combine 0.3.3

combine 0.3.3 has been released and is now available by FTP from
ftp.gnu.org.

Combine is a utility for joining files according to matches on
one or more key fields. It has additional features for filtering
and transforming data, for accumulating information on all the
records that match another one, and for dealing with data in
recursive hierarchies.

Combine uses Guile scheme for extensibility wherever a user may
want to transform data or filter the process.

The biggest difference from “join” is that the files need not be
sorted by the matching keys. In addition, several files may be
matched at once to a single base file or stream.

Combine is now a GNU package. This is the first release since
combine was so dubbed. Otherwise, the changes from version 0.3.2
are a few changes to help ensure compatibility.

The bug-combine mailing list does not yet exist at gnu.org, so
please send any comments directly to me for the time being.

GNU libmatheval 1.0.2

Version 1.0.2 of GNU libmatheval library for calculating
mathematical expressions is out. New version contains lots of small
fixes that should significantly improve library portability.
