1. Euphoria 3.0.2 Release Candidate for Windows/DOS
I've put together a new install package, version 3.0.2,
for DOS and Windows. I'd like a few volunteers to check it out,
before I move on to creating the install packages for Linux and
FreeBSD, and updating the RDS website. You can get it here (2Mb):
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/uploads/e30setup.exe
The changes are noted in relnotes.htm (or relnotes.doc).
This release is mainly to fix 2 significant bugs in 3.0.1:
1. Translated code for Windows that uses multitasking was
accidently broken in 3.0.1 (but not 3.0.0).
2. There was a subtle storage allocation bug in the interpreter
(mainly affecting exw.exe) that could bite you in fairly
rare cases, usually involving deep recursion.

Update the version number in the executables (start-up text)...

Sir, did you forget to add this one? Is there a clear, official todo-list?
WIN
Translator Support for MinGW and Pelles C 164K Konstantinos Tampouris Nov 5/06
Support for two more free compilers for Windows: MinGW and Pelles C. Both
compilers can target WinCE, so this support brings Euphoria one step closer to
targeting WinCE too. All 3.0.1 source code changes included. (RDS will look into
adding this code to the official Translator).

Whoops!
At the last minute, I changed the version in the source (global.e),
but I got distracted and forgot to actually recompile/repackage
the .exe's.
OK, That's fixed. I've quickly updated the setup file:

Let me know of any more mistakes.
Thanks!

No I didn't forget. I don't have either of those compilers
installed on my machine. I'm hoping that the author of that code,
or some other interested person, will test that code,
and check it in to SourceForge. The same goes for Alban's Mac port,
Juergen's euphoria.iss improvements, and some other improvements.
I want to get more developers working on this, and not have people
relying on me exclusively. If I add those things myself, I'll probably
be expected to maintain them as well. I'd like to see more developers
step forward. TortoiseSVN is really quite easy to install and use.
I'll eventually have plenty to do just to ensure the quality and
integrity of the overall package.

I tried to install your new set-up.
But I found if I try to put it in F: (which is where I want it) I still get tons
of "Would you like to overwrite the existing file?" [YES] [No]. No [Yes to All].
And my mouse finger got so tired so I closed it down with the task manager.

Something I've been meaning to bring up/do is to reorganize the repository.
I recommend that we reorganize to the standard:
branches/
tags/
trunk/
The svn docs do a pretty good job of explaining why this is a good thing,
but in brief, normal development would happen in the trunk. If someone
wanted to try something experimental, or just something that we didn't want
to affect the trunk, they could copy their stuff into branches, develop
there and merge it back later. The 'tags' directory can be used to save
the code as it was at a certain point in time, such as a release. It'll
make it easier to see what was what at that point.

I would like to point out I found an easy way around this but it should be
included with the installation instructions. That is if one already has Euphoria
install and/or wants to install it in a different directory than C:\Euphoria. He
should:
1.) Change the name of the existing directory to fuphoria.
2.) Copy that directory and rename it buphoria (a back up).
3.) Install the set-up; there should be no conflict because the old Euphoria
directory no longer exists.
4.) Using Windows (and I suppose Linux would work also #1) Drop and drag the new
set-up folder into the fuphoria folder. When it asks "If the same file or folder
exists, replace [Yes] [No] [Yes to All] select [Yes to All].
5.) Rename the fuphoria folder back to euphoria.
One now has the old Euphoria folder with the updates.
In the event that you have changed or added stuff to some of the include files.
You may want to drag and drop the include folder from buphoria folder back into
the euphoria folder using the [Yes to All] feature in Windows. Whew!
#1 As for Linux I never got into it because I could never get the winmodem to
work with Linux. I tried all the help files and discussion groups and nobody seem
to be able to do it. Or tell me how to do it. But that's a topic for another
forum.

winmodems are broken, nasty beasts that should be sent to your nearest "ecycle"
outlet, not now but yesterday ;)) There are plenty of "real" modems still
available (and extra cheap) nowadays that will make it possible for you to
upgrade your system to a Linux distro or a flavor of BSD. Hell even Solaris 10 is
free. The latter OSes require "hardware" modems, as opposed to win-doze centric
"software" modems. Hell, if you're hard-pressed, I'll got a U.S. Robotics 56.K
vI-don't-know-what that I'll give you.

Hello duke,
Thank you for your respone. I now have high speed DSL so winmodem is not a
factor anymore. It uses Ethernet. There was a time when I wanted to get both
Windows and Linux up and running on the same machine. Which I did but everybody
said to buy an external modem to fix this problem. And being a cheap mother I
didn't want to do that. Now I've dumped the Linux stuff and lost interest in the
whole project. I'm not having any problems with Windows.
Again thanks for your offer.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll look into that after I get 3.0.2 finalized.
