24/05/2016 : Oforth V0.9.23 released
Warning : this version introduces lots of internal changes. Some of those changes can make previous Oforth code not compatible with this version. This is probably the last major version before V1.0 and teh las one that introduce such evolutions.
The biggest change is now that most Oforth words are now written in Oforth. These words are declared into 2 new files that are loaded at startup : asm.of and prelude.of .
Core words are now written in Oforth into those files.
The second big change is the modification of the order of parameters declaration for words. This makes existing words defined with two or more parameters not compatible with this Oforth version (or, at least, they must be controlled). Example for the new order :
: t(a, b) a b - ;
10 4 t .
6 ok
t(10, 4) .
6 ok
26/09/2015 : Oforth V0.9.22 released
This version adds an incremental garbage collector feature. GC is no more a "stop the world" phase and tasks are allowed to run between GC steps.
GC steps are about 100 microseconds.
A new documentation has been added for memory and garbage collector informations here
This version also allows the interpreter to read classical Forth definition syntax. Tutorials will be updated to follow this notation. For instance :
: fact(n) -- n1
| i | 1 n loop: i [ i * ] ;
