Almost a month has passed since my last posting, so assuming that everyone is just in "wait and see" mode. Therefore throwing another stone into the water: how about releasing the current 5.0 Beta this coming week? :)
Or are there any showstoppers anyone sees? Is there anything that is currently missing and needs to be done? When suggesting the current beta, mentally I included the great new features "address with" and variable references from Rick's sandbox (for each there is a 64-bit Windows ooRexx installation package at: <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/olh1mqfwb4brp7r/AABI1X-Le9zDCJ0gyfvMdKB8a?dl=0>). AFAIK they are not in trunk and hence may need to be added to trunk and maybe it may make sense to create one more ooRexx 5.0 beta to get it tested on a wider scale for a few weeks. Alternatively, after releasing the current 5.0 beta as GA, these new features may get added to trunk and cause a new 5.1 beta version to be created which may be released sometimes in the fall. Ad rsock6: not seeing any commits in the repository not sure about its state. However, like with Unicode, in the case that IPv6 is really needed for the time being one can use the ooRexx external function package BSF4ooRexx to get access to it from ooRexx (in this case even SSL etc. becomes available to ooRexx programmers). ---rony On 22.05.2018 14:42, Rony G.
