Release 0.2.3: Fri Jun 2 03:35:54 EDT 2000
* Found and optimized away the quadratic search that was making
0.2.2 painfully slow.
* Correct checkbuttons for boolean values.
The compiler is looking very solid. So are the line-oriented and
X front ends. There is one unresolved bug report of a crash in the
curses front end; I couldn't reproduce it, so it may have come out
in the wash in the evolution from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3.
The bad slowdown in 0.2.2 is fixed; I found a way to optimize the
deduction code that gets rid of most of the overhead of visibility
calculations.
I believe the command set for the front ends is basically complete,
unless somebody points out a basic new capability that I haven't
thought up. The UIs are in close to final form. The only significant
capability still missing is the ability to edit long string fields
in the curses front end, and I expect to fix that soon.
All praise to the intrepid early adopters on the linux-kernel list who
helped CML2 get past its teething stage: David Kamholz, Giacomo
Catenazzi, Robert Wittams, and Randy Dunlap.
