hi there,

this is just a little note to let you know that I
finished some important milestone towards the next
release:

synopsis has a new formatter, which I called 'SXR'
in reference to LXR, the 'linux cross referencer'.

SXR is basically just a facade to the HTML formatter,
with some specific settings, such as links from
source views not going to a manual page, but instead
to a cgi script that searches for variable / type
identifiers in a database (a python pickle, mind you).

To see it in action, visit the (just updated)
synopsis website.

Speaking of which, I finally managed to fix the
references to the repository browser (viewcvs).

The sxr online tool is at
http://synopsis.fresco.org/sxr/files/

Everything needed to run sxr is included in the code.
Even a little http server so you can experiment with
it without having to configure your apache demon.

I also made some fixes to the boost documentation
scripts in demo/C++/Boost/ (hi Dave !), so this, too,
can now generate an sxr view (just call 'make sxr'
there...).

The issue tracker will welcome any bugs or RFEs you
run across :-)

Happy browsing,
		Stefan
