Release 1.31-RC5

[Wüthrich Jörg]

GCViewer release 1.31-RC5 includes the following changes:

* -XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy implemented for java 1.4 / 1.5 as well
* small bugfixes in G1 parser / metric calculation
* G1: treat "Mark stack is full" messages as separate event
* improved accuracy of young and tenured generation in chart

Thanks to Carl Meyer for providing me with real site G1 gc logs! The parser for jdk 1.6 G1 gc logs should be quite good now.

1.31-RC5 should be the last release candidate. The only thing missing for 1.31 final is the update for the Sun / Oracle jdk 1.7.0_02 G1 detailed log output. That format was changed from 1.7.0_01 to 1.7.0_02. The current release can't find heap sizing information for most events in the log.
