John Murray of George James Software reports:

Serenji is a Windows-based GUI debugger and code editor. It was first released two years ago, and has become very popular. Until now it's only worked on Cache, DSM and MSM.

We've just released the first beta version of Serenji for GT.M 4.2 on x86 Linux. If you're interested in testing this, please let me know
(mailto:johnm@georgejames.com) and I'll email you the 0.5Mb zip file. You'll need to have installed Serenji 2.0.2 on your PC already - that's a 10Mb
download from http://www.georgejames.com/serenji/ with a 30 day free evaluation period.... read more

The V4.2-002 Source is available in the CVS repository.

The production release for V4.2-002 is available for download.

This is the production release for which V4.2-FT14 was the field test release. There are now improved facilities for migration from other M implementations.

V4.2-FT14 is a field test release that is now available for download. This adds Merge, Set $Extract, and, as a migration aid, the ability to Goto $ZTRAP if the attempt to Xecute $ZTRAP finds that $ZTRAP is not a legal line of M.

Note, this is a field test release, and has not yet passed all regression tests.

The new GT.M web site at Sanchez is finally live at http://www.sanchez-gtm.com
