Af-Arch is being developed to give GNU/Linux a new middle-ware for building enterprise managing applications, typically database oriented.

Af-Arch is a complete set of libraries and tools which allows to develop distribuited system especially designed to face problems about bussiness applications.

Actually, Af-Arch is really robust and stable, having systems installed on many environments. Af-Arch, at this moment, runs on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows.

AF Architecture's license schema is based on GPL and LGPL, allowing you to develop not only open source applications but also comercial applications without any royalty or fee.

Af-Arch is a strongly documented project, which is proved to work. Af-Arch keeps on evolving and growing its feature list allways keeping in mind productivity.

What's New in This Release:
A new major stable release have come with many interesting features, library dependencies news, new API to make life easy and a bunch of work to make the library to be memory efficient.
Af-Arch no longer depends on GDA library (http://www.gnome-db.org). Now AfGs, server side support for Af-Arch, includes built-in database abstraction support, implemented to fit better with the Af-Arch framework. For more details check the "libafgs" log below.
Af-Arch platform now support three new return types: AfDalNodeData, AfDalStringData and AfDalDecimalData, which allows services to return a module node, a plain string and a decimal value as a result for the invocation.
Af-Arch now support a new formal parameter service AfDalSetOf which implements set of items to be sent while the service is invoked.
af-gen tool now support defining string literals that are separated by "+" sign, making it easy to write long SQL sentences.
af-gen tool now allow to generate type definitions that could extend, making it possible to create a class hierarchy for types to be returned by services.
libafdal core library now implements a better error reporting mechanism which allows to receive all errors generated while performing invocation at the reply process code.
New reserved services have been added: element_peek_reference which allows to get the node associated to a module which is relationed through the 0..1 link.
