> November 4, 2010 ASL - 1.0.43 Release
> I've recently returned to Adobe as architect for mobile imaging applications. The Software Technology Lab remains a "virtual group." We have a collection of improvements, fixes, updates, and additions that we've gathered over the last year and a half since the last release. My hope is to simplify the process and the libraries to something more managable and to get back to more frequent releases. Suggestions welcome.

For example: --- logic: relate { x, y <== [a, b]; a, b <== [x, y]; } --- The rhs value must be an array with the same arity as the number of cells named on the left. A cell can appear more than once on the left so long as the term can be uniquely selected.
