Hi Kent,

Welcome back! Glad to hear that you and your right arm are reconnected :)

Not much has changed in the core functions. There will shortly be left and right bit rotation operators. <<<   >>>.

I pulled operator overloading,  mainly because operators are a 'leaky abstraction' when applied to high-level types. There were also issues with thread-safety.

I plan to replace the composite thinBasic_Oxygen.dll module with a much smaller module to interface with the standard Oxygen.dll.

Thanks Charles. I learned a lot about the new c++ and the power of using the powerful data containers and algorithms. I also dabbled with python while playing with Blender and the Gimp. Some very interesting and powerful concepts in Python, like Tuples (basically a constant list), the list and then the dictionary( unique key, data ). 

I also played with many different c++ based libraries, but the only one that I found really well done and with the right level of abstraction was SFML.  Some libraries are so abstracted that you have to go through many levels to get to a specific item via OOP.
I looked at code from a project for the Horde 3D graphics engine. They are OOP, but to get around the very long OOP structures, they give a procedural interface to the user. I really liked that concept.

So I am looking forward to coming back to Oxygen with new concepts under my belt and getting back to contributing!

I would say that is a good example of taking the time to smell the roses.  :o

The roses were nice John, but nothing beats the fresh smell of oxygen :)
