*** ANNOUNCE: SWIG 1.3.16 ***

October 14, 2002
|
|
|
|
We're pleased to announce SWIG 1.3.16, the latest installment in the
|
|
SWIG development effort. SWIG-1.3.16 is mostly a bug-fix release to
|
|
SWIG-1.3.15.
|
|
|
|
What is SWIG?
|
|
-------------
|
|
SWIG is a software development tool that reads C/C++ header files and
|
|
generates the wrapper code needed to make C and C++ code accessible
|
|
from other languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java,
|
|
Guile, Mzscheme, and Ocaml. Major applications of SWIG include
|
|
generation of scripting language extension modules, rapid prototyping,
|
|
testing, and user interface development for large C/C++ systems.
|
|
|
|
Availability:
|
|
-------------
|
|
The release is available for download on Sourceforge at
|
|
|
|
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swig-1.3.16.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Within the next day, a Windows version will also be made available at
|
|
|
|
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-1.3.16.zip
|
|
|
|
Release numbers
|
|
---------------
|
|
With SWIG1.3, we are adopting an odd/even version numbering scheme for
|
|
SWIG. Odd version numbers (1.3, 1.5, 1.7, etc...) are considered to
|
|
be development releases. Even numbers (1.4,1.6,1.8) are stable
|
|
releases. The current 1.3 effort is working to produce a stable 2.0
|
|
release. A stable 2.0 release will not be made until it can
|
|
accompanied by fully updated documentation. In the meantime, we will
|
|
continue to make periodic 1.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
We need your help!
|
|
------------------
|
|
Even if you are perfectly happy with SWIG1.1, we can still use your
|
|
feedback. First, we like to know about compilation problems and other
|
|
issues concerning the building of SWIG. Second, if SWIG1.3 is unable
|
|
to compile your old interface files, we would like to get information
|
|
about the features you are using. This information will help us find
|
|
bugs in the SWIG1.3 release, develop techniques for supporting
|
|
backwards compatibility, and write documentation that addresses
|
|
specific issues related to migrating from SWIG1.1 to SWIG1.3.
|
|
|
|
We are also looking for volunteers who would like to work on various
|
|
aspects of SWIG development. SWIG is an unfunded project that would
|
|
not exist without volunteers. We are also looking for the developers
|
|
of other SWIG language modules. If you have developed a SWIG module
|
|
and would like to see it incorporated into the new release, please
|
|
contact us to obtain SWIG-CVS access. We are also more than willing
|
|
to help port your module from SWIG1.1 to SWIG1.3. Please send email
|
|
to beazley@cs.uchicago.edu for further information.
|
|
|
|
Please report problems with this release to swig-dev@cs.uchicago.edu.
