  • ALWAYS USE LONG is the new rule for CoCoALib
    • this is an endless debate in C circles, but everyone agrees a public library should use the intersection of the signed and unsigned ranges for safety checks

    1.2M
    08 Jan 2009     		Now using MachineInteger type whenever a machine integer value is used in place of RingElem. This avoids nasty surprised when C++ silently converts signed value into unsigned (or vice versa).
    Fixed a bug in RegisterServerOps.C the server call to MayerVietorisTree.

    8 Oct 2008     		Modified the error ID objects so that they contain (and print out) alphanumeric codes (as well as all the information which was printed out before).

    Changed the way to check the type of error in an ErrorInfo object (and herein lies the backward incompatibility). The new way should be simpler to use.

    22 Sep 2008     		cocoa-4 and CoCoAServer communication has changed (you need the new cocoa5.cpkg for CoCoA-4):
    OperationCommunication allows variable number of arguments and sends the information to the server. So the function myReadArgs in RegisterServerOps.C now takes an extra argument, NumArgs.
