No, 0.97.2 is just 0.97 plus a number of bug fixes. New features like
the CPStringBuilder material, gjdoc and the native BigInteger
implementation will be in 0.98 when released.
When CPStringBuilder is merged, I'd suggest looking at whether this
can be merged with the GCJ implementation it is based on in terms of
the native support and using one unified implementation across GCJ.
Thanks for doing this,
