[q-lang-users] Q 7.6 released

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

Hi everybody,

(cue the music) jingle bells, jingle bells ... :)

Just in time for christmas there's a new bugfix release of the Q core
package. This release fixes a number of issues with temporary files
being created in the wrong directory on Windows, segfaults in custom
unparsing and bugs in the shebang processing. Thanks to Andrew Berg the
sources now also compile cleanly on Mac OSX Tiger. Moreover, the
OpenZaurus feed has finally been updated. There are no new features this
time, but some are in the queue for the 7.7 release; I hope that I can
start working on this after Christmas.

As usual, more information and the downloads can be found at
http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/download.html. The OpenZaurus feed is at
http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/feed/OpenZaurus. The README file there
gives some information on how to get started with Q on the Zaurus.

Taking a look at the news items on http://q-lang.sf.net, I realized that
Q has come quite a long way during this year. Unicode support, improved
special forms, Rob Hubbard's rational and polynomial libraries and the
new numeric tower, John Cowan's Chicken interface, the Pd interface, Q
Yacc and Lex... I have to thank you all for the discussions, bug
reports, patches and contributions. And I wish you nice holidays, a
peaceful christmas and a happy new year!

Cheers,
Albert
