| 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 ;-). | |||||
