Swarm 2.2: Our new stable release

Swarm Development Group announces the release of Swarm 2.2 as the new stable release. The many development snapshots have been consolidated into a single set of code for all the available platforms. Thanks to Marcus Daniels for preparing the release, and all of you who have helped develop and test snapshots on various platforms.

  • Source code, plus binaries for Windows, Fedora, and Mac OS X are available at the stable release page.
  • See the documentation page for the Swarm 2.2 documentation set.
  • Example applications are being updated and maintained by Paul Johnson. These currently include well-known models such as heatbugs, mousetrap, the Swarm tutorial, arborgames, schelling2, and Conway's game of life. These are currently on the CVS site at Swarm's development home at Savannah: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/swarm/

Not all aspects of the release are completely settled down and we expect some minor changes in how it is distributed for specific platforms. Here is what you can do:

  • If you identify problems, post them to the Swarm support email list, and (better yet) try to find solutions and post those, too.
  • If you develop binary distributions for new platforms, etc., post them and an announcement on this wiki. (We encourage users to add things to this site! It's easy.)
  • Buy an SDG membership so maintenance and development of Swarm can continue.

SDG membership

Development of Swarm 2.2 was largely a volunteer effort (by Marcus Daniels, Paul Johnson, Bill Northcott, and many others), but its packaging as a stable release was paid for by Swarm Development Group membership fees. Memberships are the primary resource we have for future maintenance and development.

  • Include a group or institutional membership fee in your project budget. Your proposal will not be rejected because you include an SDG membership as software support or license; instead, it will make you look smart and sophisticated. (This is how the release of 2.2 was funded.)
  • Low-cost memberships are available for individuals and low-budget projects.
  • See the SDG contact page for information.

SwarmFest 2005

  • Pietro Terna announces that the first SwarmFest2005 page is on line.
