I am a bit tired of year long release candidates so I've set the version number of Felix to 1.1.6 and will soon release it.
Unfortunately there's no tarball and I'm not sure how to tell people how to grab this release from GitHub .. or even if I want to. In 1.1.6 a major long standing memory corruption preventing many tools including the webserver and flx_cp from operating correctly has been fixed .. I forgot to tell Felix that the RE2 object was a gc pointer -- required a one word fix! I also fixed the axiom check bug so now all the tests except gmp with dynamic linkage work on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Flx_cp now handles a huge number of files and transfers the last modification date to the new file, as well as permissions. So it is now suitable for use in the build system. I plan to write some tools and improve the existing ones and make the binaries directly downloadable from the felix-lang.org web site, for Linux and for OSX (64 bit Snow Leopard). I hope this may get some people interested. Writing tools means upgrading the library, and it provides some serious testing of the Felix system capabilities .. as well as providing a nice demo. I am now seriously thinking of rewriting part of the webserver to use fthreads (fibres) for the formatting code instead of the existing extremely complex and difficult to maintain state machine.
