Release June 1996: 2.0 (Cosy-8.0)

This is version 2.0 (CoSy-8.0). Up to now only has been available within CoSy. This version contains a major extension of . Several very important new features are introduced:

• There is an AST/standalone working mode (additionally to the CoSy-fSDL-mode). AST data specifications (instead of fSDL) are supported. The user can introduce set/graph fields with REFINE specifications. AST data specification modules are supported.
• Flat C is generated, together with sol library accesses. Sol functors can be used.
• External functions can be declared and used as predicates.
• Join code generation mode is now main mode. On-The-Fly only on option.
• View rules are supported (only alpha-tested).
• There is a new code generation mode element-test-join which is generated in certain situations. It should often be faster.

Bug fixes:

• Target lines work now everywhere in a rule.
• File names in error messages should be correct now.
