[C++ Toolkit ANNOUNCE] Follow-up: New NCBI C++ Toolkit Release (March 31, 2004) is available

[Denis Vakatov]

***  Post-install fixes:

A) For a couple hours after the original Release announcement, CURRENT
   still pointed to the older, Dec 8 2003, release. -- Fixed Fri evening.

B) The MacOSX CodeWarrior archive (ncbi_cxx_mac_cw-...) included some
   extra stuff, so it was 44M big. -- Fixed Mon morning, it's now 8.5M.


***  Next Release:

C) This one was a limited-scale release which included only the changes made by
   Mar 10, 2004 in the following projects:
      CORELIB
      UTIL
      CONNECT
      CTOOLS
      MISC
      SCRIPTS
      Build framework (except for MSVC7)

   The next release shall include changes made in other projects (and some
   but not all made in the abovementioned ones) since the "Dec 8" release and
   through approximately mid-April.
   It 'll also include the framework for developing with MSVC++ .NET.

> NOTES:
> 
> 1) This release is lacking MSVC++ .NET support. It'll re-appear in the
>    next release, and it's present on the anonymous CVS server (at least, in
>    the "development" source tree).
> 
> 2) This public release is made off the snapshot of "production" CVS source tree
>    (with maybe a few fixes mostly for MacOS X with CodeWarrior), which can be
>    retrieved using symbolic tag "ProductionBuild_20040330".
> 
> 3) For the guidelines on how to retrieve the "development" and "production"
>    NCBI C++ Toolkit sources from the public CVS server at NCBI, consult here:
