A-A-P version 0.1 Released

tools for developing, distributing, and installing software

(by Bram Moolenaar, 29 october 2002)
This is an important milestone for the A-A-P project: version 0.100 (aka 0.1) is ready!

The main goal for version 0.1 was to work out the recipe file format. I dare to say that this was successfully accomplished. The past weeks I have rewritten the tutorial, which includes a lot of recipe examples. Most of them are quite simple and straightforward. I hope you think likewise (if not, speak up!).

This release also means that the "aap" program is ready for real use. Although I wouldn't suggest using it for critical applications, it is certainly stable enough for many tasks. I am using it to update the websites for A-A-P and Vim, checkin new versions of A-A-P to the sourceforge CVS repository and several other things. I have not run into a problem lately.

The main issue in the next phase will be the IDE. Together with the cross referencer this should form the base of the 1.0 release. But there is still a lot of work to be done!
