e4Graph 1.0a9 released!

I am pleased to announce the 1.0a9 release of e4Graph, the ninth Alpha
release.

WHAT IS IT:

e4Graph is a C++ library that allows programs to store graph-like data
persistently and to access and manipulate that data efficiently. With
e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that
reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to
force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you
to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on
how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and
remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly.
e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different
connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively
manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not
having to know about other connections represented in the data set. The
e4Graph package also provides bindings in several other languages,
currently Tcl, Python and Java, and allows input/output of object graphs
via an XML representation.

The e4Graph package is built on top of Metakit 2.4.9.2, and optionally
uses Tcl 8.4.4, Python 2.2.3, Java 1.1 or later, and Expat 1.95.5.

Changelog: http://www.e4graph.com/e4graph/changes.txt
Installation: http://www.e4graph.com/e4graph/e4install.html

WHAT IS NEW:

This release is mainly a bug-fix release. A bug in vertex caching that
caused incorrect rank information to be returned was fixed. A bug in the
parsing and generation of BASE64 encoded strings was also fixed. An
installer bug that prevented installation of the Tcl package index file
for the tgraph library was fixed.

New APIs were added to retrieve the version number for the e4Graph library
running now. Each storage now also contains the version number for the
e4Graph library used to write it, and new APIs were added to retrieve
that information.
