Status: RO
Version 2.1 of Jcon, a Java-based implementation of Icon, is now
available for free downloading from
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/jcon/
Version 2.1 includes minor feature additions, documentation edits,
and bug fixes. Changes include the following:
* A directory can be read by opening it as a file.
* JPEG images can be written under Java 2 implementations.
* Java class files can be bundled with a Jcon program for easier
dynamic loading.
* The runtime system can be bundled with a Jcon program to make
it completely self-contained.
* Large integers now work with to-by, seq(), limitation (e1 \ e2),
and exponentiation (e1 ^ e2).
* A zero increment value is diagnosed by seq().
* &host no longer spawns a shell invocation of the "uname" utility.
* The runtime package name has been changed from "rts" to "jcon".
All programs must be recompiled.
The release notes can be viewed at
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/jcon/doc/relnotes.htm
A compiled version of the current (9.3.2) Icon Program Library
for Jcon 2.1 is also available from the Jcon web page.
