THE ELJ PROJECT ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF ELJ 0.3, OPEN
SOURCE PROJECTS AND LIBRARY BINDINGS FOR EIFFEL

Australia -- August 17, 2002. The ELJ Project is
pleased to announce the release of version 0.3.

The ELJ Project has been making rapid progress in
developing new library bindings and applications in
the last few months. In fact, even though it's only
been a few weeks since the 0.2 release, enough has
changed to justify a 0.3 release. 

Many of the libraries and applications either run on
Linux or have that potential. The ELJ project is
actively recruiting Linux programmers.

Among the recent changes:

    * All standard wxWindows dialogs have been 
      implemented, along with IPC classes.
    * Device context related classes are now
available.
    * Support for the SQLite RDBMS engine.
    * The addition of the Perlish library.
    * Improved examples, and more of them.

The Perlish library adds Perl-like functionality to
the Eiffel language. It includes analogs to some
common Perl operators like <> and $_ as well as
globbing, simple report formatting, and the ability to
spawn child processes with redirected I/O between
parent and child.

The ELJ Project supports several applications,
relational databases, native libraries and bindings to
popular APIs.

Applications :
    * ELJ GIRLS -- a CRM, especially for Software 
      companies, based on wxWindows and Firebird.
    * SeBench -- an IDE for SmallEiffel.
    * XmlViewer -- based on ELJ and Gobo
    * PVSW -- a management tool for a Pervasive
database
    * Numerous examples for the wxWindows and database
bindings.

Native Libraries:
    * ePCRE -- an Eiffel port of PCRE, the Perl
Regular 
      Expression engine.
    * Perlish -- a library that provides some Perl
      functionality to Eiffel programs

Database Support:
    * Firebird
    * Berkely DB (SleepyCat)
    * MySQL
    * PostgreSQL
    * Btrieve (Pervasive SQL2000)
    * SQLite

GUI/OS Support:
   * Win32 API
   * wxWindows
   * OpenGL (proof of concept only)
   * Gtk
