The xbase name is being used by other projects, + so I thought it was time for a new name. + +3) Modified the license from LGPL to GPL as recommended by the GNU web site. + Files that I have not been able to get permission from the original + author for GPL terms have beed deleted from the library. + +4) Trimmed the tree: Dropped support for the xbHtml class, the turbo vision + interface, and the ybase directory. These are either unused, not working, + undocumented, not maintained, or I didn't have authority to change the + license from LGPL to GPL. + +5) Didn't move make files forward that were not documented or working. + These need to be reviewed and brought forward. + +6) Worked on the locking logic. + +7) Added support for Borland C++ 5.x compiler. + +8) Created a new data type of XB_BOOL. Current bool data type was causing + issues in certain environments. + +9) Dropped support for XB_CASTELLANO dates. Changed the logic to use + system locale settings, this supports descriptive dates in different + languages. + +10) Cleaned up memory leaks. + +11) Updates to the documentation. + +12) Enhancements to the expression logic + +13) Fixed the broken index logic - the ndx and ntx indices are working + again. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +For a the historical NEWS file history (pre 9/15/03), review the older +xbase library. |
