ConceptBase v.5

From Manfred.Jeusfeld@kub.nl Wed Feb 18 19:14 MET 1998 Dear member of the CB-Forum, thanks to the efforts of Christoph Quix and the others in the CB development team, I have the pleasure to announce the first public beta release of ConceptBase V5.0 being available on the CB-Forum. You will find it in the folder CB-Forum / Software / ConceptBase 5.0 (First Public Beta) The installation is similar for the previous version. However, there is now only a single Tar-File (containing both the SPARC and the INTEL versions) that you have to download. Besides this, you would need to download the file CB_install, which is the installation script. Further instructions are in the file InstallationGuide In case you are interested in trying out this beta version, you will have to register. The registration form is in the folder as well. This beta release of ConceptBase has already undergone considerable internal testing. Thus, we expect it to be pretty stable. You would not be able to access directly object bases that you have created with CB 4.1. Instead, you would have to save the old object base as Telos frames (save model) and then load it into CB 5.0. It is in principle possible to have CB 4.1 and CB 5.0 coexist. Just provide double entries in your .cshrc file. Here is how I did it: # setenv CB_HOME /home/jeusfeld/CB41/ setenv CB_HOME /home/jeusfeld/CB50beta/ Whenever you switch, you have to execute % source .cshrc or start a new C Shell (csh) with the updated .cshrc file. We would be very happy if you could give us feedback on the new release esp. on errors. You should experience a much better query processing performance with this release. Kind greetings, .-- Manfred Jeusfeld </body>
