1. Euphoria 2.5 Official Release
The 2.5 official release is now available.
It has several small enhancements and bug fixes.
It will hopefully prove to be a stable release
that we can live with for a while. If not,
there's always 2.5.1 ... 
Suggestions for the next big release are welcome.
You can read the 2.5 release notes here:

You can download the code here:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/v20.htm
Those who registered or upgraded for the alpha or beta
release can download new (official) versions of the
registered files using the same instructions as before.

Awesome Rob..
You implemented Matt Lewis's callback system in the source.
My own custom interpreter had that.. but now I dont need to implement
it again for the Official source. :)
The 2 new features in the translator are really cool..
The -keep option is a nice.. though before, I just backup the C files
if I needed them afterwords.
The -fastfp is really cool.
If you have like a 80387 Coprocessor (on a 386 machine),
you can use translated/compiled DOS programs. The 2x speed up
is awesome, specially for custom PD source interpreters.
And it would benifit me because I use Open Watcom v1.3
for DOS and Windows.
Thanks :}
Euphoria v2.5 Rocks!!!

YAAAAY!! Thanks Rob! If it wasn't for Euphoria I'd be producing a lot less
programs due to the time it takes to do things in other languages compared to
Euphoria.
One very minor gripe though, when we run e25setup.exe and it creates the backup
directory and one already exists the installer prompts us for EVERY SINGLE FILE
it's overwriting. Now checking to see if the backup should be overwritten is a
good thing but having to hit "OK" for every file takes a lot of time especially
when you keep a lot of includes in your directory.

I want to thank you for Eu 2.5, too.
It's very interesting that you added the time for 'eu in eu' to
"bench.doc":
<quote>
eu in eu 7.15 - PD source Euphoria translated/compiled to eu.exe
erlang 7.16
lua 8.70
pike 10.36
python 14.33
icon 15.12
perl 16.36
[...]
3. If you are looking for an open source language to modify, observe
that even the Public Domain source version of Euphoria,
written 100% in Euphoria, can run twice as fast as Python or Perl
which are both written in C. Which source would you prefer to modify
and debug? Which speed would you like to have for your modified
interpreter?

Awesome!
