All releases of ferite
Release Notes: A threading issue that caused the engine to crash with a memory issue was fixed along with problems with RMI and a lack of parsing of arguments within function calls and starvation of network sockets within the server environment. A problem where arrays would cause objects to have an inflated refcount and cause scripts to not delete objects within the GC was fixed. Reference counting issues within the assignment of objects were fixed.
Release Notes: This release fixes a problem with exception handling.
Release Notes: protocols, closures, static constructors, and destructors on classes have been added to the language. Regular expressions are now dealt with using a more powerful API rather than held within the language. A set of tools has been shipped with the release: farm, a sane build system for binaries and libraries; manual-builder, a sane XML to PDF/HTML documentation system; and feritedoc, a sane tool for generating source code documentation.
Release Notes: This release includes engine optimisation, so that scripts now run 3 to 12 times faster than before. There is much more documentation including a scripting API, a ferite C API and a developer's guide. Language additions include single line functions, ( foo ? bar1 : bar0 ) conditionals, a foreach() operator, and function/method overloading. There was major module work including sys, string, array, reflection, thread, xml, and rmi (remote method invocation). Sys changes include IPV6 support, UDP, and Unix domain socket support. Feritedoc is now insanely fast. There were also major bugfixes in the compiler.
Release Notes: This is the first release in 6 months, and as such has a lot of changes and improvements, including a new module sub-system, new array sub-system, Cygwin support, documentation (both a manual and API documentation), new modules including a complete stream layer and multi-threading capabilities from within scripts, cleaner syntax, more examples, hundreds of bugfixes, and much more.
Release Notes: A cleaner and better native side API was implemented. Builder enhancements were made. A new library loader system was added. New modules for ipc, reflection, and speech were added. The file, string, and system modules were improved. Language enhancements include array initializers, a switch statement, and the ability to assign initial values to global, class, and namespace variables. ANSI C clean-ups were made, and a number of critical bugs were fixed within the compiler and the executor. Hundreds of other little fixes were made. Darwin/MacOS X is supported out of the box.
Release Notes: This release has more documentation and examples, variable argument lists, autoload methods in classes, runtime script inclusion, a cleaner build system, memory leak fixes ,and a few other bugfixes. It is strongly recommended that users upgrade.
Release Notes: Hexadecimal numbers have been added to the compiler, The operators left and right shift, bitwise or, and and xor have been added, as well as unary '+' and '-' operators. This release has much better support for Solaris and other unices, a regex /e modfier, additions to the builder application to allow for better modules, more documentation (and converted to SGML), and cleaner C / Macro namespace to avoid conflicts with applications. Some existing operators have been cleaned up.
Release Notes: BSD Fixes, Builder application enhancements, static members, and various other bits of fun.
