new release of ex-harlequin compiler


Hi,

I would like to make a new release of the former harlequin compiler this
week (after merging the bigger part of branches/opendylan-melange back
to the trunk) if no one has any objections (show stoppers, local changes
which are important, etc.).

We had a lengthy name discussion back in May, but I don't see obvious
results how the compiler should be named. If anyone can enlighten me,
please do.

I started a wiki page which currently contains some changes from beta 4
to beta 5, please take a look and add changes which are missing:
http://wiki.opendylan.org/wiki/view.dsp?title=Open%20Dylan%201.0%20Beta%205

I'll hopefully be able to do the linux and freebsd tarballs as well as
the windows installer. Of course people who want to do packages (debian,
ubuntu, you name it) are welcome. Eric Gouriou volunteered for the mac
os X packages (and Dustin Voss will provide the tarballs as far as I can
see).

Happy hacking,

Hannes

From the wiki:
  gtk-duim with type-safe gtk binding

Does this also mean the listener (the playground project) is
build-able under gtk-duim?

Thanks,

Matt

Unfortunately, the interactor requires not only GUI support, but also
working debugger support on the platform.  So the answer is no.

I'd just like to reiterate my preference for the status quo.

Why do you prefer the status quo?

I have a real problem with "Open Dylan" for two reasons:

1. I think it's too general a name for a specific implementation. But  
that's a matter of taste.

2. I think it's too specific a name for the domain, if it refers to  
only one of the implementations. I think this is potentially  
misleading, rather than a matter of preference.
