[q-lang-users] Q 6.0 released

[<Dr....@t-...>]

(This announcement comes quite late, apologies for that.)

Q 6.0 is out. The major news is that SWIG (http://www.swig.org) is now 
supported, which greatly facilitates interfacing to existing C/C++ code. 
You'll need a custom SWIG version to make this work, available as a 
source tarball from http://q-lang.sf.net at this time. As soon as I have 
the time, I will try to persuade the SWIG developers to include the Q 
language module in the official SWIG version.

Please note that if you use any add-on modules, you'll have to 
recompile/reinstall those as the libq ABI has changed (but is fully 
backward-compatible at the source level). You'll know that you have to 
do this when you cannot load a module (because the libq library version 
has changed, the interpreter now uses libq-6.0.0 and so must your add-on 
modules). The binary packages of all the latest module versions at 
q-lang.sf.net have already been updated.

More information can be found, as usual, at http://q-lang.sf.net

Enjoy!
Albert
