J801 has been released, and can be downloaded from http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j801.
(browser page refresh may be required to see new page rather than old page from the cache) The main change is in the desktop IDE. This has been rewritten in Qt instead of GTK, and includes a replacement for the J6 window driver, wd. For those not making essential use of either J7 GTK or J6 wd, the new system should be a straightforward upgrade. In particular, the J engine, J console and JHS are the same in both J7 and J8. Going forward, we will focus development efforts only on J8, and not try to keep J6 or J7 up to date. A great deal of community effort went into this release, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed both in development and testing. Especial thanks are due to the core Qt development group: Norman Drinkwater Bill Lam David Mitchell Ric Sherlock ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
