10What is SWIG?
11-------------
12
13SWIG is a software development tool that reads C/C++ header files and
14generates the wrapper code needed to make C and C++ code accessible
15from other languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java,
16Scheme (Guile, MzScheme, CHICKEN), Ocaml, Lua, Pike, C#, Modula-3, Octave, R,
17Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI). SWIG can also export its parse
18tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions.  Major applications of
19SWIG include generation of scripting language extension modules, rapid
20prototyping, testing, and user interface development for large C/C++
21systems.

33Release numbers
34---------------
35With SWIG-1.3, we are adopting an odd/even version numbering scheme for
36SWIG.  Odd version numbers (1.3, 1.5, 1.7, etc...) are considered to
37be development releases.  Even numbers (1.4,1.6,1.8) are stable
38releases.  The current 1.3 effort is working to produce a stable 2.0
39release.  A stable 2.0 release will not be made until it can
40accompanied by fully updated documentation.  In the meantime, we will
41continue to make periodic 1.3.x releases.
