Curie
Curie is a very minimalistic, tiny C library. It supports basic I/O, basic networking, S-expression based I/O, signal handling, process handling, and I/O multiplexing. If the target architecture is explicitly supported, statically linked binaries may be as small as 4-20 kilobytes; if not, then it only relies on the host's C library. The library explicitly does not provide a POSIX interface so that it may be used in conjunction with a regular host libc (or without one).

Changes: Not much changed regarding the API, just a few minor stability fixes. However, this release adds a port of both curie and icemake to Windows/x86, which works with MSVC++, Borland/Turbo C++, and Mingw/GCC. Carefully designed curie-only programs that do not use libsyscall should now work on Windows as well as Linux and Darwin. icemake should prove to be a very effective tool with which to write and port programs.

Changes: This release mostly ties up some loose ends, and does nothing spectacular. Icemake got itself a shiny new manpage, as well as the ability to install those. curie got some minor feature enhancements. libsyscall has been fixed to properly implement things based on socketcall() on Linux architectures that still use this interface.

Changes: This release fixes a lot of issues with curie-6. In particular, there have been a number of fixes to the regex code, including UTF-8 support, and to some of the I/O code. C++ support has been significantly improved, although curie++ has been mostly stripped out of the release itself. The documentation received a big boost as well, and icemake can now handle documentation in Tex and will use Doxygen when appropriate and available. Icemake has also been given the ability to create shared objects.

Changes: Apart from the regular bugfixes, this release adds directory handling and regular expression matching to the list of curie's features. Both new features should also have gotten proper documentation and a good batch of testing, and a couple of oddities about the graph code have been fixed in the process.
