Schematics / News: Recent posts

WordUp!, the scheme based weblog engine, has released version 0.1 in the Files section.

Version 0.2 of SchemeDoc has been released! Though still a way from 1.0 quality this release will actually generated HTML documentation from appropriately annotated code - quite an improvement.

SchemeUnit 1.3 Release

SchemeUnit is a unit testing framework for the PLT
dialect of Scheme, based on the XP tradition.
This new release of SchemeUnit brings it into line
with the functionality documented in the Scheme
Workshop paper "SchemeUnit and SchemeQL: Two
Little Languages". Major new features include:

- improved assertions capture source location and
allow optional messages

- define-assertion macro allows user defined
assertions. If you create some useful assertions
please email them to us. We'd like to collect
libraries of user defined assertions.... read more

The SRFI package has been updated to version 1.2. This new version fixes installation problems and adds an implemenation of SRFI-26.

Two new documents, a PLT Scheme cookbook and a guide for new developers using Schematics, have been released on the Schematics website. They can be reached via

http://schematics.sourceforge.net/

It is hoped that others will contribute to the documents and help them grow.

We've redone the web pages,released a new version of SchemeUnit, and made the first release of our SRFI ports (1, 9, 13 & 14 - get 'em while they're hot!) Note that schemeunit-doc has been merged into the schemeunit release.

Ian Glover has joined the project. He'll most likely be putting his skills to work hacking on schemathics.

SchemeQL has a release available for download. The web site also a great new logo thanks to Francisco!

schemeunit, the unit testing framework in Scheme, has hit version 1.0! This version only works in the currently-in-development v200 of PLT Scheme. The code is available as a .plt and documentation is also available as an installable package. The interface has changed slightly from the previous versions - read the documentation to see where it has changed.

There is a new release of MoshiMoshi available. This release implements all the core Wiki functionality. Further features will be implemented as the need arises so please let me know what features you'd like!

http://schematics.sourceforge.net/ has been revamped and actually has some content now! I entered the ICFP contest with 3 other Schemers and our writeup is online. The code is in CVS if you're interested.

The MoshiMoshi wiki can now display HTML content in the PLT web server. Download from CVS to give it a whirl!

New to CVS are scmunit, the Scheme testing framework, and Schemathics, numerical algorithms in Scheme.

I've started work on a new package called MoshiMoshi, which I believe will be the first Wiki implemented in Scheme. (See http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WelcomeVisitors for the straight dope on Wikis.) MoshiMoshi will first run under the PLT webserver, and may later run under CGI so I can run it here at Sourceforge. When complete MoshiMoshi will be reused as the formatting back-end for Schemedoc.

scmunit is the new name for the unit testing framework. The current release is v0.9. It works, incorporates a text UI, and has an example in example.ss. V1.0 release will occur when documentation and tests of the framework are written.
