Avanti Nova version 0.3.1 has been released.  Go to http://www.avantilibrarysystems.com for download and documentation.  This version further develops object sets by adding a command to find the intersection of two sets.  It also introduces two system sets:  {everything} is an immutable set that contains all objects in a Novaspace.  {current} contains all objects added to a Novaspace since its last reset to null.  More about how sets can be used will be forthcoming.

Next steps:  In an upcoming version, as Nova evolves from prototype to something practical, a new core will be included that interfaces a real DBMS, either MySQL or an embedded database solution.
