The first pre-release of AdaBroker 1.0 is out.

[<quinot@inf.enst.fr>]

The new pre-release of AdaBroker, numbered 1.0pre1, is available from
  <URL:http://adabroker.eu.org/>.

AdaBroker is a set of tools and libraries that can be used to develop
CORBA applications in Ada. It provides an IDL parser, Ada code
generator, the CORBA predefined Ada support packages (defined by the
standard Ada mapping).

This release features a brand new IDL compiler, Idlac. Idlac
replaces the C++ IDL-to-Ada compiler based on the Sun front-end
found in earlier versions of AdaBroker. It will serve as a starting
point for the development of new AdaBroker services, including
Dynamic Invocation, and an Interface Repository.

AdaBroker 1.0pre1 is the first of a series of pre-releases. These
are meant for users to be able to test the new features recently
implemented, and report any problems that they will encounter.
After this beta-test phase, during which problems are likely to be
found and fixed, we will produce a final release of AdaBroker 1.0
that will be meant for production use.

We wish to thank all AdaBroker users who reported problems with
previous AdaBroker releases; their contribution to the process
of improving AdaBroker is appreciated.
