Copyright © 1993 Jeremy Slade. All Rights Reserved. Locus Version 1.0 Release Notes JGS Fri May 24 23:58:58 PDT 1993 This is the final version of Locus. You should find with this release the following: · Locus Users Manual · Technical documentation to certain subsystems in Locus · Full source code, ready to build I was unable (do to a lack of a machine) to build a fat-binary version of Locus, so I didn't include any executable in the package. Also, there is one serious bug in this release: the Folders are not compatible across architectures. All archiving is done through NXTypedStreams, but there is a problem with something in the way the Group class is archived. I ported Locus to the Intel architecture very quickly and did not have time to test everything and track down these problems. Also, Folders created with previous versions of Locus will not be compatible with version 1.0. This is due to some changes made in porting Locus to the Intel platform. I could have made it backwards compatible still, but I decided I didn't to hassle with it. Sorry. When this package is released, I am no longer going to support it in any form -- that's what the source code is for. You can do whatever you want with the source and other parts of the program, but it is provided without warranty of any kind, and I will not be held responsible for any damages or lost productivity that arise out of use or inability to use this program. Have fun. Looking through source, you will probably come across things that seem to be unimplemented. Don't be surprised, they aren't implemented. I simply ran out of time to do all the things I would have liked to do, but I didn't bother removing any of the incomplete code. If you want to work on these things, great, otherwise you will probably never even notice that they are there.
