April 2007: JavaLib
Upgraded to version 1.0.1:
A JavaLib user named Pawel reported two problems in
the JVector class that caused compile-time problems.
One problem was a minor syntax issue and the other was
a missing namespace name. Both problems have been fixed
in the library. The JavaLib library's version has been
upgraded to 1.0.1.
January 2007: JavaLib,
A Java-like C++ Open Source Library:
JavaLib is a small library of Java-like classes written
in C++. The size of the library promotes portability
and maintainability by end-users. For the right project,
JavaLib can be quite helpful in providing containers
that are much simpler to use than the STL but provide
all of the power of template programming.

small changes (and some large ones) were made to reflect
the changes in the database and C++ programming industries.
