Hi Everyone,

The Loki developers are excited to announce a new release of the
highly acclaimed open source project, Loki! This new release comes
with several new components and fixes almost all bugs, all while
providing support for more compilers and IDE's.


The five new components are: Allocator, Checker, CheckReturn,
LevelMutex, and SafeBits.

Allocator - Allows you to use Loki's small object allocator as a
memory handling policy for STL containers.

Checker - Provides a mechanism to enforce the design-by-contract idiom
in C++. It also provides a way to document/prove the exception safety
level provided by each function.

CheckReturn- Use this to enforce code to check the return value of
functions.

LevelMutex - This wraps both PThread's and Window's mutexes to provide
an exception-safe and deadlock-free mutex for multithreaded software.

SafeBits - Provides a compile-time way to enforce type-safety for
bitfields and boolean flags.


As with earlier releases, Loki developers wrote extensive test case
coverage for each component to insure their robustness and
correctness.


Please download Loki 0.1.7 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/loki-lib/

Cheers,

Rich
