CLIChart 0.5.6b1 released

The first beta of version 0.5.6 of CLIChart is now available.

CLIChart provides tools for quick visualisation of tabular data on the command line by generating, displaying and saving charts, and for extracting that tabular data from text data (like log files). The emphasis here is on quick - the idea is to provide fast ways for you to visualise the relationships in your data.

CLIChart was originally developed for interactive charting of data from server log files, so its primary audience is probably software developers and system administrators. You can download the new release from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=185843 , or check out the home page at http://clichart.sourceforge.net/ .

The 0.5.6 release provides a new tool called 'merge', which merges keyed data from 2 files, and the aggregate tool now also supports keyed (grouped) aggregation. Cliserver now provides a TCP/IP server mode, as well as the command-line server. As well, a .egg file allows installation with easy_install, which also makes all scripts available in the system path - see CHANGES.txt for more information. And of course there is the normal list of minor enhancements and bug fixes.
