Euphoria version 2.5 is scheduled for release in October of 2004. It's just a matter of days now.
Version 2.5 will introduce an entirely new front end for the Euphoria interpreter, written using Euphoria. Eu will now be written 30% in Euphoria (front end), and 70% in C (back end). This change will allow RDS to more easily make changes with less production time. As well as a new front-end. RDS has rewritten the Euphoria to C translator in 100% Euphoria code. This should mean that Rapid Deployment Software might actually be able to rapidly deploy new software. Hehe, is that an oxymoron?  Third, RDS is planning to release a version of the Euphoria interpreter written entirely in Euphoria. This version of Eu will be slower than the official interpretter, but will allow the Euphoria community to make their own changes to EU, and to experiment with ideas. The feature that most people are looking forward to though is the $ operator. The $ operator will provide a shorthand way of expressing length(s) in slices. This feature is just syntactic sugar, but will help to make code more readable, hopefully. -------------------- Code is Alchemy

"v2.5 is due in October 2004" - Where did you get this information from?
The new change will be for someone to write a 'better' IL interpreter. -------------------- --

It used to say in the RDS News section, in the What's Next' column. RDS has updated since, now it just says in a few weeks. -------------------- Code is Alchemy

Scooby that information been on the news site for weeks. It first appeared about 3 weeks ago and hasnt been updated. And as of last a few days ago, Rob told me that the code is frozen and being ported to FreeBSD, and that he figures about another 2 or 3 weeks til the alpha release.  |

Ready?
heh I don't use 2.4 yet. I still use 2.3. It is what I have registered and I don't feel 2.4 has enough of what I want to be registered. I have the same attitude towards the changes that are coming forth in 2.5. I don't think it will have any appeal to me. Especially if the installer ... eh. I just don't like the installer. It mucks everything up for me. I have my own settings and they aren't in C:. unkmar |
