Wow! When is the next release planned? Is it worth my trying the beta?

1. I will give you implementation a try.
2. I have been compiling with 64-bit as I expect most of the programs I write
require more than 4GB of memory.
Thanks!
Unfortunately RandAA doesn't work on 64-bit yet, though the reasons are just
some
minor details, not fundamental issues. I didn't bother supporting it because
last
time I did a major update the 64-bit backend wasn't ready yet and I needed to
find
good linear congruential parameters for 64-bit.
You might also be pleasantly surprised when the new release (currently in beta)
comes out. I've put a lot of optimization work into the garbage collector and
depending on the allocation size, it's between 25% and 200x faster than the
2.052
GC. (See
