This is the first public release.
See http://www.dune.home.pl/ for more information about it.

Starting the new branch 0.1.1 of ALDE libraries. The class/type identification mechanisms were completely rewritten, so actually only base classes (Object, Class, Type and TypeProperty) are present - the rest of them (previously in 0.1.0) are not yet available. Additionally the "safe versions" of the classes were introduced -this kind of classes have a full support for exceptions handling and they may be used in a place of "normal" classes for testing and debugging.

First snapshot of ALDE libraries (alde-core) is available on http://ftp.dune.home.pl/pub/alde/snapshots/
Additionaly you may browse the online HTML reference documentation on http://ftp.dune.home.pl/pub/alde/docs/index.html
