FrAid 1.4 available

2006-07-07T17:54:47Z

Here is what is new/changed in FrAid 1.4:
- FrAid is now modular (use install_fraid_modular.jar, or see fraid_core.jar)
- major refactoring of the code due to the previous point;
- org.fraid.Scripting is now split on three interfaces due to the first point;
- static_symbols is not used any more but FrAid searches dynamically the installation for functions;
- changes in some existing functions - rk and rk1 now take additional string parameter (see the documentation and examples);
- some new functions - printClassPath(); and printPlugins();
- new plugin and function - see fourier();
- the site fraid.org changed substatially.

FrAid 1.3 available

2006-01-17T05:56:50Z

Here is what is new/changed in FrAid 1.3:
- Now everything builds properly with jdk 1.5;
- New scripting interface org.fraid.Scripting;
- New FrAid Console working under Unix and Windows;
- the interpreter org.fraid.interpreter was generated using the latest JavaCC 4.0;
- org.fraid.complex.ComplexFunction is a class (not interface anymore);
- the java implemented functions do inherit from ComplexFunction and not Zero;
- new streamlined way to execute FrAid functions from Java or a scripting environment. Now you can use Complex ComplexFunction.exec( Object... args ) which wrapps around Complex ComplexFunction.invoke( Complex[] args );
- A couple of important changes to org.fraid.interpreter.Fraid.Start():
= stops at every end of line character (';'), this means that to make it process a multi line expression you need a loop - see the examples or the main function;
= returns null at EOF (use this as the ending condition of your loop, see prev. point);
- org.fraid.algorithm moved to org.fraid.plugin.algorithm
- org.fraid.symbtable moved to org.fraid.interpreter.symbtable

Available at http://fraid.org

Here is what is new/changed in FrAid 1.1:
- now FrAid lives in the org.fraid namespace (iiichaos is gone);
- the installation/startup procedure;
- now to execute FrAid (no matter how - command line, applet, your code) you need only fraid.jar;
- new functions - min, max, quad;
- now all graphics built using FunctionPlotPlugIn (see the plot function) supports ptinting the function name in the graph;
- org.fraid.interpreter.Fraid::Start returns Complex making retrieving results from the FrAid scripts very easy;

Will soon try to move the repository to the sourceforge's CVS system...
