Released an initial lub library release based on the clish-0.7.3 code base. This release is a starting point for splitting CLISH out into distinct libraries.
It also provides a test bed for building using boost-build.

NB clish-0.7.3 is still the latest CLISH release.

Minor bug fix for CTRL-C caused SEGV

Finally got around to releasing 0.7.2. Contains almost a years worth of bug fixes and updates.

Of particular note the inability to paste into the shell should now be addressed, and the default values for "SELECT" and "PATTERN" types are now translated correctly.

Also the lub_heap memory manager is no longer compiled in by defaul which should mean CLISH compiles out of the box for more platforms.... read more

a) integer ranges (will be enforced upon entry)
b) selection list; user chooses from a number of values
c) regular expressions

CLISH by default this was used during development of this
release to track leaks and corruptions under VxWorks.... read more

[clish-htm]: This is a tarball of the documentation for this release.

[clish-toolkit] This is a quick demo of the system which has been compiled for use under CYGWIN. You will need to have the TCL8.4 package installed to use this demo.... read more
