------ -Status +Design ------

-An alpha release is planned by the end of August 2004. If -you're desparate to use it / help, contact me (blee (at) -thisdomain) for sources. Since Elephant is alpha, claims -about correctness, performance and safety should be taken -with a grain of salt. Eventually it will be portable but is -developed on CMUCL, and tested on Allegro; we're also -targeting OpenMCL, SBCL and Lispworks. +See NOTES.

-We are only part-time hackers and would appreciate any -support we can get, in feedback, testing, and development -help. - -Design: - -* Metaclasses declare CLOS persistence. Store controller -object provides interface to underlying DB. - -* One big BTree. Automatically serialize / deserialize -values. Persistent objects stored by OID. - -* Access to BTrees via hash-table-like Lisp objects. - -* Liveness determined by reachability from a root Btree. - -* Delegate as much as possible to Berkeley DB. +------- +Authors +-------
