Abora is a hypertext system supporting fine-grained links, transclusions and user link filtering. It is inspired by Ted Nelsons Xanadu and Udanax-Gold by XOC.

This release is focused on packaging up the modest progress made towards the execution of the Udanax-Gold testing classes on the Java translated code. The author has gained access to some of the Udanax trace logs from successful runs of the Tester classes which has allowed a significant improvement in the correctness of the generated code. In addition some progress has been made on the missing disk API. The current "blocker" is the use of the Smalltalk become operation, which is used in both the persistence mechanism, and the core Ent data structure. The java Proxy class mechanism appears to allow one way around this. 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!
