I am pleased to announce the 1.0a9 release of e4Graph, the ninth Alpha release.

WHAT IS IT: e4Graph is a C++ library that allows programs to store graph-like data persistently and to access and manipulate that data efficiently. With e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly. e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not having to know about other connections represented in the data set. The e4Graph package also provides bindings in several other languages, currently Tcl, Python and Java, and allows input/output of object graphs via an XML representation.

The e4Graph package is built on top of Metakit 2.4.9.2, and optionally uses Tcl 8.4.4, Python 2.2.3, Java 1.1 or later, and Expat 1.95.5.

WHERE TO GET:

Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/e4graph/
Homepage: http://www.e4graph.com/e4graph/
Changelog: http://www.e4graph.com/e4graph/changes.txt
Installation: http://www.e4graph.com/e4graph/e4install.html

WHAT IS NEW: This release is mainly a bug-fix release. A bug in vertex caching that caused incorrect rank information to be returned was fixed. A bug in the parsing and generation of BASE64 encoded strings was also fixed. An installer bug that prevented installation of the Tcl package index file for the tgraph library was fixed.

New APIs were added to retrieve the version number for the e4Graph library running now. Each storage now also contains the version number for the e4Graph library used to write it, and new APIs were added to retrieve that information. Received on Mon Sep 08 2003 - 07:03:07 CEST
