Soylent - Progress Report - Week 9

[Sven Pfaller <sven pfaller googlemail com>]

Hi GSocers!

Time for a new progress report. As always you can also read it on my 
blog [1] if you like.
What happened since the last release? It has been a productive week for 
libsoylent.
Attributes are implemented. That means adding and removing attributes to 
/ from people as well as modifying them works. With that come 
attribute-handlers. That’s basically a system which provides a way to 
convert runtime-types to libsoylent-system-types, so you can use 
arbitrary types like C-structs as attributes (for more information on 
that see the libsoylent API-draft). Furthermore storing and loading 
people (and attributes) works. Also the SVN trunk now contains some 
documentation and a bit of example-code.
Some important things are still on the TODO-list: some bugs have found 
their way into the code and want to be removed soon. Signals are not 
implemented at the moment, so libsoylent won’t notify you if some person 
was added or modified or something like-wise. And of course some more 
documentation and example-code wouldn’t hurt.
So, when will libsoylent be usable? The answer is: soon! Perhaps with 
the next release, coming in one week? ;)
See you all
- Sven
