JBasic 2.8 has taken longer than expected, but hopefully is worth the wait. Key new features in this release include:
* Socket programming in JBasic. A simple web server example is included.
* Structured table data types, allowing you to write code to handle subsetting, joining, and sorting tables of data quickly.
* A simple macro facility allows creation of program templates.
* New optional syntax for more readable programs.
* And of course, tons of new bug fixes.
The JBasic Binary file folder contains the binary release. Each one is a compressed file containing the java jar that contains all of JBasic, and the user's guide as a PDF document.
The JBasic Source file folder contains the complete source for JBasic, along with useful utility files such as a build.xml for using ant to build the code, etc.
