Re: Parrot 0.4.2 "GPW" Released!

I tried upgrading my gentoo box from parrot 0.4.0 to 0.4.2 by copying the ebuild for 0.4.0 to 0.4.2 and emerging that. It failed in the make install phase when it tried to install the installable_ files to the live filesystem rather than to the install target tree. The ebuild calls make install w

something compatable with ieee 754 decimal floats, so that they can be used when running on hardware which supports them. Even w/o such hardware, gcc (at least) has support for software emulation of _Decimal32 and _Decimal64 (and _Decimal128?). -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

it from widespread use of efficient interval techniques is significant. All that said, it may be the case that the .. syntax, though useful for specifying intervals, may not be preferred by those doing such coding. The may prefer a ± syntax, or something like ΤεΧ’s strech and shrink syntax for glue. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
