First merged release of APE and Common C++ delivered

The first release of a merged APE and Common C++ code base has been completed today. This initial release has been called Common C++ 0.9.0, and represents a rapid commitment to the continuing effort of creating a portable and very broard C++ application framework for threading, sockets, and system services.

Future releases of Common C++ will include the Bayonne scripting engine and support for portable serial I/O services. The Common C++ project has been tested with Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Tru64 Unix, and Win32. While used as the foundation for the iCommunity and Bayonne projects, Common C++ is open to outside developers and those who wish to help us make Common C++ a standard general purpose portable application development framework.
