SMACK v1.4.1

Release notes:

• cleaned up memory models (removed twodim memory model); also, memory models can now be changed without changing and recompiling SMACK since they are mostly specified as separate SMACK headers

• implemented smackreach script that computes code reachability info using SMACK (thanks to Montgomery Carter)
• updated rise4fun examples (thanks to Arvind Haran)
• implemented a new memory model that allows memory reuse when malloc is invoked
• implemented support for memset and memcpy
• bug fixes

SMACK v1.4.0

Release notes:

• upgraded SMACK to LLVM 3.4
• implemented support for writing Boogie code directly in C programs, which is convenient for modeling (see https://github.com/smackers/smack/wiki#wiki-writing-boogie-code-directly-in-c-programs)
• updated SMACK to be a standalone LLVM tool instead of a pass (thanks to Pantazis Deligiannis)
• support building SMACK with cmake (thanks to Pantazis Deligiannis)
• improved automatic build scripts to deal with mono/Boogie/Corral discrepancies
• bug fixes

SMACK v1.3.1

Release notes:

• Minor fix to make SMACK work on the MacOS Mavericks
