Any extra testing or documentation suggestions would be welcome. As an alternative to building the sources from Subversion, you can grab the binary snapshot from: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-latest.zip which is currently a link to kawa-2.1.9-20161014.zip. The zip file includes the documentation in kawa-VERSION/doc/kawa-manual.epub . See README-epub in the same directory for how to read this epub. See specifically the "news" page. Highlights include: * Improved arrays (including multi-dimensional array). * REPL improvements. * A new "composable pictures" library. (Try it - it's fun.) I have not updated the version number (it is still 2.1.9). Kawa 2.2 will probably be the last release in the 2.x series: The 3.x series (in the "invoke" branch) will include pattern matching and a new "apply" implementation. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
