he Eiffel Compiler/Interpreter tecomp version 0.4 has been released for unix and windows systems.
Version 0.4 makes void safety, attached/detachable types, void tests and object tests available. Furthermore old expressions are fully supported as well.
With version 0.4 tecomp is again one step closer in implementing full standard Eiffel. Version 1.0 (Standard Eiffel compliance) will be reached by the end of the year. In the meantime one release per month can be expected (releases up to now: june: 0.1.1, 0.1.2; july: 0.2; august: 0.3; september: 0.4).
Checkout the new version 0.4 and try it. It is fun to program in a clean object oriented language like Eiffel. Because tecomp runs the Eiffel code in its virtual machine the edit-compile-run cycle is very fast. From a user point of view tecomp works like an interpreter.
The tutorial has been updated as well to reflect to new implemented features.
