| History of Nife releases : | |||
| History of Septime releases : | |||
| 2022-01-04 - Nife 0.61 is released. | |||
| * Added a definition of HUGE for compilers that no longer have it in | |||
| math.h. Thanks to Jacques Godfrain Kounkou for his bug report ! | |||
| * Added some "include" where it was missing. | |||
| 2019-01-27 - Nife 0.60 is released. | |||
| * Updated headers to show that the project is still alive ! | |||
| * The Nife official site is now : https://www.seriane.org/nife/ | |||
| 2016-08-15 - Nife 0.59 is released. | |||
| * Add implementation of data meta-stacks tools for context swapping : | |||
| [ and ] for respectively increment and decrement the numerical stack, | |||
| { and } to do theses operations with the character stack, | |||
| ( and ) to do the same thing with the logical stack, | |||
| and [* and ]* to operate on the three stacks. | |||
| * Fixed a bug causing an error with network functions netDt> and NetKey. | |||
| * The Nife official site is now : http://www.nifesys.org. | |||
| 2015-08-10 - Nife 0.55 is released. | |||
| * Changing the log file contents to be able to use it for debugging. | |||
| The log file is in the subdirectory .nife. His name is the type | |||
| .nife_PID.log, PID being its number of pid. | |||
| We can display the content in real time with tail -f. | |||
| The .nifeNS_pid.log and .nifeRPC_PID.log files are those of the | |||
| server networks and its bodies. | |||
| Log files are deleted at the end of the Nife session unless an error | |||
| occured. | |||
| * Added "savelog function to save the logs before going out. | |||
| * Placing aid debugging functions. All these functions begin with the _ | |||
| character and are listed with ?libp function. | |||
| * Added shell script command, ex/NifeDebugTerms, to facilitate | |||
| establishment and closing of the display terminals for the logs. | |||
| * Added the possibility, in graphic mode, to open or close | |||
| terminals with keys 'home' and 'end'. These functionalities are | |||
| based on performance in the window manager of the above script. | |||
| * Reorganization of system functions in the function stack. | |||
| * Improved tasks and consoles. | |||
| * Added the ability to execute external command interactively, with the | |||
| character ! at the beginning of the line. | |||
| 2014-08-31 - Nife 0.51 is released. | |||
| * Finalising the version 1.0 of the functions dump and restore with the | |||
| definition of the NBLF, Nife Binary Linkable Format. | |||
| * Modify some labels to clarify the perception of internal mechanisms. | |||
| * Some modifications to avoid unnecessary warnings at compilation. | |||
| * Temporary suspension of some functions related to the dynamic aspect | |||
| of the language because, used improperly, it could be dangerous. | |||
| These functions will be include again, but with more explanations and | |||
| examples. | |||
| 2014-06-27 - Nife 0.49 is released. | |||
| * Add DEC, HEX, OCT and BIN functions to define the print mode for the | |||
| integers. The default is decimal. | |||
| * Modify signals comportment to accept interrupt from terminal to stop | |||
| execution in the main (interactive) task. | |||
| * Fixed an error in the case of the end: label is before the onerr: one. | |||
| * Fixed a bug when a signal "segmentation violation" is catched. | |||
| * Add some help facilities suggested by Alain Empain, until his tools | |||
| are efficient in Nife. | |||
| * Beginning the functions dump and restore with definition of the NBLF, | |||
| Nife Binary Linkable Format (just for a Request for Comments ;-). | |||

| package i2c-tools. | |||
| * The I2C interface has been developped and tested by P. Foubet | |||
| with his students Elodie Kerfourn and Aymeric Diankouika. They | |||
| connected a Raspberry Pi with an Arduino board through the I2C bus | |||
| and wrote a Nife program to highlight the data exchange between the | |||
| two elements. | |||
| * The installation has been tested by Bernard Bonno on a Raspberry Pi | |||
| board Model A with Porteus ARM (based on a Slackware ARM 14.0). | |||

| of the Nife code on some systems as Raspberry Pi A and B and others. | |||
| This bug was reported by Bernard Bonno during tests on a Raspberry Pi | |||
| Model A with 256 Mo of memory. | |||
| * The installation has been tested by Bernard Bonno on a PC i484 | |||
| with a Linux Porteus 2.0. | |||
