BRL 2.2 released 2003-06-09

* BRL now works with stock Kawa 1.7. See the Kawa NEWS file

Changes I checked in today make BRL work with Kawa 1.7beta2. The new

The next release of BRL will work with the latest Kawa release. Most checks pass with what I've checked into CVS. The rest will work with a patch Per Bothner will soon put into Kawa.

Due to db replication problems at SourceForge, files for release 2.1.26 are not available except through CVS. Hopefully they will fix it today.

In my own BRL Cabaret account I've created a simple database demo as well as a demo that generates mazes. Take a look:... read more

I've finally gotten ssh and emacs to play nicely together, and will be using vc-comment-to-change-log more frequently. Expect ChangeLog entries with release 2.1.14, as well as better log entries in the CVS repository.
