About
=====
Vstr is a string library designed for network communication, but
applicable in a number of other areas. It works on the idea of
separate nodes of information, and the length/ptr model and not the
termination model of "C strings". It does dynamic resizing of strings
as you add/delete data.
It can also do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory, and
includes a portable version of a printf-like function (which is ISO
9899:1999 compliant, and includes support for i18n parameter position
modifiers).
Other convenience functions are also included, so you can: easily
split data from a string into sections (similar to perl's split
function); and get string data from a socket or put data to a
socket.
Main Changes
------------
. More testsuite additions, it now covers over 89% of the code.
. Bug fixes for corner cases, found by the testsuite additions.

Subject: Announcing beta release, 1.6.6g, of the Market Analysis System
Date: 1 Jun 2003 16:40:01 GMT
Version 1.6.6g of the Market Analysis System (MAS) for Windows and Linux
systems is now available. This is a beta release and is mainly intended
to allow existing MAS users to make use of new features that have been
added since the 1.6.5 release. New features include some powerful new
components - "functions" and "operators" - for indicator creation, and
two new indicators that were created with these new components: Bollinger
Bands and Parabolic SAR. (See the change log, below the release notes at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=161042
for a more detailed description of new features.)
The files that make up the 1.6.6g release are available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6838&release_id=161042
MAS is a software application for stock and futures charting and
technical analysis. MAS is released as free software. You can read
more about MAS and download it at:
http://eiffel-mas.sourceforge.net/
If you have not used MAS before, you will want to download the 1.6.5
release, which is the latest complete release. Then, if you wish to
upgrade, you can install the 1.6.6g beta release over your 1.6.5 release.
Please read the release notes at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=161042
for instructions on how to install the 1.6.6g beta release. If you are not
comfortable with a command line, I recommend waiting for the 1.7 release
(release date not set, but hopefully soon).
Screenshots for the MAS GUI can be found at:
http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/eiffel-mas/mas_screenshots.html
The MAS 1.6.5 executables are available in the following formats:
setup.exe (easy-install) format for Windows:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eiffel-mas/setup-mas1.6.5a.exe
RPM format for Linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eiffel-mas/mas-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
tar.gz format for Linux:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eiffel-mas/mas_linux1.6.5.tar.gz
Linux users should read the release notes before installing MAS 1.6.5:
