PLT Scheme v299.200 (Eli Barzilay)
Erwin Data Structures 2.0.278 Release (Henrik Theiling)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Eli Barzilay <eli@barzilay.org>
Subject: PLT Scheme v299.200
Date: 9 Aug 2005 06:40:02 GMT
PLT Scheme v299.200 is now available from
http://download.plt-scheme.org/
THIS IS A v300 ALPHA RELEASE. Teachers and students using DrScheme
with "How to Design Programs" should wait for the final v300 release,
which will occur close to a new semester.
* DrScheme's new "Debug" button provides limited debugging support.
The programmer can pause a program in the definitions window,
inspect local variables, set pause points, step past expressions,
and change evaluation results.
DrScheme's debugging support builds on MzTake, the scripted
debugger, which is now included in the distribution.
* MzScheme supports reader extensions through #reader, and it provides
readtables to customize the built-in reader. Structure printing can
be customized through a `prop:writable' property.
* HtDCH USERS: the draw.ss teachpack has an entirely new interface.
Canvas is now the class for drawing pictures, World is for animated
worlds. See doc.txt and the revised version of HtDCH.
* New "Java+dynamic" ProfessorJ language improves interoperability
between Scheme and Java; details to appear at OOPSLA'05.
* FrTime has been refined significantly, with several important bug
fixes and performance enhancements.
The v300 series (including v299.200) is incompatible with the v200
series. The most significant incompatibilities include (1) support
for Unicode breaks old programs that treat characters as bytes or
pathnames as strings; (2) case-sensitivity is now the default; and (3)
the built-in exception hierarchy has been revised.

Subject: Erwin Data Structures 2.0.278 Release
Hi!
I'd like to announce the release of:
Erwin Data Structure Library
Version 2.0.278
(c) Henrik Theiling
Freely Distributable Open Source Code
Main Site: http://www.theiling.de/projects/erwin.html
Download: http://www.theiling.de/downloads/idx.cgi/erwin
Subscribe: http://freshmeat.net/projects/erwin2/
Changes
=======
On some machines, vectors of chars would not compile due to
a stupid bug that this release fixes.
Description
===========
The Erwin library is a very efficient and robust data structure
template library for C and C++.
No templates are used; a Perl script generates C files. Vectors
(dynamic arrays), lists, and hash tables (maps) of arbitrary key and
value types are provided.
Several tools are included:
- for auto-generating a C interface around C++ libraries,
- C++ extensions like slots/properties,
- symbol (=hashed string) management,
- sophisticated assertion macros, and
- documentation extraction.
The generated libraries are tested under Linux, Solaris, NetBSD,
MacOS X and MS Windows.
Enjoy!
**Henrik
