- <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=126719">Overflow
- 0.6.0 have just been released.</a><b></b><b></b>
- <p>We're pleased to announce the release of Overflow 0.6.0. Overflow
- is a free (GPL/LGPL) "data flow oriented" development environment. It can
- be use to build complex applications by combining small, reusable building
- blocks. In some way, it has similarities with Simulink and LabView, although
- it is not designed (and far) to be a "clone" of any of them. Download it
- from sourceforge here.
- <br>It is written in C++ and features a plugin mechanism that allows plugins/toolboxes
- to be easiliy added. Overflow currently includes the following toolboxes:
- <p>- Audio/Signal processing
- <br>- Speech processing (part of the Open Mind Speech project)
- <br>- Vector quantization
- <br>- Neural network
- <br>- Fuzzy logic
- <br>- Real-time audio effect processing (early stage)
- <br>- Linear algebra using LAPACK (early stage)
- <br>- Image processing (early stage)<b></b>
- <p><b><font color="#000000">This release brings a number of important improvements:</font></b>
- <p>- Many, many improvements to the gnome GUI (copy/paste, tooltips, bug
- fix, ...)
- <br>- C++ code generator (generated code can now be compiled on Win32)
- <br>- Basic networking support
- <br>- Improved debugging
- <br>- Speed improvements (also, auto-detection of 3DNow! and SSE)
- <br>- Overflow "shell scripts" (#! files)
- <br>- Lots of fixed bugs
- <br>- Big code cleanup and simplification (warning, this breaks some minor
- things)
- <p>There are also good news for the project. Overflow has been adopted
- by InfoSpace Speech Solutions for implementing part of a speech recognition
- engine and should ship in a future version of the product. Note that Jean-Marc
- Valin (project admin) works for <a href="http://www.locusdialogue.com">InfoSpace
- / LocusDialog</a>.
- <br>Overflow is now also used in the <a href="http://www.gel.usherb.ca/laborius">LABORIUS mobile
- robotics lab at University of Sherbrooke</a> and a robot control toolbox
- is soon to be released!
- <p>There is now an <a href="http://sourceforge.net/survey/survey.php?group_id=590&survey_id=11967">on-line
- survey on SourceForge</a>. Tell us what you think about Overflow!

- <br> - Major improvements to object ASCII I/O, mostly
- with the Vector type
- <br> - Default FFT implementation when FFTW is not available
- <br> - Possibility of passing any object type as a parameter
- from the GUI
- <br> - gcc 2.96-RH support
- <br> - Performance improvements
- <br> - Fixes for <a href="http://bioinformatics.org/piper/">Piper</a>
- compatibility
- <br> - Several new nodes
- <p> Issues:
- <p> - It is not clear whether Overflow compiles with
- gcc 3.0 installed in
- <br> the standard (/usr)
- path
- <p><b>May 21st 2001</b>
