- History of Nife releases :
-
- 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 ;-).
- * The installation has been tested by Gaetan Angely on three ARM SBCs:
- Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, ODROID-U3 with Arch Linux ARM.

- benchmak on the two mailing lists.

- 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.

- board Model A with Porteus ARM (based on a Slackware ARM 14.0).
-
- 2013-09-25 - Nife 0.44 is released.
- * Fixed a bug causing a "segmentation violation" during compilation
- 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.
- All information about Porteus at http://www.porteus.org/.
-
- 2013-09-09 - Nife 0.43 is released.
