20090202 Release Notes

The goal for this release was to increase the number of versions available of existing systems in anticipation of studies about software evolution. There are no new systems, but there are 141 new versions of 11 systems, giving a total of 400 versions overall of 100 systems, with 23 systems having more than one version. While some of the added versions were newer than what was already in the corpus, most were older.

There were also some efforts made to improve quality, especially for the metadata.

Terminology change: "Application" --> "System"

After continuing to encounter (quite understandable) confusion as to what we mean by application (of the form "So you don't include libraries like jgraph in your corpus?") we have decided to change our terminology. All the documentation has (or should have) been changed to reflect this, but the corpus will keep the "Applications" directory (as a symbolic link) for the time being.

Change versions

itext-1.4 changed name to itext-1.4.5. In the previous releases, the itext-1.4 bin was actually for 1.4.5, but the source was for 1.4. Since most previous analysis was done on the bin, it was decided to change the name of this release and include the correct version of the source.

Changed properties

Some sourcepackages changed. Mostly this was removing redundance package prefixes but jre (see below) added one, which will affect measurements.

A few urls were added or changed.

Changed install

• quilt-0.6-a-5 changed to reflect change in bin (see below).
• itext-1.4.5 change to reflect change in compressed (see below)

Changed bin

• The quilt-0.6-a-5 bin distribution had multiple .jar files that appeared to be different releases rather than different parts as was first thought. No explanation was found as to why they were all distributed so only the relevant one has been kept. The properties file contains a note regarding a peculiarity regarding its contents.

Changed compressed

For changed version of itext, correct compressed source included and wrong one removed.

Changed docs

Quite a few changes to documentation, including adding new information (such as adding an overview, criteria for inclusion, what distributions are available) changing what the catalogue looks like, and dealing with the change of terminology.

For the web distribution of the corpus, added a file containing assembly instructions.

Other

Now using ISO 8601 as basis for naming releases (mainly this involves adding leading zeros).
