All - We are, as usual, pleased and relieved to announce the availability of Galaxy Communicator 3.1. Version 3.1 is mostly a bug fix distribution, but there is also some new functionality provided. o New Builtin server functions, to list the available servers and to call subprograms so that they return values o Cross-compilation support, for platforms such as the StrongARM o A vastly improved abstraction for the event-driven programming model used to embed Communicator servers in external main loops o Hub scripting improvements,including a new directive (IGNORE:), a new comparison (IN), and better write-locking for the global namespace. Please direct all bugs, as usual, to bug...@li...; please do not send mail directly to members of the Communicator team. The GalaxyCommunicator 3.1 distribution comes with extensive documentation (see docs/index.html), a detailed list of new features (see docs/new_features.html), and an upgrade guide for 3.0 installations to 3.1 (see docs/3point1upgrade.html). Upgrade assistance and guidance is also available at bug...@li.... The GalaxyCommunicator 3.1 release is an open source distribution. It is available at http://communicator.sourceforge.net/download. Samuel Bayer For the Communicator team P.S. MIT Galaxy users: Versions of the MIT Galaxy system released before June 26, 2001 will not compile against Galaxy Communicator 3.0 or 3.1 without minor modifications. MITRE has a set of working patches, which you may contact me directly in order to obtain. The same set of patches works for both distributions. |
