j9.4.1 release is available! https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/J9.4
Zip installs are there now and AIO/Debian/apk will be there shortly. Do a full install. You can do this on top of an existing j9.4 folder, but probably better to rename it out of the way and start with a clean slate. Name convention has changed (j904 -> j9.4), so the user folder is: j9.4-user. Do not just upgrade the JE as you did with the beta as this may not give a clean and complete installation. *** If you were on the beta journey you will know that this is a big step for J. J now has a threading model ready for serious use. This is going to take time to settle in, but is going to change the way we tackle some problems. Roger's original implementation of rationals and extended integers was always intended as a placeholder. Many years later, we have finally moved to GMP. No new capabilities, but the performance improvement can be a game changer. The hobby horse is now a work horse. Improved error messages will be appreciated by new users, but are also welcomed by old hands. This feature is extensible and will evolve. Release Notes are worth a look: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/ReleaseNotes/J9.4 This was a team effort and benefited from significant community participation. But we should all recognize the major contributions of a few individuals. Henry Rich (everything - especially threads) Raul Miller (GMP) Bill Lam (steady hand in everything - android/openbsd/freebsd) Elijah Stone (threads and error messages) Bill Heagy (testing/testing/testing - beyond value) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
