Hi,

  I'm glad to announce you the release  of version 1.0 of Program Q (QAIML):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qaiml

This release is including the Charlix project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/charlix).
It's a very advanced aiml set offering several features. One of those
is the 'Bad Answer' feature.
Please refer to its Disclaimer (in http://charlix.sourceforge.net/)

Here are the main new changes:

+ Embedded Charlix project (thanks to Charles chevalier)
+ New tags support (more compliant with AIML 1.0.1)
  + Added support for the system tag (Works only on *nix systems for
the moment)
  + Implemented the input tag (with its index)
  + Support for the learn tag (still experimental but seems to work!)
  + Support for uppercase
+ bot.vars text file is migrated into bot.xml xml file
+ New vars.xml file:
  + loaded at startup
  + Saved back when the AIMLParser class is destroyed (backup file
saved as well)
+ Log file:
  * Message error when an aiml file has not been correctly parsed
  * Highlight warnings when an unknown tag has been parsed
  * Contains system execution trace
+ Copied popup script file along with the QAIML binary (linux
distribution - charlix specific)
+ Added new English contractions ('s,'m, ...) substitutions in the
substitutions.xml file
+ template-side 'that' tag was not supporting the index attribute
+ Limiting the that & input lists to 50 items (to avoid overflow)
+ srai & sr tags were modifying the input & that lists
+ Fixed spaces strategy when parsing xml: A space is automatically
added between 2 sibling non-text xml elements
+ Graph master updated to allow "overwriting" of new categories
+ All the characters are now accepted as the user input

I'm waiting for your feedbacks which were always driving me to enhance
this application.

Regards,
Houssem
