   OPALE HISTORY
 *****************
===================

*) OpaleV1b8
***********************

 ->> Modules and packages version  :
      - Opale tools 0.15
      - Opale mathtools 0.17 
      - Opale matrix 0.12 
      - Opale 2d 0.17
      - Opale ODE 0.15 


 ->> New classes in the package ode for the step time control
 ->> New test case tests/ode/StandardControl 


*) OpaleV1b7 26/11/2001
***********************

 ->> New class tools.Assert for the compatibility with jdk1.4
 ->> New objects in  m2d.componenent2d
 ->> little modifications in ode
 ->> new test case  for the package matrix : Jacobi


*) OpaleV1b6 12/11/2001
***********************

 ->> no important changes : we have just cleaned the archive. 

*) OpaleV1b5 29/09/2001
***********************

 ->> New classes in the package opale.tools : OpaleSet and OpaleObject. These  classes define the object structure of the library : many classes of the library must derivate of the superclass OpaleObject in order to be in the Opale hierarchy.
 ->> New package opale.mathtools.parser : a mathematical parser


*) OpaleV1b4 29/07/2001
***********************


 ->> New packages opale.cst and opale.cst.chemistry

 ->> Modules and packages version  :
      - Opale tools 0.13 
      - Opale mathtools 0.14 
      - Opale matrix 0.11 
      - Opale 2d 0.12
      - Opale ODE 0.12 



*) OpaleV1b3 13/05/2001
***********************


 ->> IMPORTANT  < COMPATIBILITY LOSS > :  opale.ode.ker becomes opale.ode and opale.m2d.ker becomes opale.m2d. This is  definitive.

 ->> New package matrix
 ->> New Classes for polynomials implementation.
 ->> Automatic tests launcher (by Java script and programme)
 
 ->>  Modules and packages version :
      - Opale tools 0.12 
      - Opale mathtools 0.13 
      - Opale matrix 0.1 
      - Opale 2d 0.12
      - Opale ODE 0.11 



*) OpaleV1b2 03/03/2001
***********************

 ->> New reorganisation , less important than the precedent but the definitive form seems to be fixed. 

 ->> Apparition of utils (scripts for Unices and soon for DOS )

 ->>  Modules and packages version :
      - Opale tools 0.11
      - Opale mathtools 0.12
      - Opale 2d 0.12
      - Opale ODE 0.1
      
 ->> WARNING :  ## COMPATIBILITY LOSS FOR THE POLYNOMIALS ##

	Polynomials implementation is at the prototype stage and the compatibility will not be assured in the following versions.	

           
*) OpaleV1b1 01/2001  
********************

 ->> Important and more coherent reorganisation of the packaging.
 ->> Packages' names change.
 ->> Ascending compatibility is upgraded with the precedent versions.
 ->> Apparition of the swools package.

	
*) OpaleV011  10/2000  .
*********************
 ->> Upgrading the precedent version
 ->> Apparition of the ODE module 


*) OpaleV01 07/2000  
*******************

 ->> First package version of Opale
 ->> Packages :  tools and mathtools
 ->> 2D module
