kite-llvm 0.2.0 released

Written by Mooneer Salem on Wednesday 26th of December, 2012 in Releases

kite–llvm 0.2.0 has been released.

Changes from 0.1.0:

  • Now uses the same Flex/Bison based parser that non–LLVM Kite uses, significantly improving compile time. 100% of Kite syntax can now be parsed as well.
  • Added string|format to the standard library.
  • kdoc (System.doc) support and prerequisite System.object methods now fully functional.
  • eval statement now supported (e.g. eval “1|print;”).
  • Code versioning support from non–LLVM Kite is now active.
  • Fixed compile errors on some systems.

kite-llvm 0.1.0 released

Written by Mooneer Salem on Saturday 8th of December, 2012 in Releases

kite–llvm 0.1.0 has now been released. This is a very preliminary early version of the kite–llvm code base and will probably have lots of bugs.

What kite–llvm currently supports:

  • The vast majority of Kite syntax.
  • Most of the Kite standard library (see here for a reference).
  • An interactive REPL (ikt).
  • The ability to auto–attach a gdb session to your application on an unhandled exception and view stack traces, etc.

What kite–llvm does not support right now (not an exhaustive list):

  • kdoc (code syntax and the System.doc namespace).
  • The interface.* namespaces in the standard library.
  • File versioning.

1.0.1 released

Written by Mooneer Salem on Sunday 8th of February, 2009 in Releases

Kite 1.0.1 has been released.

New in this release:

  • -Werror removed from default compile flags due to problems with compiles on some versions of GCC.
  • Boehm GC now "required" to compile Kite. If one desires, --without-gc can be passed in to use the built-in reference count system instead.
  • microregex: fixed captures issue.
  • list behavior modifications: |append and op+ create new lists instead of modifying current list (and << modifies existing list) [patch and request by Michael Edgar]
  • Classes added to base distribution: System.array, interface.pop3, interface.smtp, System.date.hires, System.digest (credit: Michael Edgar)
  • list|sort method added (credit: Michael Edgar)
  • Regular expressions can now be specified with r/.../[i] syntax instead of explicitly creating a System.regex object.
  • Fixed infinite loop issue with empty delimiter in String.split.
  • Added support for strings using single quotes.
  • Added hex, octal and binary representations of numbers to Kite syntax, and liberalized the representation of floating-point numbers.
  • Sockets now support timeouts. [patch and request by Michael Edgar]
