Objeck Programming Language

Release of the FCGI Web server add-on for Linux. A major bug related to the static initialization of 2D arrays has been fixed. A mjaor bug related to passing functions to JIT compiled code has been fixed. A rarely encountered moderate integer division bug in the VM JIT compiler has been fixed.

This release was primarily focused on bugfixing and tying up loose ends from the 3.0 release. Highlights include the addition of more trigonometric functions (medium), fixes for a bug related to nested floating point calculations which make method calls (medium), use of a version key to ensure that libraries and binaries are compatible with specific versions of the tool chain (new), and a patched debugger which looks for the required magic number in the correct place in order to properly load debug executables (high).

The focus was on completing outstanding features and improving stability. Since v2.0, the following features have been added: full support for class interfaces; relaxed syntax via type inference and inferred method call signature resolution; regular expression support; block scoping of variables; ODBC database support; enhancements and bugfixes to existing class libraries; and increased stability and performance.

This release was focused on bugfixes and a new regex implementation. A new introductory tutorial is available on the project’s Wiki site, as well as a guide on how-to use the command line debugger. The buggy “RegEx” class has been rewritten; expect additional enhancements in the future (major). A bug related to always linking the “String” class for support of non-referenced command line parameters has been addressed. Minor compiler bugs have been fixed for enhanced stability.

This release was focused on bugfixes and basic regex support. Highlights include the following: a compiler fix related to the scoping of inferred variables (major); a fix for a compiler bug related to the management of multiple return statements that all have literal strings (minor); optimized code generation for nested AND/OR expressions (medium); and a basic implementation of a regex pattern matching engine (new).
