Summary

May 2001

05-18-2002

The last few days we discussed a lot of things in the mailing list, and since we discussed many features in the same thread, this thread became pretty nested and wiered. Yesterday I set up a discussion document which you can find here. Today I added some features which have been already discussed, but didn't come to a conclusion yet.

05-07-2001

Thanks to Peter Becker's XWeb! Yesterday and today I reorganized the whole webpage. Now everything is created with XWeb.

05-04-2001

Today I decided to work a little bit on the Platypus project again :-). I have made minor changes to the xsl - files for this homepage, so now hrefs are allowed in the abstract too. Now I'm rewriting / changing some of the homepage documents.

April 2001

04-22-2001

Ok, there was a long time without diary entries, so I try to write here, what I've done in the last few weeks.

We had many discussions about the RLS via the discussion forum on sourceforge, and also by email. Now we are rewriting the RLS using XML Schemas, so I'll replace the old RLS pages with "under construction" - pages today.

I also started to write xsl - stylesheets to automatically generate these webpages from xml - files. The pages you see here are already created using these stylesheets. You can get them (and the xml - files) in our CVS - repository.

04-02-2001

Today I marked some documents as deprecated, because there are many new good ideas in the RLS - Discussion forum.

March 2001

03-28-2001

I changed the phrase "RUSL Language Standard" in all documents to "RUSL Language Specification", according to a recommendation from Peter Becker.

03-26-2001

Some minor changes in the RLS... After all, I defined some methods for the basic builtins.

I also changed the appearence of the "Table of Contents" in the web pages, because in the basic builtin document, it bacame too long and didn't look very good.

03-25-2001

I continued with the thread classes and made a library out of them. They are not yet finished, and are not (officially) part of the Platypus RUSL project yet. I also started to implement the Symbol Table Classes. I did not much testing with the new methods yet, so I can only say that they compile without errors.

03-23-2001

Today I experimented a little bit with the pthread - functions. I started to write classes for multithreading which use pthread. When they're finished, they'll maybe become part of platypus rusl.

03-21-2001

I changed the document structure of the RLS.builtins.basic.html - document. It will be easyer to read and to maintain now. I also added two more classes to the basic builtins: string and Application. I think these two are really basics for the language. I also removed the xml_parse files from the project today (the files interacting with xerces), because we decided to use our own parser (PXP, details will be released later).

I also wrote a document called "The History of RUSL" today, but there are enough links spread over the platypus homepage where you can find it. Just look under Document Releases (DocRel).

03-20-2001

Today I began to write a function called "fake_symbol_tables", which will be used for testing until the Platypus XML Parser (PXP) from Rene works proper. I also decided to store the builtin classes not in the symbol tables, but in a separate class, to accelerate the access to them.

03-19-2001

Today I decided to begin a personal project diary for the Platypus RUSL project and to distribute it in this form.

Yesterday I uploaded the completely new Platypus RUSL homepage with new webdesign, new structure and changed content, which means, that yesterday all the pages have changed. unfortunately I forgot to update the modification date in all those pages, which I'll do now.

I also had to make some minor changes in the documents RLS.keywords.html and meeting022001.html.
