StrategoXT 0.9.2 -- released 2003-07-04

This is a logistics release. The main purpose of the work done for
this release is to create more and better distributions.

The buildfarm at the UU now creates all the distributions: source
tarballs, source rpms and binary rpms. This will make it much more
easy for the maintainers of StrategoXT to create new releases.
Hopefully this will lead to more frequent releases, which is a good
thing.

From now on we will support binary RPMs in every release. Currently
the buildfarm only builds RPMs for SuSE 8.2 and Redhat 8.0, but the
buildfarm will be extended with other versions of Redhat and SuSE in
the near future.

We've finally solved some distribution problems that have been around
for quite some time. StrategoXT and the SDF2 bundle now support a
separate 'make' and 'make install' by a separation of build time,
install time and runtime dependencies. The separate make/make install
was more or less required for creating RPMs, but for user installation
it is very useful as well. Thanks to a suggestion submitted by
Valentin David, StrategoXT and the SDF2 bundle can now be configured
without a prefix, which defaults to the autoconf default (usually
/usr/local).

Rob Vermaas refactored the dot-tools package to the standard structure
of a package for a concrete syntax (syn, sig, pp). The graph-tools
packages now uses the dot-tools package instead of its own (copied)
signatures for the dot language.

Rob Vermaas has also compiled the complete StrategoXT distribution on
Cygwin. He encountered some small problems, which he has all been able
to solve. Unfortunately the performance showed to be disappointing.
However, StrategoXT should now support Cygwin, but the support is not
verified in the buildfarm. From one of the next releases we will start
providing binary distributions for Microsoft Windows users.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

  * StrategoXT (Martin Bravenboer)
    - configuration without prefix is now possible.
    - several packages are now first installed locally
      to allow a separate make/make install:
      - xtc: for install time
      - srts: for build time
      - autoxt for bootstrap time

  * asfix-tools (Martin Bravenboer)
    - asource is no longer installed. It used to be a symbolic
      link to asfix-yield.

  * aterm-tools (Merijn de Jonge)
    - fixed treeviz: Tool was compiled with incorrect main
      strategy.

  * dot-tools (Rob Vermaas)
    - changed structure of package to the common structure
      of -tools/-front packages.

  * graph-tools (Rob Vermaas)
    - now using dot-tools

  * sc (Merijn de Jonge)
    - stratego-warnings: stratego analysis tool
      Currently it checks for usage of obsolete strategies and for
      missing build operators in calls to the "debug" strategy.
    - sc: -W|--warning can be used to apply the stratego-warnings tool.

  * ssl (Martin Bravenboer)
    - --about and --version are now
      standard switches in parse-options.
    - posix-signal.str: prefixed signal overlays with
      SIG. Reported by Karina.

  * stratego-tools (Merijn de Jonge)
    - conc-modules has been fixed to deal with .str and .rtree files,
      and now uses parse-stratego rather than parse-mod.
