Converting all APLTree projects to GitHub

Attention: since 2018-01 we are in the process of converting all APLTree projects to GitHub!

Once a project is converted the description as well as the project page will be marked as archived on the APL wiki, and the links will be removed from this page.

Note however that the page http://download.aplwiki.com will be supported for the time being.

All APLTree projects have been available on GitHub for quite a while, but only in the sense that a workspace was available with everything that belonged to the project. That was the extend of it.

Now we are using GitHub actively for all development, and we take full advantage of all the GitHub features: the project-specific wiki, the issue tracker and the release management tools.

If you are interested in a certain tool then we strongly recommend subscribing to that project on GitHub. As soon as all projects will be converted to GitHub we will stop using Twitter for announcing releases etc.

It's easy to work out which projects have been converted: they have "n/a" in the column "History".

All downloads are available at http://download.aplwiki.com

Platform dependency

Until August 2016 the APLTree project was pretty much a Windows-only project. That has changed now.

Show the details

We aim to make as many APLTree sub-projects as possible available for all platforms Dyalog is officially supporting except AIX and the PI. This was a major project but it was eased by the fact that Dyalog introduced system functions into version 15.0 that made the job much easier.

However, since we also tried to make sure that every APLTree project runs at least with the oldest supported version of Dyalog (14.0 at the time of writing) we had a dilemma here: we need 15.0 for a platform independent strategy.

Therefore it was decided to make a split: what was the current version of any APLTree project when we started to make the APLTree platform independent is available from http://download.aplwiki.com/Prior15.0. Naturally these versions are no longer actively supported, although we will continue to fix serious bugs for quite a while.

On http://download.aplwiki.com we will provide only versions of the APLTree project that are either truly platform independent or are bound to a particular platform by definition; examples are WinSys and ShowChmHelp.

For more details see APLTreeGoesMultiPlatform.

Overview

  • APLTree is supposed to offer scripts (class scripts and namespace scripts) as well as full-blown applications for every-day-problems programmers typically come across.

  • APLTree is an Open Source project with an extremely relaxed license - see AplTreeLicensing for details.

  • Sub-projects of APLTree should follow certain suggestions - see AplTreeSuggestions for details.

  • For more information about the APLTree project see AplTreeDetails.

  • News regarding the APLTree project is announced on Twitter; just search for "aplwiki" for projects that have not been converted yet to GitHub or "aplteam" otherwise.

Utilities

Note that projects that have not yet been converted to GitHub have a link to their project space on the APL wiki but no link to GitHub. For projects that have been converted the exact opposite holds true because the history is then part of it being a GitHub repository.
