Just a reminder, we have the ooRexx Announcements list on Sourceforge
with 26 members
Ah, would not have realized that, thank you very much! :)
So suggesting:
* RexxLA member list
* oorexx lists: developer, support, announcements
* bsf4oorexx lists: developer, support
Maybe someone with the editing power can also update the RexxLA
landing page and link to the announcement on the RexxLA site, after
uploading it there?

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 many 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 contains programs that demonstrate 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 to 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)!
