[Wheat-Announce] A month's worth of development

[Mark L. <ma...@gl...>]

It has been a while since the last Wheat update.  Quite a bit has 
happened:

Jim Kingdon and I have been working on the rendering module:  This lets 
objects control their mapping to the web server URL space and control 
their own rendering via XML templates.  The code is close, and is 
capable of rendering some very simple blog entries!

Other things that got coded in the last month:
- XML Media is now working (Wheat objects stored in XML documents)
- Debugging support (displaying object information in gdb)
- Build under Linux
- Many virtual machine refinements (semantics and implementation of 
inheritance, stacks, message lookup and sending, primitive installation 
and execution)
- An initial object library (very rudimentary)

We are working toward getting a Blog and a Wiki running in Wheat.  I 
hope to have something running by end of February.

The project has moved to using SourceForge's CVS servers as the main 
source repository.  Alas, SourceForge's anonymous CVS servers don't 
seem to be keeping up-to-date with the developer CVS servers.  As soon 
as they fix this, I'll post details on how you can download and build 
Wheat for yourself.
