[Mat M. <mm...@ad...>]

Version 1.0.37 of the Adobe Source Libraries has been released. 

Highlights of this release include:

    ASL:
        - New papers and presnetations at 
          http://stlab.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Papers_and_Presentations
        - Major improvements to documentation structure
        - Fix 64-bit poly_test issue
        - Fixes for identity<> and pointer_to<> and their use.
        - Eliminated concept macros
        - Minor fix for static_table.hpp to include stdexcept
        - Fix for lexer to allow keywords as names, i.e. @empty.
        - Fix for MSVC compiler warning in memory.hpp (from Jon
           Clauson) 
        - Predicates for conditional relate declarations are now
          calculated up-front and cannot be dependent themselves on a
          relate declaration. 
        - Raising limit on number of interface cells to 256.
        - Added parameter to final to avoid misuse.
        - Added -L to curl commands in net setup scripts to protect
          against redirects
        - Made selection_t equality_comparable    
        - Added bool has_input(name) and bool has_output(name) to the
          property model library. 
        - removed outdated expression_filter routines; updated
          adam_tutorial output format; deleting some unnecessary
          sources 
        - Cleaned out static intializers
        - Collapsed entity lookup to a single place -- removed the
          once stuff from xml_parser
        - Fixed issue with implicit casts of enum node state in
          closed_hash.hpp
        - Fixed bug in property model library where an active monitor
          wasn't called on connect. 
        - Added code to layout library to reset metrics prior to
          calling client measure function to avoid errors where client
          code assumes defaulted value. 
        - Fixed bug with active monitor not being called on connection
          in Adam. 

    User supported libs (APL): 
        - Improvements to the expression, property model, and layout
          formatters. they print are much more readably now,
          especially with arrays and dictionaries with many items. 
        - Added shift as a modifier key to the new modifier key
          functionality 
        - Move controller and view concepts (compile and runtime) to
          APL 
        - BBedit language modules
        - xml_to_forest test app
        - Added xml_element_forest, a utility header that round-trips
          an XML file to a forest of dictionaries; also gives the user
          the ability to hand-generate a forest of dictionaries with a
          specific format and stream out a resulting XML file. 
        - Moved functions_as_controller to widget_proxies.hpp in APL
        - Renamed to_utf* to value_to_utf* in the singleton code point
        - Removed subview factory
        - Gave behaviors the ability to have their verbs pointed to
          another callback once they've been established. This gives
          clients the ability to do more than just resize the eve layout
          at the appropriate time (e.g., to resize a parent container
          not managed by eve.) 
        - sequence_model and associated view and controller concepts
          and implementations. Multiple changes and to improve the
          overall mvc architecture of the system. Also added a
          multiplexer/demultiplexer system to allow for the routing of
          commands between the sequence_model and any attached
          sequence views and controllers.
        - dictionary_set migration from obscure widgets lib location
          to APL 
        - Added breakpoint-compatible formatting to some of the
          casting type checks 
        - Logic fix for one of the selection algorithms
        - Fixed error reporting code in Begin.
        - Added formatter_tokens to eliminate duplicate symbols when
          both formatters are included in a single project 
        - Cleaned up a lot of the serialization code, pulled out
          dynamic memory allocations, etc 
        - Added expression_filter, for the escaping and unescaping of
          xml entities in a string; useful for serialization work 
        - Fixed some of the image_t leaks under win32. Problems run
          deeper though, since the architecture fails to store
          platform resources for cleanup when bitmaps updated or when
          window closes. Deeper fixes will be required to plug the
          rest of the leaks
        - Added the ability to add 'raw' functions to the function
          pack, bypassing all the function pack magic in case you'd like
          to do the work yourself. 
        - Update example code. inlined some function_pack routines,
          and added an nbitpath helper routine to the bitpath structure
