If this file contains a call of one or more functions, they will be executed, and the result will be send on the Net using NetKey. - Adding NetErr to get the Net Error value. * Adding the ex directory in src with some program examples : - gp.nif, an example for gplot functions, - rpc.nif and rpc2.nif for Nife RPC example. 2012-06-06 - Nife 0.320 is released. * Beginning of the gplot module for use of gnuplot (www.gnuplot.info). * adding theses functions : - gplot and gplotM (multiple) to create gplots, - gplotCmd to append text to the plot command, - ?gp to list the gplots, - del_gplot to delete a gplot, - gplotAdd and gplotRepl (with replacement) to add values to plots, - gplotClear to clear a display panel. * The installation has been tested by Bruno Guilbert on a Fox board G20 (Debian debarm 2.6.38 with CPU Atmel AT91SAM9G20 based on ARM926EJ-S) with the students TRSE2 of Ingesup-Paris : All information about the board at www.acmesystems.it. 2012-05-22 - Nife 0.317 is released. * Adding ndepth giving network stack depth using NetKey, * Definition of principles for Nife RPC (remote procedure call). * Adding netExec to execute a function on a remote Nife using NetKey. * The installation has been tested by Dr Alain Empain (ulg.ac.be) on Ubuntu Lucid 10.O4 (Linux 2.6.38-15 - x86_64) * The installation has been tested by Paul Bartoldi (unige.ch) on Ubuntu 12.O4 LTS (Linux 3.0.0-12 - x86_32) 2012-05-11 - Nife 0.315 is released. * Beginning of distributed systems tools elaborated with Thomas Pabst : - automatic evaluation of the dt values at network connection, - adding netDt> to get the clock difference value beetween "network" and Nife system. * The installation has been tested on Debian Wheezy Testing (Linux 3.2.0-2 - x86_32) 2012-05-04 - Nife 0.311 is released. * Modifying errors traps to get a better bug resolution. * The installation has been tested by Bernard Perrin (csem.ch) on MacOS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (Darwin Kernel Vers 10.8.0 - x86_32) 2012-03-16 - Nife 0.307 is released. * Adding auto-convergent loop : do ... loop * Adding standards loop : do ... +loop * Possibility to test the loop level and use indexes I, J and K. * Adding del_ofunc to delete, by name, the oldest function, * Adding del_afunc to delete all functions beginning by a prefix, * Adding "exec to execute a user function giving her name on the character stack. * Adding "Var to create a variable giving her name on the character stack. * Rename functions sub[] in []-sub and *sub[] in *[]-sub to adopt a more logical notation. 2012-03-08 - Nife 0.303 is released. * This release is specially dedicated to my wife Christine. * Now you can use nife with redirection or pîpe : nife < fic.nif or cat fic.nif | nife Thank you to Denis Bodor for the idea ! 2012-02-22 - Nife 0.302 is released. * Christophe Ondrejec has validate the site nife-project.org * Updating README, NEWS and all informations files. * The installation has been tested on : - Debian Lenny (Linux 2.6.26-2 - x86_32) - Debian Squeeze (Linux 2.6.32-5 - x86_64) - Mac OS X (Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1 - x86_32) - Open BSD (Version 5.0 GENERIC#43 - x86_32) - Solaris 11 (SunOS v 5.11 - x86_32) - Fedora Core 15 (Linux 2.6.38-6 - x86_32) - Open Suze 12.1 (Linux 3.1.0-1 - x86_64) * Adding a benchmark test. 2012-02-13 - Nife 0.300 is released (internal). * Upgrading for working on both 32 or 64 bits. * Upgrading SCS (Sister Chip Signature) to accept data from machine differents on code or addresses but using compatible datas. * Integration of the GNU Autotools to generate the packages. 2011-11-13 - Nife 0.212 is released. * Network tools with STSP (stack to stack protocol) v0.5 : ie WITH ScS (Sister chip signature) v 1. * correction of function []trot. * new function []transp to transpose matrix. 2011-11-09 - Nife 0.209 is released. * Network tools with STSP (stack to stack protocol) v.0 : ie without ScS (Sister chip signature). 2011-10-31 - Nife 0.204 is released. 2011-10-26 - Nife 0.200 is released. 2011-09-18 - Nife 0.113 the first public release on Sourceforge.net.
