Subject: Re: Current status of SR??
Work on Version 2 of SR has progressed well in recent months, and we will
release a preliminary version in March. This will contain nearly all of the
planned new features and will run on a much wider variety of machines than
Version 1.
New features in Version 2 include shared global variables and operations;
circular imports; real numbers and math functions; formatted I/O; a more
general syntax with fewer special cases; a more robust system with better
error checking; and many other changes.
Version 2 of the SR Language will be documented in the book "The SR Programming
Language: Concurrency in Practice", by Greg Andrews and Ron Olsson, which
is scheduled for publication by Benjamin/Cummings in July of 1992. For the
preliminary release of V2 we will provide notes outlining the new features.
V2, like V1, runs under Unix. An experimental, bare machine version of SR has
been implemented on top of the x-kernel (also distributed by Arizona), but it
is not part of the distribution.
