the AT&T Software Technology ast alpha 2013-05-24 source and binary release
has been posted to the download site
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/alpha/
the package names and md5 checksums are
INIT ed29bc9017e7bed828b66977c474f3dc
ast-ksh ec93af891a10071d65afe581be31df30
the md5 sums should match the ones listed on the download page
if not then don't download
this alpha includes updated -last { aso cdt vmalloc }
which should be in much better shape in multi-threaded apps
these updates represent a flurry of activity surrounding the
retirement of long time ast colleague Phong Vo (moving on to google)
and making sure all of his latest stuff is properly merged into ast
since a lot of his code touches the heart of ast the merging is
a meticulous process and has taken up most of my ast time
the biggest effect w.r.t. the list has been to make note of but
not act on any non-ksh patches -- once the merge is done we'll start
looking at those patches (we've learned over the years that even the
smallest innocent patch has the ability to wreak havoc on a release --
debugging kpv merged code is hard enough -- adding in other changes
at the same time could tip the process into chaos)
the next ast-open alpha will be early next week
that will include updated -lvcodex and vczip
a corresponding uwin alpha will be about 2 weeks away
