 3.2.1 for the greenDAO plugin. Note that the core greenDAO lib and the generator did not have to be updated and thus remain at V3.2.0. This plugin update further improves Android Studio and Jack compiler integration and fixes some bugs. Check the changelog for details.

performant java hashfunctions

Performant Java hash functions – today’s Java hash problems and our solution

Today, core Java APIs lack high quality hash functions, and 3rd party implementations provide sub-optimal performance. As non-cryptographic hash function are important building blocks of software, this is a major bummer for developers.

Generally, the selection of available hash functions is plenty, and in the last decade, many new hash functions emerged with very good hashing properties. Surprisingly, the core Java API just still offers Adler32 and CRC32, which were designed as checksums many years ago. Of course, there are many hash implementations available outside of the core Java API. However, Continue reading→
