It's quite old indeed: :-)

I could have sworn that they never worked before.
The Java bindings are another example - I notice a new directory has suddenly appeared, and in the meantime, everyone is getting excited on comp.lang.smalltalk about Smalltalk/JVM. OK, I realize that they do different things, but I still think that people would be very interested.
These are not in a released version, and are not ready from prime time until I can get them to load from a JAR file, at the very least. The configury should be checking for gcj and enabling them only if gcj is found.
Fair enough, I suppose, but you have released them in the development branch, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was curious about them.
Oh, and since I am writing about new things, here is something I've worked on lately:
1) I've improved pragmas so that you can write C calls like pragmas, e.g.
getenv: aString <cCall: 'getenv' returning: #string args: #(#string)>!
I like that - it means that in file-ins, C call methods will look more similar to regular methods.
2) I've rewritten the parser as recursive descent. I hope this allows us to design a scripting-like syntax, and depart from file-ins at last.
That also is very exciting.
I'm uploading (1) to the Arch repository right now.>
Thanks for the patches.
Did you have an opinion on whether to use VW compatibility methods? I only ask because I would prefer not to have to change my source code when I next install a new version.
Regards,
Mike
