Project – CMake (Release)

It took a little extra time generating the release (it has been a while).  GitHub recommends that the project include both a README and LICENSE file, so these were also added to the project.  GitHub was updated yesterday and all the download files have been uploaded to Sourceforge today.

Since both Windows and Linux natively use different format text files (CRLF vs. newline for line separator), both sets of source files were uploaded.  The Windows download file ibcp_0.1.16‑src.zip is in zip format and the Linux download file ibcp_0.1.16‑src.tar.gz is in tar format compressed with gzip, use the tar xzf <filename> command to uncompress and untar the file with a single command.

The binary download files that were uploaded contain not only the executable program, but also the test input files, expected result files and regression test scripts.  Again the included text files are in the correct file format for the platform.  The Windows binary download also contains a DOS batch file for running the regression tests.  Nothing needs to be installed to run the program and regression tests.
