1. Release Candidates: DOS/WIN and Linux
I now have two new release candidates for 3.0.2:
DOS/WIN:

Linux:

Hopefully I can do FreeBSD in a day or two,
and then make everything official for 3.0.2.

I look forward to trying out 3.0.2 on Linux. I recently got Debian running again
on my machine and hopefully within the next month or so I can download and
install the Great Computer Language Shootout CVS stuff and figure out how to
compare the benchmarks against the latest Euphoria as well as against 2.4.
It's US Tax season right now, though, and I've been really slow at getting this
project going. But I'm closer! I promise!

Thanks to Robert Craig and Matt Lewis for the prompt response to my compilation
problems. Those routines from the latest download of 3.0.2 now compile without
errors on my system.
May I make a suggestion here. I'm getting confused about which version is which
with these downloads. Could you use a numbering system for release candidates,
perhaps like the Linux distros use.
e.g. euphoria_3.0.2_rc2.tar
or euphoria302rc2.tar

Yes, I agree -- please include the whole version number in the name of the
download file -- and if it is not an official release then add something like
above "rc2" as well. It gets confusing, plus you don't necessarily want to
overwrite your old versions, etc. (Firefox is also really bad about downloading
the new version of a file with the same name -- it just gives you the old one out
of your cache.)

OK, I'll do that from now on.
In general, I don't like to add the 3rd digit in too many
places, because I'm likely to forget to change it,
causing confusion, but I guess it's important
in the name of the installation file.
