New release: Gobo 3.5

Hello,

The long awaited new release of the Gobo package is now
available from the usual locations:

    http://www.gobosoft.com/
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/gobo-eiffel/

It contains many new libraries and tools since the last release,
among which:

    * An Eiffel library for command-line argument parsing.
    * An XSLT processor entirely written in Eiffel using
      the Gobo Eiffel XML Library.
    * An Eiffel compiler, still under development but already
      able to compile all the Eiffel code contained in the
      Gobo package.

For more details, please read the Readme file and the online
documentation:

    http://www.gobosoft.com/eiffel/gobo/Readme.txt
    http://www.gobosoft.com/eiffel/gobo/index.html

The Gobo package supports most Eiffel compilers:

    * GEC: the Gobo Eiffel compiler, of course.

    * ISE: note that although it has been successfully
      tested with versions 5.7/6.0, I want to boycott
      this version of the compiler in protest against
      ECF and the way ISE introduced it. Therefore
      Gobo 3.5 does not officially support 5.7/6.0.
      Because ECF has also caused many problems to some
      users of Gobo who were not able to switch to ISE 5.7,
      Gobo will still support ISE 5.6 for the time being.

    * SE: only the 1.2 development branch of this compiler
      is supported. SE 2.* is not supported anymore because
      it implements another language than the one supported
      in Gobo.

    * VE: it's probably the last release of Gobo that
      supports Visual Eiffel. The problem is that there
      has been no activity on the VE mailing list and
      SourceForge repository for almost 2 years. This
      is a big issue for Gobo because we cannot use some
      Eiffel constructs implemented for a long time in
      other compilers such as Agents for example which
      are still missing in VE.

Finally, note that following a discussion at NICE a
few months ago, the next version of Gobo will be
released under the MIT license.
