X10 1.7 is a significant enhancement of the X10 language. The new 
language supports generics, closures, typedefs and type inference, and 
uses  "val/var" style syntax.

We are also moving the group website to codehaus.org. We are using jira 
at the codehaus site to track bugs against the release.

Many thanks to Nate Nystrom for leading the X10 1.7 language design and 
implementation. Bruce Lucas pitched in with 200+ tests in a short period 
of time. Igor Peshansky worked on the implementation of generics with 
Nate. Sreedhar Kodali, Dave Grove and Igor helped to get the new website 
running.

Beth Tibbitts has also placed an X10DT update site (for X10 1.5) on the 
website:
=====================
I have some simple instructions and an X10DT update site
(Simplfied install I built for the X10 Deep Dive attendees)
that installs X10DT for X10 1.5

Located at http://x10-lang.org/X10DT+Installation

I'm sure some of this will change as we get new procedures in place, but 
this should
give folks an easy way to install X10DT which matches what was used for 
the Rice Trials, for now.
=======================

Many thanks to Robert Fuhrer, Matt Kaplan, Beth, Cal Swart, Rhonda 
Rosenbaum, Jonathan Brezin and the many participants of the X10 pilots 
at Hawthorne and the X10 trial at Rice U for trying out X10DT. X10DT is 
vastly improved, and much more stable and now ready for use on a regular 
basis by X10 1.5 programmers.

(Beth is at work on plans to upgrade X10DT support to X10 1.7.)
