NetRexx 3.06 GA released

[rvjansen]

Dear list members,

today NetRexx 3.06 GA was released. Get it at http://netrexx.org and please use it for all your production code.

(And because there were not many reports for the beta - let me know if you find something strange!)

best regards,

René

Rene,

thanks for the recent 3.06 GA release :-) Well done, Mr. President :-)

Just did download it now, and shall run my NetRexx benchmark tests now until end of Year 2017 again.
Shall I switch to Java 9 before, or shall I run the benchmark (-javac vs. -ecj) both for Java 8 first,
and *then* for Java 9 ???

Of course I shall publish the results and/or any strange behaviour to this group ;-)

Kindly, Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

don’t switch to Java 9 yet - it won’t work! Or at least, not last time I tried - with NetRexx. Kermit told me he had a plan to fix that; unfortunately, we never came around discussing that. I need some time to look at it - time that I don’t have now. If anyone else wants to give it a go - just remember that it is an open source project and you are very welcome to.

This of course shows the perils of trusting underlying infrastructure. If push comes to shove, we will include a VM in the package (we are already including a compiler, because, um, the java people could not resist keeping changing the packaging and API’s around).

There must be a saner solution in skipping the step where all zips and jars are scanned (good for performance) while using reflection to make sure things are reachable and exist with the right signature. The import package. statement will likely suffer, though. NetRexx 4 will support Java 9 and up. Hopefully.

In the meantime, have fun with the Annotations that were added to 3.06! It opens up a new world for NetRexx programs.

best regards,

René.

Ok, thanks for *clarifying* this instantly :-)
I maybe shall have time next year to look at the Java 9 pending NetRexx issues ...

Let us all maintain the *good work* !

Kindly, Thomas.

Where is the source code? Did not see it in the sourceforge repository.

The pointers are at http://www.netrexx.org/community.nsp , but the SourceForge project is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/netrexx/ .

Press the ‘code’ tab. I think it helps to have a SourceForge userid and be logged on (logged in) to it. I am not 100% positive if that is a requirement for read only access though.

For https access, copy the ‘git clone’ command line to a shell window:

git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/netrexx/code netrexx-code

that should give you a local git repository containing everything. 

A windows git client can be found at: https://git-scm.com/download/win

Linux and macos with dev tools usually have it installed.

Let me know if you have trouble building it.

best regards,

René.

true, forgot to push out some commits. They should be there, and I will branch for the release.

Thanks for checking,

best regards,
