New Features as of version 0.85 Added C++ routines to allow to convert from OpalTables in literal (i.e., text) format to Tabs. The OpalReader class and support routines are in opalutils.h: -ReadTabFromOpalfile Added C++ routines to write Tab files as Opaltables. The main routine in opalprint.h: -prettyPrintOpal(Val&v, ostream& os) Added some new test utilities to convert to/from Opaltables/Tab. -opal2dict: convert from text file with Opaltable to text file of Python dictionary -dict2opal: convert from text file containg Python Dictionary (Tab) to text file with an Opaltable Updated to opencontainers 1.5.4. New bugs and feature fixes: -Fixed a bug where very large integers would truncate to 0 when reading from literals (files or strings). -Floating point quantities will always output a decimal point when printed as a literal so you can differentiate between '1' and '1.0' (as an int_4 and real_8 respectively) when looking at input strings/files. -Added the ability of Tabs and Arrs to have an extra , when specifying literals (instead of a syntax error) Updated the X-Midas ptools option tree to contain opencontainers 1.5.4, as well as adding the new Python<->OpalTable libraries.
