It's available at the URL http://home.tiscalinet.ch/t_wolf/tw/ada95/adabrowse/ in source form and as pre-built executables for Win NT/2k and GNAT 3.15p as well as GNAT 3.16a. AdaBrowse is distributed under the terms of the GPL. AdaBrowse 4.0 is a major step forward from the last announced release 3.0 from Aug 2002 (or even from the last published version 3.4.2 from June 2003). New features: 1. User-defineable indices. You can define what kinds of items shall go into any index using expressions of boolean queries like e.g. "(type or subtype) and not (task or protected or controlled)", which would produce an index of all types and subtypes that are not task or protected or controlled types, or "constant and not incomplete", which would produce an index of all constants and named numbers, but not include deferred constants. There may be any number of indices, each with its own expression, file name, and title. 2. GNAT project manager integration. AdaBrowse 4.0 can work with GNAT project files; it now also has a -P command line option. This simplifies using AdaBrowse considerably if you are using project files already. Using project files, AdaBrowse now also fully support arbitrary naming conventions as defined in the project file. The pre-built executables do have project manager support. If you're building from the sources, you'll need to have the GNAT sources, otherwise the Makefile will build an AdaBrowse without project manager support. 3. The XML output now also contains the indices. The DTD has been changed accordingly; it's now at V2.0. Please read the User's Guide on how to work with these new features! AdaBrowse 4.0 has passed all my regression tests. If you still find bugs, please report them to the address given in the User's Guide in the distribution. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Wolf e-mail: t_wolf@angelfire.com
