Abora

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 20050801

Notes:
The UdanaxGold2Java project implements a translator for automatically
converting the Smalltalk source code from the open-source UdanaxGold 
project into Java source code. The generated Java code I'm naming 
AboraGold for the moment to make it clear that none of this madness is 
the fault of the Udanax guys :-) 

The translator and abora-gold supporting library is released under the MIT 
license.

----------------------------------------------------------------
This Release:

This release reaches the significant milestone of generating Java source 
code that can be compiled without error. In addition most of the Tester 
test classes supplied with UdanaxGold can now be run without an 
exception being generated, though the accuracy of the results is still 
suspect until they can be checked against the unreleased trace logs from 
Udanax.

The generated Abora-Gold Java code is still a long way from being 
considered a framework to be used by others. The translator is also 
suffering from a severe case of overgrown-prototype syndrome. But, 
things are definitely going in the right direction now, after being lost for 
months wading through compilation errors in generated Java code!
