Dear Maude Abusers, A new alpha release can be accessed at SRI in ~eker/public_html/Maude/Alpha63b/ or downloaded from http://www.csl.sri.com/~eker/Maude/Alpha63b/ Currently only linux is supported. There are 4 changes from Alpha63a: (1) A bug reported by Paco which caused condition fragment trace information to be printed if the interpreter was processing a condition fragment at the instant a ^C interrupt was received is fixed. (2) A bug reported by Paco where an internal error can arise from repeated sequence of (a) rewriting in a module with t1 := t2 type condition fragments and (b) rentering (replacing) the module is fixed. (3) Loop mode now omits spaces around tokens ( , ) { } [ ] The Qids '\( '\, '\) '\{ '\} '\[ '\] provide the old behavior when printed in loop mode. This change was requested by Jose. (4) The module META-TERM now contains the sorts GroundTerm and GroundTermList with appropriate subsorting and operator declarations. This change was requested by Jose. Steven
