Fun4J Readme

Welcome to the 1.1 release of fun4j!

fun4j brings functional programming to the JVM. 
It's a framework that integrates major concepts from functional programming into the Java Platform. 
It also provides seamless integration of Java with Lisp coding, by using a lisp-to-bytecode compiler.

There's still one failing unit test regarding mutual recursion with higher-order lambdas.

202	08.04.11 18:01	1	thma	Fix: using the Fun4J compiler in Eclipse plugins resulted in ClassNotFound Exceptions. This could be fixed by setting the proper ClassLoader hierarchy in the the public noarg constructor of the Compiler class.
201	08.04.11 17:53	1	thma	Refactoring: Repl ist no longer required to extend ClassLoader
200	08.04.11 17:52	7	thma	Improvement: All functions of the package o.f.functions are now automatically loaded into the Runtime environment on startup. SO new functions can be added to this package and will be automatically available by lookup from the lisp environment.

List of changes since release 0.9.1
188	27.12.10 10:34	1	thma	FIX: Compiler maintains uniqueness of compiled class names.
187	23.12.10 18:41	6	thma	FIX: Compiler maintains uniqueness of compiled class names.

183	20.09.10 18:08	14	thma	Refactoring: extract pre-compiler to a separate class. Now the Compiler doesn't know anything about LISP but only about AST Expressions. This way it can easily used by users to compile their own functional languages.

171	08.09.10 21:21	1	thma	TODO: added some examples for things that should be working asap:  - mutual recursion (quick fix would be to allow deferred lookup of function definitions, i.e dynamic scoping.) - proper handling of closures
