The Blog

This is another preview before 0.3.0. We have fixed a handful of bugs and decided to give it another shot.

About 100 svn commits has been made since the last release.

Additions:

• There is Nemerle NAnt task included in the distribution.
• The XSP (ASP.NET) integration has been tested and documented, please refer to wiki page about it.
• We do not support binary installation from tarball -- bootstrap is now always required.

• A Nemerle syntax file genShi has been added to the distribution and is now used in our Wiki for colorizing sources.
• Tests are now run using Nemerle.Compiler.dll as a library -- it is a lot faster.
• We now support Windows style /options.
• New /greedy- option to disable recursive loading of assemblies.
• Yet incomplete support for new(), class() and struct() generic constraints.

Bugfixes:

• The SQL macros should now compile fine.
• We now support creation of delegates from external static functions.
• Installation issues with and without antlr should be now resolved.
• Error message involving types and custom attributes should be better now.
• Quotations in response files are handled properly now.
• Documentation updates.
• Snapshots/SVN now use * as last part of assembly version, which should cure all already-installed-to-the-GAC build problems.
• We treated type[] as a generic type with no arguments. This is fixed now.
