OWLNext 64-bit Edition - status and plans
Posted 3 months ago by Vidar Hasfjord
As we have come to realise that users are using our preliminary and brittle 64-bit support in production code, we have now increased our pace on the road to version 6.40; the first true 64-bit edition of OWLNext.

As mentioned in a recent ... [More] news item about our roadmap, the upcoming intermediate release 6.34 will add further preliminary support for 64-bit. In particular, it will have important patches to the old dispatch machinery that will improve type-safety and 64-bit compatibility. 6.34 will however be the last version based on this messy machinery. OWLNext 6.40 will be based on a thorough overhaul of the dispatchers, making the code C++ conformant, safer, and simpler to comprehend and maintain.

For more information about the overhaul, see the discussion for [feature-requests:#6].

If all goes to plan, 6.34 Beta will be released later this month, and 6.40 Beta is currently scheduled for mid-year. A Developer Preview for the overhauled dispatchers will be released as soon as possible. [Less]

Good old 6.30 retires
Posted 4 months ago by Vidar Hasfjord
We have now decided to end active support for version 6.30. The main reason we still supported this version was that early releases of 6.32 had problems with the OWL5_COMPAT build mode. This is not an issue any more, and we therefore no longer ... [More] recommend 6.30 as a stepping stone. Our advice is now that all users should upgrade to the latest 6.32 release. [Less]

Roadmap refresh
Posted 4 months ago by Vidar Hasfjord
Good news! OWLNext now compiles with the new 64-bit C++Builder compiler (BCC64). We will release preliminary support for this compiler in the upcoming 6.34 release. Full support for 64-bit targets is planned for 6.40. The 6.34 release will fix the ... [More] exception transport issue as well (see [bugs:#230]).

Also, OWLNext 7 is now in the early stages of planning. We envisage version 7 to be a comprehensive overhaul and modernisation of the library. While the 6-series focuses on compatibility with legacy code, version 7 will require a certain amount of adaptation of OWL 5 and OWLNext 6 code, and will require compilers with C++11 support.

See our updated roadmap. [Less]

OWLNext Popularity Update discussion
Posted 4 months ago by Vidar Hasfjord
January has passed, and 6.32.5 has set a new record with 128 downloads for the month. This just beat the old shared record for 6.32.4 and 6.30.10 at 126 downloads/month. Note that the new record is mostly explained by the fact that the release ...
