This is the first public release for all supported platforms: Windows (x86), Linux (x86), FreeBSD (x86), Mac OS X (ppc and x86). The IDE is still only available on Windows so far, on all other OS only a batch-compiler is working. But we are working on a GTK+ 2.x backend for DUIM. The release was done by the Dylan Maintainers, a group of Dylan users all over the world, communicating via the gd-hackers< at >gwydiondylan.org mailing list as well as via IRC, irc.freenode.net, channel #dylan. Please let us know about any problems you encounter. Open Dylan was formerly known as Functional Developer, formerly known as Harlequin Dylan. The released binaries are available from http://www.opendylan.org/downloads/opendylan/1.0beta4/ Here is a partial list of resolved issues: * The c back end of DFMC works now, and is used on Mac OS X. This eases porting the compiler to various architectures. * 'macroexpand expression' is now working in system and user projects. This can be invoked either via the IDE or via the interactive compiler environment. * SO_REUSEADDR is set on sockets opened, so an application can open a socket which has old connections in use. No need to wait until connections are gone from TIME_WAIT state. This only affects the UNIX OS. * "{complex type}" was shown when a non-class type was used somewhere. This was not very helpful in the IDE as well as in error messages of the compiler. * expiration checks are removed. When developed commercially, all libraries had an expiration date, which is no longer useful because the source is public now. * a primitive stack walker has been implemented for UNIX. This helps to debug Dylan applications, because gdb does not work for them. * streams were not locked, so race conditions were possible. We chose to be better safe than sorry, and all streams are now locked by default. * On linux, __errno_location was used to get the value of errno when a system call failed. This is no longer supported by glibc and led to crashes. * In the IDE all possible restarts were labeled with "Undescribed restart", which was not really useful. This was an initialization problem. * The IDE editor had the problem "#f is not of type {<class>: <basic-line>}" when adding a line to a definition shown in multiple buffers. * The IDE didn't support breakpoints in dependent projects because the list of libraries was not initialized correctly. * IDE: Force links of projects by default * IDE: Fix annoying scrolling bug in deuce. * IDE: Windows can be larger than the size of the primary display. * IDE: Adding and removing elements to list views was broken in a corner case. * IDE: LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT is now used; this enables a user to select any column of a table instead of only the first.

Most of the code had once been developed by a company called Harlequin, for a product called DylanWorks in the beginning, and Harlequin Dylan later. After Harlequin demised, some of the programmers acquired the rights, and kept selling the development environment under the name of Functional Developer. Eventually, to the joy of the Dylan community, they decided to release all of their source code under an open source license. What you can download at http://www.opendylan.org/downloads/opendylan/ is the attempt of a group of enthusiasts calling themselves the "Dylan Hackers" (that's us :) ) to bundle up this code, and publish it in a form useful for the general public. This is release 1.0beta1, the first public release of Open Dylan. Naturally, we expect this release to have bugs. We're interested in getting your feedback, in order to improve this product. Downloads are available for Linux/x86 and Windows.
