News

07-27-2004: v0-1-9 Release Available here (643kb).

Warning: These are early releases of the Genny toolset that should probably be characterized as Beta level or for some features Alpha level software. Consider yourself warned that you may encounter some errors.

That said, I've been happily using the toolset for the last 12 months or so.

Genny requires Python v2.1 or higher.

Genny has been tested on W2K Professional, Mac OS X, and RedHat Linux v8.0, and Sun Solaris 8.   (It should run on any platform that supports python v2.1 or higher.)
