Finally, I can go back to drawing ponies out on the bridge by the old reservoir... ** FOR THE ADVENTUROUS -- FOR TESTING ODYSSEYS ONLY ** Syck 0.50 is here!! Believe me when I say that this is the most incredible day of your life!! Consider the months I've spent slaving away, rethinking and reshaping our little YAML engine... And today, all the tests passed and I rode my speedboat right through a tunnel, screaming at the top of my lungs. --- The new Syck is much faster than before. The following benchmark illustrates loading and dumping of a 700k file using the Ruby extension. Syck 0.45: real 0m0.271s user 0m0.259s sys 0m0.006s Syck 0.50: real 0m0.094s user 0m0.086s sys 0m0.003s In my testing, it's common to see a 4x speed increase on outputting YAML. Although this release is less stable than Syck 0.45, the core of Syck is fully unit-tested and I am actively working to find and crush memory leaks and segfaults. If you have the means to assist in this work, I'd appreciate any stress testing scripts and stacktraces you can contribute. This release marks the end of major API changes. I don't think anything will change in syck.h until a 1.0 release. This means the focus can be on (1) debugging every corner of the library and (2) ensuring interoperability between the PHP, Python and Ruby extensions. Many thanks to Tim Parkin for all his work on the Pyrex extension. It's coming along great and saving tons of time. Well, good enough. Beaver tales, _why |

Great work _why! Love the new outboard. BTW, Is she 1.1 sea-faring? Thanks, T |
