R7B Open Source Erlang available for download

[Kent Boortz]

The final release R7B of the Open Source Erlang is now available for
download from "http://www.erlang.org/download.html".

A short summary of changes since R6

  - The bit syntax, a language addition which can be used to construct
    binaries and to match binary patterns.

  - The new CORBA services cosNotification and cosTime. 

  - The new very capable cross reference tool Xref. 

  - The new application Comet which makes it possible to call COM
    objects from Erlang on the Windows platform.

  - A new interoperability guide whose purpose is to give the reader
    an orientation of the different interoperability mechanisms that
    can be used when integrating a program written in Erlang with a
    program written in another programming language, from the Erlang
    programmer's point of view.

Thank you all for the feedback given on the beta release. Some of your
suggested changes may not have made it into the R7B release. They may
be included in the next patch,
