Hello, I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.13 of the gzochi game development framework.
gzochi (/zoʊ-tʃiː/) is a programming framework for developing online games in GNU Guile, and a distributed middleware container that hosts your games for thousands of connected players. gzochi takes care of the hard parts of online game development - concurrency, data persistence, and network communications - so you can focus on the stuff that matters! This release adds backwards-compatible support for the GNU Guile 3.0.x release series, bringing the performance improvements of Guile's new native JIT to game applications hosted on gzochi. In addition, the gzochi framework now builds and runs on MacOS / BSD, and gzochi services are now easier to deploy within Docker containers. As usual, see the NEWS files in the distribution for additional changes and bugfixes. This is a development release, but there's extensive server and client documentation, and the distribution includes three example games with heavily-annotated source code.
