new windows binary soon

[Jameson Nash]

I'm close to releasing a new windows binary. Here's a download preview if you want an early chance to test it (comments and GitHub bug reports are always appreciated). I am not uploading this yet because the web repl was broken by some of my updates (it runs but will not accept input). However, I may not have a chance to work through that immediately, so I figured I would get this out there for those of you who don't use the web repl anyways.

Enjoy!

Thank you!

Something I would like to have, when a new binary is released, is an idea of what are the major changes and improvements, or new features. For example whether the new version supports e.g. multicore computation.

Cheers

Thank you for the up-to-date Windows version!

This is giving me the option the meet the new module system.

 

A minimal test is the file "mymod.jl":
> module Mymod
> export y
> x=11
> y=22
> end

 

In the REPL
> using Mymod
returns the error "in module path: Mymod not defined"

 
while the combination
> load("mymod.jl")
> using Mymod
works fine, typing y does automatically import y=22.

 

Is this the expected behaviour?
If yes, it seems a bit more typing than what I expected.

 

If I make further changes to the file "mymod.jl", say y=33,
and load("mymod.jl")  (Warning: replacing module Mymod)
then whatever I do, I can not get y=33, the old binding remains.

 

Again, is this the expected behaviour?

Sorry, "whatever I do" was an overstatement,

it is only that the variable update is not automatic.

 

> load("mymod.jl")
Warning: replacing module Mymod

> y
22

 

> y=Mymod.y
Warning: imported binding for y overwritten in module Main
33

 

> y
33
