Hi,
RC1 for Q 7.11 is now available in testing:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=188958
(Currently it's just a tarball, but I'll upload SUSE RPMs and Windows
MSI asap.)
Here's what's new in this release:
- As suggested by Rob Hubbard and John Cowan, special Unicode characters
in strings can now be specified using an escape of the form '\&name;',
where name is any of the XML entity names specified here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xml-entity-names-20071214/
- clib now provides a set of additional int/float vector operations, as
suggested by John Cowan on the mailing list a while ago. These allow you
to treat byte strings as mutable C vectors of signed/unsigned 8/16/32
bit integers or float/double values. Operations to convert between such
C vectors and corresponding lists of integers/floating point values are
provided as well.
- The glob and regex functions were moved back from system into clib.
Note that the latter change affects code which does a qualified import
of fnmatch/glob or regex et al, so you should check your scripts for
that. QCalc is the only addon module affected in the distribution, and
I've uploaded a new tarball (qcalc-1.1) for that already.
As usual, please let me know if you find any bugs asap.
Enjoy.
Albert
