I am pleased to announce the availability of the fifth EPIC4 production
release (epic4-2.4) and the first EPIC5 beta release (epic4-0.2.0):
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC4-PRODUCTION/epic4-2.4.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC4-PRODUCTION/epic4-2.4.tar.bz2
and
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-BETA/epic5-0.2.0.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-BETA/epic5-0.2.0.tar.bz2
Because EPIC4 is a mature finished product, the only changes since epic4-2.2
are bug fixes, the most important have to deal with remote crashes by rogue
servers. EPIC4 will continue to be maintained for bug fixes only.
Because EPIC5 is a (relatively) new product, and this is its first beta
release, I hope it will suffice to say that epic5 is signficantly different
from epic4, and you should not use an epic4 script with epic5. However, for
those of you who have been waiting for a stable release of epic5 to port
your scripts to it, now is the time! EPIC5 will continue active development.
Enjoy!
Jeremy
