Subject: Announcing the Release of ooRexx 5.0.0
The ooRexx (open object Rexx) team is pleased to release ooRexx 5.0.0
and make it generally available to the world via the web from
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx/5.0.0/>.
ooRexx is the object-oriented successor to IBM's famous Rexx language
which remains easy to learn, easy to program in and easy to maintain,
thanks to keeping up the "human centric" design principle. The "Rexx
Language Association (RexxLA)" <https://www.rexxla.org/> is the owner
of the source code, originally donated by IBM in 2004 and improved
considerably and continuously since then.
Rexx programs can be run unchanged with ooRexx 5.0.0 and can be
gradually augmented with the many beneficial new features ooRexx 5.0.0
brings to the table, like redirectable commands from and into running
Rexx programs, new and helpful classes like the RexxInfo class, new
ability to annotate programs (packages), routines, classes, methods
and attributes, ability to easily define multiline strings (e.g. for
SQL statements, boiler plate text, base64 encoded binary data ...) and
much more.
Among the notable improvements are numerous bug fixes compared to its
predecessor ooRexx 4.2.0, noticeable speed improvements over ooRexx
4.2.0 and much more useful functionality. Please consult the file
docs/CHANGES.txt for more information.
After downloading ooRexx 5.0.0 and installing take a look into the
samples directory which demonstrates some of its capabilities. The
Windows version has numerous examples that demonstrate how to interact
with Microsoft Office, Apache Open Office/LibreOffice and many of the
Windows infrastructures taking advantage of their OLE (Object Linking
and Embedding) interfaces.
To get more information and support you can use the ooRexx Sourceforge
project's "Tickets" or "Mailing Lists" infrastructure.
In addition you may consider joining the non-profit "Rexx Language
Association (RexxLA)" for free at
<https://www.rexxla.org/members/index.rsp?action=join> where Rexx
experts of all kind of Rexx interpreters on all important operating
systems are already members, including the language creators and
implementers.
So download the brand new ooRexx 5.0.0 and start to explore it! Have
fun and enjoy!
The ooRexx team, cyberspace, December 23rd, 2022
P.S.: Please, if you can, make all of your friends, all of your
colleagues and the media you are interested in aware of this great
event for ooRexx 5.0.0 (a short e-mail is quickly done)!
