[ANN] CoreObject Preview Release

[Quentin Mathé]

Hi everyone,

Eric and I had been hard at work finishing the CoreObject preview release, and 
are happy to announce that it’s finally ready!

Cheers

CoreObject Preview Release
=====================

CoreObject is a version-controlled object database for Objective-C that 
supports powerful undo, semantic merging, and real-time collaborative editing. 
It’s part of the Étoilé project.

Some of the features include:

- a DVCS (focusing on personal version control right now) with branching and 
cheap copying, designed to work with very fine-grained commits (i.e. 
applications where every UI action creates a commit)
- selective undo, based on diff/merge of object graphs (see 
http://coreobject.org/technotes/#diffmerge )
- robust real-time collaborative editing, including sharing of revision 
history, per-user undo, all without  operational transform
- powerful undo system that is persistent (survives app restarts), branching, 
and can record all possible changes to a CoreObject store. You can undo things 
like reverting to past states, switching branches, deleting branches, deleting 
documents, etc.
- automatic, metamodel-driven copying of subsets of an object graph
