After about a month of coding (on and off), The Deelang DEX compiler is now feature complete, and what better way to celebrate than by releasing the code? It’s always been available in Subversion of course, but now you can download all the new stuff from the downloads page as either a source package or ready-made Jar, without all that messing around with Subversion, finding the right branch, or any of that. It’s right there, on the downloads page, just waiting for you to grab and go!
I’ve blogged a bit about the new features in this version (for example, here, here and here), and if you missed all that and are now wondering what on Earth I’m on about, I’ve also blogged generally about Deelang (e.g. here). The short version is that Deelang is a compiled script language designed for embedded devices (especially Android) that allows developers to give their users a simple way to extend their apps by writing small scripts.
Now that there’s a file release available, we’re hoping to get some bug reports and open a discussion about where Deelang could/should go. Other than the DEX compiler (which has been about a month of solid effort in OSS terms) development is a bit haphazard – it works for us, so we leave it. If we need something new, we implement it, then we leave it at that. I really want to get a community going around this thing, to make it more generally useful for everyone…
So why not grab the code, play around with it, file issues if you find any bugs, and come over and join the mailing list?
