Re: [Factor-talk] Factor 0.98 now available

[Benjamin Pollack]

Thanks for the amazing work! I’m really excited to be able to finally point 
people to all the new stuff without having to have them start building from 
source. I think this’ll be a really great way to re-kindle interest in the 
language.

I linked to your post on lobster.rs, by the way, with the hope that there might 
be some good discussion there. I’m pretty optimistic.

Hi, John! 31.07.2018, 20:12, "John Benediktsson" : https://re-factor.blogspot.com/2018/07/factor-098-now-available.html I think the line "ui.tools.listener: support Ctrl-Break interruption on Windows" should be in the Improved Libraries section, not in the New Libraries.Also, not sure about "concurrency.distributed: fix serializing of remote threads". If possible, I'd like my last name spelled "Ilin". Thank you for the credit! And thank you for taking the time to release! Great work! ---=---Александр --
