Libra 0.1.2 has been released.
You may download it from:
http://www.skinner.demon.co.uk/aidan/programming/libra/download.html
Libra is a general library for the Ada '95 programming language.
It currently contains the following data structures:
single linked lists
double linked lists
queues
dequeues
stacks
binary search trees
AVL binary search tress
Libra provides some cryptographic ciphers thanks to Micheal Roe,
namely:
CAST
RC6
MARS
Rijndael
Safer Plus
Twofish
There is also an implementation of the SHA-1 hashing algorithim.
In Libra.Strings there lives a package called extraction, which aims
to implement string extraction into arrays of unbounded strings in a
similar way to perl. It's very new though.
Finally Libra implements thin bindings for NNTP and SMTP clients.
It is hoped that the range of data structures will shortly increase,
as will the range of cryptographic algorithims available. The main
focus of Libra, however, is networking and that is where you should
expect to see the greatest activity.
Libra 0.1.3 is hoped to be out by the middle of December, but may well slip.
Please note that Libra is still in development, and may well be
unstable, and might crash, explode or burst into a chorus of Monty
Pythons "Eric The Half A Bee" without warning.
Finally, Libra may be moving to a new server which will hopefully
provide mailing lists and a CVS server, news on this will follow.
