Hi,

I am glad to announce the release of ATS2-0.2.4.

This is the 27th release of ATS2, the successor of the
ATS (currently referred to as ATS1) programming language. The
compiler for ATS2 is given the name ATS/Positats, ATS2/Postiats
or simply Postiats.

######

The official website for ATS is:

http://www.ats-lang.org

ATS-Postiats is hosted at github:

https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats

Major releases of ATS2 are available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ats2-lang/

Major releases of external packages for ATS2 are available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ats2-lang-contrib/

A google-group for discussing ATS and related issues is at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ats-lang-users

######

The following packages are included in this release:

ATS2-Postiats-0.2.4.tgz # requiring libgmp
ATS2-Postiats-contrib-0.2.4.tgz # contributed packages
ATS2-Postiats-include-0.2.4.tgz # CATS-files w/ BSD-like license

I have included ATS2-Postiats-contrib (instead of releasing it
separately) as it is truly by now an indispensible part of ATS2.

After installing ATS-Postiats-include, one can compile the C code
generated from ATS source without installing the ATS compiler. So
a convenient way to distribute software written in ATS is to simply
release the C code generated from the ATS source.

See below for some major additions and changes since the last release
(ATS2-0.2.3).

Cheers,

Here is a list of major additions and changes since the last release:

######

1. Fixing a bug due to abstract types being given the 'empty' name.
2. Adding libats/theGetters
3. Fixing a bug in ATS-extsolve (involving the s2rtdatmap generation)
4. Fixing a minor parsing bug in CATS-parsemit
5. Adding libatsopt, the library version of patsopt; see utils/libatsopt
6. Adding some ifdef-guards:
    ATS_EXTERN_DEF__ for guarding the definition of ATSextern()
    ATS_STATIC_DEF__ for guarding the definition of ATSstatic()
    ATS_INLINE_DEF__ for guarding the definition of ATSinline()
7. Adding some examples to illustrate a way of using ATS+Emscripten
8. Supporting evaluated expressions (of the form %(...)) in statics
9. Generally improving libatscc2js and libatscc2erl
10. With libatsopt(JS), patsopt can now run entirely inside the browser.
11. Adding char2int1 and fixing add_bool_bool and mul_bool_bool

Hi,

Just wanted to know if the syntax and list of keywords/reserved words, is expected to be stable.

Yes, syntax/keywords should be stable. Further development of ATS will mostly attempt to add some meta-programming layers.

Hi,

I am glad to announce the release of ATS2-0.2.4.

There's a funny issue: when I got the message “error(2): illegal static application.”, it forget to put a new-line character right after, and the next error message follows on the same line.

Thanks for reporting. Fixed.
