Version 3 is available
Paul Hoffman
fixes for the bugs reported by Ken Raeburn and some cleanup of the
runtime code to run cleanly with the -pedantic flag.
A note about our release pattern: we hare happy to have new releases
often. We think this is better than having "nightly builds" or
requiring users to keep checking the SVN repository for
between-version fixes. So, expect to see more versions as more bugs
are reported.
At this point, we only expect to add one more significant feature in
the near future. A2C_Validate will allow the programmer to validate
the contents of a type or or field; for a structure, each of the types
or fields inside the structure will be recursively validated. If there
are other features you think are needed for A2C, by all means let us
know.
