Recent releases


Changes: This release smooths several issues for multi-threaded scripts. A &sum function was added for computing the sum of an array. The &values function was updated to extract specific keys from a hash. Predicates were added for testing if a string is upper or lowercase. The documentation was updated as well.


Changes: Debug messages provide more detail on proxy objects. Ordered hashes no longer serialize their miss and remove policies. An inadvertent shared reference issue with values from ordered hash policies has been fixed. The cast function can now create empty arrays. Sleep can now access object fields declared in a parent class.


Changes: Imports from third party jars now affect the system classpath. Foreach loop now works with Java iterators. A bug with taint mode was fixed. Scope functions now complain about incorrect use.
