[q-lang-users] ANN: Q 7.7 has been released

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

The subject line says it all. :) Again thanks to all who have
contributed to this release. Here's the text of the official announcement:

At long last, version 7.7 of Q, the equational programming language, has
been released. Besides a lot of bugfixes, this release sports quite a
few notable changes, mostly in response to various discussions,
suggestions and feature requests from the Q mailing list. The most
important changes are user-defined operator symbols consisting of
multiple punctuation symbols, conditions and local definitions which can
be shared among different equations, and a full implementation of
Wadler-style "views" a.k.a. concrete algebraic representations of
abstract data types, which extends and supersedes the "custom unparsing"
mechanism already available in previous releases. Moreover, the core
package has been cleaned up and is much leaner now, it also builds much
faster and 'make distcheck' finally works.

This release also goes along with quite a few updates of the addon
modules. All the latest stuff is contained in the 7.7 "all-in-one"
package (available, as usual, in both RPM and MSI format), which now
also includes the latest and greatest version of Rob Hubbard's
polynomial library "Q[i][X]".
