New version of Bobcat

Post by tmokonen » Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:02 pm

I see there's a new version of Bobcat (v20110319), but when I click on the exe download link ( https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BzYyjs ... ZjBm&hl=en ), it says version 20110220. Is there exe files for 20110319, or am I missing something?

I don't think he has compiled one yet. Changes are in the source but no binary that I can see yet. Source says 20110312.

You could download the source of 20110319 at the top right of here......

https://github.com/Bobcat/bobcat/tree/master/src

.....and then compile it.

Okay, thanks Chris. I already had executables for v20110220 from before, but these executables do appear to be new recompiles. The CRC32 values are different from the old executables, and the x64 version is a different file size.

Hello Tony,

There is no release v20110319. I added the tag to the repository for my own administration. It's the tag that I want to revert to when my current development experiments fail. (I use github for backup and development but do all on the same (master) branch). You're right this is not very clear and I would better have tagged it something like dev20110319. Will do so from now on.

BTW. the current experiment is singular extensions. It's at the end of Search.h. I can't really get some extra strength with it yet, and it's break even at best until now. I haven't looked how other programs do it, but I read almost all the forum posts that pop up after searching for 'singular AND extension'.

Gunnar
