Graph-RAT 0.4.5.1 is now under the Apache License 2.0

Graph-RAT 0.4.5 is out. It now includes an in-line help system with a user guide for using Graph-RAT.

Now, on a new machine and a lot of sysadmin time later, I now have a stable development environment. Graph-RAT 0.4.4.2 has both a source and a binary release. Most libraries have been removed from this version but it keeps mp3 support. The source release keeps most of the sample experiments.

Graph-RAT 0.5.13.1 is released. It consists of integrating jAudio 1.0.2 in and removing most of the libraries, many now non-AGPL compliant as the source archives frequently no longer had a version compatible with Graph-RAT.

I have confirmed a compromised computer has miscompiled Graph-RAT at least in the 0.5 branch. Please skip all binaries until further notice, as their contents may not reflect the source used to create them. Further, release dates posted on this site's file releases are not matching the dates of submission, sometimes by months. The correctness of the source can not be guaranteed until these discrepencies can be explained and all interim hacker sabatoge (such as missing modules and scripted code vandalism like end of line replacements) are removed by extensive debugging and/or code audit.

The LastFM 2.0 parsing module is now alpha. It contains parsers for the majority of the non-authentication-required XML feeds provided by LastFM. Users must provide their own API-key.

Graph-RAT 0.5 is now alpha. It sports a rewrite of Graph-RAT to a new set of interfaces based primarily on lists. All iterators and collections are now ordered. There exists a new query subsystem based on it that can return either collections or perform constant space iteration over the query. Dynamic loading of classes is another new addition. Numerous algorithms have big O space improvements, especially when backed by a database.... read more

Currently, Graph-RAT 0.5 is under development, with the previous 0.4 taking a back seat. The new version is a complete rewrite of the original interfaces, using collections and queries instead of array objects. The creation process for embedded use has also been streamlined. The system should be nearing alpha in another couple of weeks pending a rewrite of the remaining algorithms. A number of algorithms will be removed as they are obsoleted by other algorithms in the system.
