<PRE>The UNIX pre-Release tarball is available at:
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools++/Jun_16_2002/ncbi_cxx_unix.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools++/Jun_16_2002/ncbi_cxx_unix.tar.gz</A>
|
|
|
|
|
|
MS-Windows and Mac ones are planned to appear there shortly (in a
|
|
matter of 1-2 weeks).
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release includes a lot of changes comparing to the previous one,
|
|
including but not limited to:
|
|
|
|
0) Much improved (restructured and updated) documentation:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/index.html">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/index.html</A>
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html</A>
|
|
There is also an effort underway to put the docs into a more
|
|
printable ("book-like") format. One quick-and-dirty PDF draft
|
|
of the docs is going to be available in a matter of days.
|
|
|
|
1) "Object manager" to automate the (up)loading and handling of bio-sequences:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumXOBJMGR">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumXOBJMGR</A>
|
|
and other generic bio-sequences related functionality:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/lxr/source/include/objects/util/">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/lxr/source/include/objects/util/</A>
|
|
|
|
2) All-new database connectivity API (DBAPI):
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumDBAPI">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumDBAPI</A>
|
|
*) We ship FreeTDS sources with the Toolkit tarball, which could allow
|
|
you to connect to the databases (e.g. MS SQL) even if you do not
|
|
have client DB libs (such as CTLIB or DBLIB) installed on your
|
|
computer. -- We've incorporated the FreeTDS sources into the
|
|
Toolkit's project tree to ease the configuration, but you can use
|
|
your own (original) FreeTDS installation (see "--with-ftds=" conf.flag).
|
|
|
|
3) Much improved network connection and dispatcherization library:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumXCONNECT">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/libs.html#ref_SumXCONNECT</A>
|
|
|
|
4) Changes in the code generation (by DATATOOL from ASN.1) and serialization
|
|
|
|
5) Added MT-safety and performance (reduced inter-locking) in
|
|
multi-threaded mode. (However, there is still more to be done here).
|
|
|
|
6) Ports to other compilers (Compaq C++), newer compiler versions
|
|
(SUN Forte 6 Update 2, GCC 3.0.*, GCC 3.1), and OS'es (FreeBSD).
|
|
There is a fresh Mac/Darwin port too, which we hope to release real soon.
|
|
|
|
7) Built-in testsuite (make check_r) -- however many of the test are
|
|
not going to work out-of-NCBI.
|
|
|
|
8) Tons of bug fixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ATTENTION:
|
|
|
|
Outside-NCBI users who have been using previous snapshot, should be
|
|
prepared to fight (maybe a lot of, but it depends)
|
|
back-incompatibility issues.
|
|
We are sorry about this extra work for you, but the Toolkit is under
|
|
heavy development now, and therefore APIs can change. To alleviate
|
|
this sort of extra hassle, we 'll try to put up the snapshots on
|
|
more regular basis; also, some APIs are already pretty much
|
|
stabilized already, and are not going to change dramatically in the
|
|
future.
