- The MetaKit Library 1.7 Copyright (C) 1996-1997 Meta Four Software
- ==============================================================================
- (see the file README.TXT for general information about this C++ class library)
-
-
- Notes about version 1.7 (1997,5,28,170) :
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- - Memory-mapped files implementation added for Win32 and Unix
- - Dramatic performance increase for string access in large views
- - Added STL-support (with strings and stdio) in the Universal release
- - Added member function equivalents for operators (Get, Set, AsRow)
- - Added "KitBinder" demo to embed MetaKit data in an executable
- - Complete redesign of the documentation, switched to "Perceps"
-
- CHANGES
-
- - The c4_Field and c4_Table classes/headers are no longer public
- - Major redesign and optimization of the internal c4_Column class
- - Removed several internal module dependencies, moved some code
- - Current version is up to ten times as fast as before (MSVC, Win32)
- - Floating point code now disabled in "small model" (Intel) builds
- - Changed binary comma operator in c4_View to allow use with STL
-
- BUG FIXES
-
- - Fixed a resizing problem with doubles in nested sub-views
-
- NOTE
-
- This is the last release for which MSVC 4.1 and 4.2 builds will be
- supported. Future releases will use MSVC 5.0 or higher, although the
- code is likely to remain compatible, allowing source-code recompiles.
-
-
- As this release again demonstrates, MetaKit continues to evolve in a number
- of very substantial ways. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

- Best regards, Jean-Claude
