[xstep-devel] XSTEP 3.5.1 released!

[Marcelo S. <mar...@bs...>]

hello!

a new release of XSTEP 3.x is available in:

	http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xstep/xstep-3.5.1.tar.gz

the main modifications are new example applications in contrib
and changes in the library Makefile, to be more portable and to enable
multiple XSTEP library versions in the same machine.

if you have XSTEP 3.x applications, you can just recompile all these
applications with XSTEP 3.5.1 library and, if you install in future a 
new and incompatible version, like XSTEP 4.0, all old XSTEP 3.x will 
work! the secret for this is the option -soname in the ld stage, 
all XSTEP 3.x applications linked with libxstep.so.3.5.1 will load
the libxstep.so.3 if multiple versions are available. XSTEP 4.x 
applications will load libxstep.so.4. 

the XSTEP 4.x development continue: a new pre-release version will
be available in next days, with the new library link modifications
and other corrections!
