1. multitasking progress?
Hey Rob, how's the multitasking version of euphoria coming along? Can we expect
the next release soon? And are there going to be any other changes included?

Multitasking in the official (C-coded backend) interpreter is working,
but not released yet. I'm buried in the translator right now.
There's some tricky ASM code that I have to write. The multitasking API
has not changed from the PD source preview release.
In January, after the "holiday season", I should have a full multitasking
release, but there are lots of other smaller things I want to do
before a major (2.6 or 3.0) release.

Nice.

I'm looking forward to trying it. I wouldn't mind testing out a preview release.

Hi Rob,
Could you give us an idea on some other moderate/mediocre features you're
considering for the next release?
Any of these perhaps? :
* Passing 32 bit integers in t/c DLL/SOs
* Full DOS long file name compliance
* Built-in version() routine
These would really help relieve us from some patchwork libraries.
Regards,
Vincent

Perhaps instead of releasing a half version or a full 2.6, you could
just have two versions of 2.5 available: Version 2.5 and Version 2.5
MT for (Multi-Tasking). Kinda like Windows 2000 -> Windows XP.
Just a thought...

When I get the multitasking just about done, I'll
organize a list of items that I think are probably worth doing,
and people can tell me what they think is most important.
At the moment, I don't want to get distracted from
multitasking and the "holiday season".

That sounds like a great idea! 
Don't forget to take some time off from coding, you wouldn't want to miss out on
all the christmas fun!
