You can download it using this URL:

The changes from the beta release are described in:

      http://members.aol.com/FilesEu/relnotes.htm

and in plain text below. Not many bugs were reported during the
beta test period, so I guess it's pretty solid now. We will
distribute this official release to the large Internet sites, such as
Ziff Davis, Download.com, SimTel and many others. Once
that's complete, I'll be jumping into the Linux port full-time.

Registered users of 2.1 can get the new (free) official release
instructions for the Complete Edition files. Just send me an e-mail
request at:
               rds at attcanada.net

Please include your full name and geographic location for verification.

Remember that anyone who registered for 2.0 (single or dual platform)
on or after July 15, 1998 is eligible to download 2.1 for free.

                             Euphoria Version 2.1
                                 March 29, 1999
                                  Release Notes

* Updates to the trace screen have been optimized. Unnecessary
   refreshes of the source code, and the variables on the trace screen,
   have been eliminated. When a refresh is necessary, it is now slightly
   faster. This makes a noticeable difference in exw.exe, and also in
   ex.exe in pixel-graphics modes. For ex.exe in text modes, it reduces
   screen flicker slightly.

* The install program no longer requires that your PATH be less than
   128 characters. It will simply warn you if it isn't. Newer versions of
    DOS allow for a longer PATH. Thanks to Steve Adams.

* An extra error check was added to unregister_block() in safe.e.
  Thanks to David Guy.

* bug fixed: trace(2) (the rarely-used monochrome display option) in
  exw.exe did not display the variables properly on the trace screen.
  trace(1) (color display) was ok.

* bug fixed: In ex.exe, in some pixel-graphics modes, the trace display
   would leave a thin strip of the main output screen showing at the
   bottom of the trace screen.

* bug fixed: The ed editor would try to execute (Esc e) .ew include files
   using ex.exe It now uses exw.exe. Thanks to "molasses".
