We're happy to announce that X10 version 1.7.3 is now available for download. For more information, please see the 1.7.3 release page at http://x10.codehaus.org/X10+1.7.3+Release.
The release notes are appended: This release includes both the C++ and Java code generation backends. The C++ backend is now in the publicly-visible SourceForge SVN repository. This release makes the following language change since 1.7.2: - "to" is no longer used for casts, use "as" - X10 now supports "at" statements The following features described in the 1.7 language manual do not currently work with the Java backend and will be fixed in the subsequent releases: - Type parameters on closures - Non-static type definitions as class or interface members (static type defs do work) - Type definitions as package members (i.e., in the outermost scope of a compilation unit) - AST externalization to XML - Shared local variables - Extern methods Additionally, the following features described in the 1.7 language manual do not currently work with the C++ backend and will be fixed in the subsequent releases: - Garbage collection - Generic virtual methods - Exception stack traces on Cygwin and AIX - Finally blocks with return, break or continue. Here's a list of known issues with the C++ backend: - Default values are not assigned to some value types - Static initialization is sometimes incorrectly ordered (at the moment it's very brittle, though somewhat controllable by the link order of files) - Operator overloading does not work correctly sometimes - Hash codes are not computed correctly for some classes A detailed list of the 126 issues addressed in the 1.7.3 release can be found in JIRA: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XTENLANG/fixforversion/14695 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
