We're pleased to announce that X10 and X10DT 2.4.1 are now available for download at http://x10-lang.org/releases/x10-release-241.

This release of X10 contains two major new features:

• a technology preview of Resilient X10. Resilient X10 enhances the X10 language and implementation with the ability to detect and tolerate Place failures.
• Support for multi-place execution of Managed X10 on Windows using a new pure-Java implementation of the x10rt network layer.

We're very excited to announce that X10 and X10DT 2.4.0 are now available for download at http://x10-lang.org/releases/x10-release-240.

X10 v2.4 is a major revision of the X10 programming language that significantly improves the ability of the X10 programmer to exploit the expanded memory capabilities of modern computer systems. In particular, X10 v2.4 includes an extensive redesign of arrays and a change of the default type of unqualified integral literals (e.g. 2) from Int to Long. Taken together these two changes enable natural exploitation of large memories via 64-bit addressing and Long-based indexing of arrays and similar data structures.

We're very happy to announce that X10 and X10DT version 2.0.0 are now
available for download. This is the first release of version 2.0 of the X10
language. There have been several major language changes from X10 1.7 to
2.0:

++ We have added structs to the language. Structs provide a mechanism
for defining headerless inlined aggregates. For an example of a
struct, see x10.lang.Complex.
++ We have added the ability to declare val instance fields and instance
methods of a class to be global. This means that the fields/methods
can be accessed/invoked at any place.
++ We have eliminated Values from the language. The combination of
structs and global fields/methods cover all of the use cases for
Values.
++ We have added static place type checking.
++ We have added unsigned integral types.... read more
