Dependent packages need to add to all their GNUmakefile: include SoftRelTools/arch_spec_STL.mk

October 23, 1998:

The following releases were announced October 23, 1998

Now Uses STLUtility to over-ride some STL implementations
Platforms checked:
KAI on d0chb with D0 environment
KAI on cdfsga with CDF environment
KAI under Linux
gcc on cdfsga (6.2)
MSVC++ 5.0 under NT (limited testing)
Limitations and dependencies:
STLUtility v0.0.8.1 or above.
Dependent packages need to add to all their GNUmakefile: include SoftRelTools/arch_spec_STL.mk
The deprecated FixedTypes package has now officially been eliminated.
Instead you must include "ZMutility/FixedTypes.h" rather than "FixedTypes/FixedTypes.hh"

April 21, 1998:

ZMutility: v1.2.3; cvs rtag V01-02-03

The deprecated FixedTypes package has now officially been eliminated in favor of the submodule included with ZMutility. Also, ZMutility has now been ported to Linux under KAI.
Platforms checked:
gcc on IRIX 5.3 and 6.2 reference platforms
KAI on d0chb with D0 environment
KAI on cdfsga with CDF environment
KAI under RedHat 5.0 on cdfpca with CDF environment
MSVC++ 5.0 under NT with D0 environment (pending SoftRelTools merging)
gcc on cdfsga with CDF environment
gcc under Redhat 5.0 Linux (verified by a user, not ZOOM)
Dependencies: none, and none are anticipated.

March 6, 1998:

ZMutility: v1.2, cvs rtag V01-02-00

Includes enhancements in the FixedTypes sub-package to implement in terms of typedef's instead of #define's.
Platforms checked:
KAI on d0chb with D0 environment
KAI on cdfsga with CDF environment
gcc on cdfsga with CDF environment
NT under C++ 5.0 (limited testing)
The deprecated FixedTypes package has NOT been changed. To get the improved implementation you must include "ZMutility/FixedTypes.h" rather than "FixedTypes/fixed_types.hh".

March 2, 1998:

ZMutility: v1.1, cvs rtag V01-01-00

A change has been made in the organization priciples of the ZMutility package: henceforth, nothing in ZMutility will be allowed to depend on ANY OTHER PACKAGE.
To make this feasible we have split out of ZMutility the "contributed sub-packages" that were intended to reside in that package. These will instead go into the new ZMtools package (see below). The first example is ZMtimer which depends on the ZOOM Exceptions package for handling unusual problems.
This change affects no previously tagged versions, but is a substantial change in intent, so a new version tag has been defined.
Platforms checked:
KAI on d0chb with D0 environment
KAI on cdfsga with CDF environment
gcc on cdfsga with CDF environment
NT under C++ 5.0 (limited testing)
Dependencies: None -- and there will never be any dependencies for this package!

Feb. 5, 1998:

ZMutility: Beta release v1.01; cvs rtag V01-00-01

Includes new PI.h header (used by PhysicsVectors);
Checked under: KAI on d0chb with D0 environment, KAI on cdfsga with CDF environment, gcc on cdfsga (6.2) and fncrdn (IRIX 5.3), and NT under C++ 5.0 (limited testing);
Additional useful utilities will contiue to be added to this package.
