Eaton Vance Management is examining web development tools, including
BRL, that it uses in various projects. There is interest in the
adoption of BRL outside Eaton Vance. We have page view and download
statistics, but stories of production use in commercial or
non-commercial environments would be helpful. If you are using BRL for
any purpose, please send at least a quick note to
brl-users/lists.sourceforge.net or brlewis/users.sourceforge.net
(change the / to an @).

BRL 2.1.25 released 2000-04-30

	* Code has been added to support file/line information in
	stack traces to ease debugging.  The kawa-brl distribution on
	sourceforge supports this, as will future Kawa releases.

	* BRL source now compiles against CVS versions of Kawa later
	than 1.6.70.

	* The mail function now returns a better error message when
	given a recipient list that is not a list.

	* The brl-msft-escape function now handles a larger set of
	nonstandard characters.

	* Servlet "session" variables are now supported if the servlet
	engine supports them.  (JServ does not).

BRL is a language designed for server-side WWW-based applications,
particularly database applications. It is based on Scheme, which makes
the syntax extremely simple yet powerful. This implementation is a
Java Servlet using the Kawa Scheme compiler.  For more information see
