Changes

• The core C++ library, renamed to Milena, has been rewritten from scratch and features numerous additions over the past releases.

• Milena uses a simplified version of the SCOOP 2 paradigm (informally called SCOOP 1.5), to improve the speed of compilation and the ease of development while still providing very good run-time performances.

• A first reimplementation of Swilena featuring Python wrappers for a very small subset of Milena is available. The Swilena Python Shell (sps) allows interactive Olena sessions.

• A reference documentation including a tutorial and a quick reference guide have been started. They do not cover the whole library yet.

• Olena includes some demos which use Milena, the core C++ library.

• Olena has now an official logo.

More information on updates are provided in the NEWS file of the package.
