With the Design Patterns complete, focus is back where we start to justify
21
the name of the library - Linux!
23
That being said, be forwarned, this release is primarily a documentation and
24
packaging enhancement. We have added RPM and DEB packages to the downloads.
26
In addition, welcome to Hans Dulimarta who's immediate contribution was in
27
cleaning up some of the documentation for consistency and correctness.

Although an attempt has been made to preserve the interfaces, some
31
have changed because of the recent work, and problems found with some

C++ standard libraries during initialization. In most places a std::string
33
argument has been replaced with CharCptr.
