[ZooLib-dev] Yes, it's really in CVS

[Michael D. C. <cra...@go...>]

Someone just pointed out that the website had conflicting information about
whether or not ZooLib was available in SourceForge CVS.

It wasn't for a long time, but has been now for at least a couple months.  The
instructions for accessing it are here:

http://zoolib.sourceforge.net/doc/cvs.html

However, I previously neglected to update the other parts of the website where I
said CVS wasn't available.  I've fixed that now.  Sorry for taking so long.  I
think I fixed each of the places it was needed, but if you find another let me
know the URL.

You can get the very latest source code via anonymous CVS.  The ZooLib
developers are now submitting their updates to sourceforge's archive, rather
than the private server where ZooLib was stored before its open source release.

It's been a long time since ZooLib was last released.  A tremendous amount of
really good work has been done on ZooLib since the 0.8.1 version was posted. 
I'd like to recommend that you use the version of the source that is in CVS,
it's in pretty good shape.  There are some build problems with the demos, but
I'm going to try to fix those soon.

Note that there are some source code incompatibilities between the current code
and the 0.8.1 release.  Among these are a brand new resource file format called
ZAsset.  You will need to rewrite your resource file sources into the ZAsset
syntax and use the new ZAsset Compiler to build them.  The compiler is available
as a CodeWarrior plug-in and I think also as a command-line program.

I'm not real sure when we'll roll a new release, but it won't be too long. 
Neither Andy and I are able to prepare for it right at the moment, but hopefully
after we each get home from our travels we'll be able to post a release.
