OpenEuphoria.org |
| |
|
June 19, 2007:
We have dropped the domain name "ListFilter.com", used for EUforum,
and replaced it
with "OpenEuphoria.org". This change went through much faster than
we expected, and we are quickly changing all our URLs. Sorry for
any inconvenience! We think the new name will be more appropriate in
the future, since Euphoria is now open source. We do not plan
to drop or change "RapidEuphoria.com".

Linux/FreeBSD version without ncurses |
| |
|
July 17, 2006:
For the next version of Euphoria on Linux/FreeBSD we have
eliminated all dependencies on the ncurses library. We now
have a pre-alpha version of exu that does not use ncurses.
The new interpreters are about 25 to 30 percent smaller, now that
ncurses has been removed. In pre-alpha-6 a bug was fixed in
machine_proc(M_PUT_SCREEN_CHAR,...) which affected display_text_image()
and put_screen_char(). sanity.ex now passes 100%.
Let us know if you find any bugs.

$10 Language War Contest |
| |
|
January 16, 2006:
We have posted to Recent User Contributions
a version of the multitasking Language War game
that anyone can download and play.
You don't even have to install Euphoria to run it. Three people have
now won at the expert level, and have been given coupons for
$10 off the Euphoria Binder. The three winners are:
Marco Achury (Dec 22), John Sas (Dec 27) and Christian Cuvier (Jan 5).
If you have playback.exe (from the LW game download)
you can play back their games. Just rename each game in turn
as win1.vid so playback.exe will see it.
This contest is now closed.

more reliable and displays multiple fonts and colors.

Cooperative Multitasking |
| |
|
September 20, 2005:
RDS has released a preview of new multitasking functionality for
Euphoria. We have implemented multitasking in the Public Domain
source version of the interpreter. Once the API stabilizes,
we will implement the same functionality in the official (C backend)
interpreter, and in the Translator. With Euphoria's multitasking,
many tasks can run in parallel, each with its own call stack and
private variables. Tasks can be scheduled for real-time,
or simply to share the CPU.

Euphoria is 8x Faster than Java |
| |
|
We compared the Euphoria 1.5 interpreter against
Sun Microsystems' Java interpreter
(JDK 1.0.2 for Windows 95), and found that Euphoria executes the prime
sieve benchmark 8 times faster!
We ran the benchmark on a Pentium-150 machine under Windows 95. The Java
sieve program was first pre-compiled into an executable byte-code file
using JAVAC -O (compile with optimization). We then timed the JAVA
interpreter in executing the sieve byte-code file, and compared the time
against Euphoria.
Note that the Euphoria interpreter executes source programs immediately,
without requiring a separate pre-compile step. |

Euphoria mailing list.
