subjectRe: [BLACKBOX] BlackBox 1.6 final version?
mailed-bylists.oberon.ch


Dear Marc,

thanks for asking about the final release of BlackBox 1.6. I know it has
been a long time since releasing 1.6-rc5.

Unfortunately there are still a few changes we would like to include
into the final version of 1.6. Apart from improved handling of Unicodes
in the text subsystem, for example, we had to slide in another set of
changes to the object file format in order to correct problems with the
consistency checks that occur when modules are loaded into the BlackBox
runtime. Much to our regret this has the unpleasant consequence that you
will have to re-compile all your existing modules in order to use them
with the future final version of BlackBox 1.6. We really hope this will
be the last release for a long time in which we have to change the
object file format. But since we are not yet absolutely certain on
whether our currently internal release candidate will keep this promise,
we did not release it officially yet. For anyone who wants to try it
anyway: Please find the most recent release of BlackBox (1.6-rc6) at

http://www.oberon.ch/zip/SetupBlackBox16-rc6.exe

A list of changes since 1.6-rc5 is attached further below in this
message.

Apart from these critical and unfortunately breaking changes we are
currently working on a list of some 30 open points. Once we will have
closed enough of these pending issues, we will finally release 1.6. That
is our current plan. But as explained a few times before on this list,
due to the scarce resources available to us, we really cannot make any
commitments regarding a timeline.

Thanks again and kind regards,

Marc
