All,
BaCon version 3.7 has just been released and can be obtained from the BaCon website.
Remarkably, the last months showed the lowest density of revealed bugs in the existence of BaCon. Therefore, this is a new major release and contains some exciting features!
Highlights:
One additional note: though syntax changes in BaCon are very rare (only 1 major change in its history), there was another small syntax change in RESIZE to make this statement more consistent with the logic of BaCon.
See the full list of changes for more details (please refresh your browser cache to see the latest).
As usual, thanks to the BaCon forum members for testing and providing feedback. Without them, BaCon would not have achieved its current level of maturity.
Special thanks to forum member vovchik, who endlessly and patiently has been testing the new features.
BaCon releases are made available after testing on several platforms, including Tru64Unix, MacOSX and several flavors of Linux.
Best regards
Peter
