Here at Yale, we've had Eiffel 2.1 since last January. We've been waiting
eagerly for the 2.2 version to reach us, since (among other considerations)
it has features I need to start implementing my thesis.
Several weeks ago, we were told that it would ship "in a couple of days".
After two weeks of waiting, we called again and were told that "there were
some last-minute bugs, but they've been fixed and it will ship to you in
a day or two." We have not yet seen hide nor hair of the release.
Has *anyone* out there actually received Eiffel 2.2? Does it live up to its
billing? I seem to remember someone mentioning that they had been getting
stung along by ISE in much the same way that we have been.
I call on someone at ISE to post explaining the real status of Eiffel 2.2,
and to let us know, no b*llsh*t, how stable it is and when it'll probably
ship.
