[Gbbopen-list] GBBopen 0.9.6

[Dan Corkill]

GBBopen version 0.9.6 will be released later today (Wednesday, June
13th).  The main motivation for the version increment is a rewrite of
the uniform-buckets storage machinery and how it interacts with
with-changing-dimension-values.  This work has been "on the development
queue" for some time, but was escalated by the application needs of one
particular GBBopen user (you know who you are!!!) :-)  Yes, the
Project's development priorities can be changed (if one just asks
politely...).

The only visible differences in 0.9.6 are the removal of the deprecated
accessors instance-space-instances and instance-name (which had been
retained for backward compatibility in 0.9.5).  Applications should now
be using space-instances-of and instance-name-of rather than those old
accessors.

Version 0.9.6 will also mark the initiation of work on a comprehensive
regression-test suite for GBBopen (one that goes beyond the basic
:gbbopen-test module).  This task is one where volunteers can certainly
contribute to the GBBopen community.  If you would like to help with
this effort, let us know at volunteer at GBBopen.org!
