Just the facts:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>July, 1995. Dave develops SWIG while working in the Theoretical
|
|
Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Originally, it
|
|
was conceived as an extension building tool for a customized scripting
|
|
language that had been created for the Connection Machine 5.
|
|
|
|
<li>January, 1996. SWIG rewritten in C++ at the University of Utah and expanded to cover Tcl, Perl, and Guile.
|
|
|
|
<li>February, 1996. First alpha release.
|
|
|
|
<li>September, 1996. Version 1.0 released. Support for Python added.
|
|
|
|
<li>September, 1997. Version 1.1 released with a variety of improvements such as shadow classes.
|
|
|
|
<li>February, 1998. SWIG1.1p5 released.
|
|
|
|
<li>1997-1999. Various unsuccessful attempts to create SWIG2.0.
|
|
Aside from various second system effects, there were other
|
|
distractions such as a dissertation and searching for a job. All
|
|
of this work was abandoned although parts of it are found in
|
|
newer SWIG releases.
|
|
|
|
<li>July, 1998. SWIG development moves to the University of Chicago.
|
|
|
|
<li>January 1, 2000. Dave survives his most pleasant Y2K flight to Chicago O'Hare.
|
|
|
|
<li>February 11, 2000. SWIG1.3 alpha released. This is the first in
|
|
a series of releases that slowly migrate most of SWIG's implementation
|
|
back to ANSI C.
