Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ocaml-bitstring 1.9.6 (formerly known as ocaml-bitmatch)
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:41:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717124143.GA21377@annexia.org> (raw)
I'm please to announce version 1.9.6 of ocaml-bitstring (formerly
known as ocaml-bitmatch). The home page has changed again, so please
update any bookmarks or links to point to the new home page here:
http://code.google.com/p/bitstring/
Version 1.9.6 features 'check()', 'bind()' and 'save_offset_to()'
qualifiers which give you much greater control over the matching
process. For example:
bitmatch packet with
| { len : 16 : check (len > 0), bind (len*8);
data : len : string;
crc : 32 : check (crc_ok data crc), save_offset_to (crc_offset)
} ->
printf "length of data (in bits) = %d\n" len;
printf "offset of CRC in packet (in bits) = %d\n" crc_offset
| { _ } -> printf "bad packet\n"
We have also fixed some bugs, clarified the licensing everywhere (for
Debian), and improved the META file.
A troublesome company sent my employer a Cease and Desist notice,
claiming that their trademark on the word "BitMatch" for "Computer
software for comparing and analyzing computer software"[sic] covered
ocaml-bitmatch. No such thing is true, but because of the time and
expense of dealing with the legal process we have decided to rename
ocaml-bitmatch to ocaml-bitstring for their benefit (still very
time-consuming). As a result, we are gradually moving the old
website, wiki etc. to the new home page above, and some internals will
change (code will be backwards-compatible, but you may need to make
some changes to build scripts). Thanks to Sylvain Le Gall for
offering hosting.
Rich.
