| |
| |
| We're pleased to announce SWIG-1.3.35, the latest installment in the |
| SWIG development effort. SWIG-1.3.35 includes a number of bug fixes |
| and large number of enhancements throughout. |
| |
| What is SWIG? |
| ------------- |
| |
| SWIG is a software development tool that reads C/C++ header files and |
| generates the wrapper code needed to make C and C++ code accessible |
| from other languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java, |
| Scheme (Guile, MzScheme, CHICKEN), Ocaml, Lua, Pike, C#, Modula-3, Octave, R, |
| Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI). SWIG can also export its parse |
| tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions. Major applications of |
| SWIG include generation of scripting language extension modules, rapid |
| prototyping, testing, and user interface development for large C/C++ |
| systems. |
| |
| Availability: |
| ------------- |
| The release is available for download on Sourceforge at |
| |
| http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swig-1.3.35.tar.gz |
| |
| A Windows version is also available at |
| |
| http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-1.3.35.zip |
| |
| Release numbers |
| --------------- |
| With SWIG-1.3, we are adopting an odd/even version numbering scheme for |
| SWIG. Odd version numbers (1.3, 1.5, 1.7, etc...) are considered to |
| be development releases. Even numbers (1.4,1.6,1.8) are stable |
| releases. The current 1.3 effort is working to produce a stable 2.0 |
| release. A stable 2.0 release will not be made until it can |
| accompanied by fully updated documentation. In the meantime, we will |
| continue to make periodic 1.3.x releases. |
| |
| Please report problems with this release to the swig-dev mailing list, |
| details at http://www.swig.org/mail.html. |
