Hi All!

Around a year after beta 7 I'm now proud to announce that Alan beta 8 is available! This is a shorter cycle than before, much thanks primarily to Tristano Ajmone who has invested a lot of time and energy in giving feedback and working on the documentation and translations.

Primary new features are support for UTF-8 in Alan source and command scripts, but also more complete checking of container limits.

Read more and download from the home page!

I have not had time to do the manual checks of all packaging, and relying on the continuous and extensive automatic testing, so I'd be happy to hear about, and work to fix, any and all issues.

Have fun!

/Thomas

@thomas,

the Windows SDK command line seems fine, but I can't see WinArun Beta8 for download!

https://alanif.se/download-alan-v3/latest-releases, you should have (at least I have) Interpreters 3.0beta8 as the top group, WinArun is the last in that list. Or is it just me that sees it?
