What's New?
- Jafar Al Gharaibeh has created a Facebook page for us.
- Ziad Al Sharif's Ph.D. Dissertation on UDB, the Unicon Debugger
- Building Unicon on Linux? You need the C/C++ compiler and
libraries (e.g. on Ubuntu 9.10, install "build-essential" package). If
you want graphics you'll need X11 (Xlib) development headers and libraries
(e.g. on Ubuntu 9.10, install "libx11-dev").
You might want to install *-develop packages for libraries and headers
that enable other optional features such as opengl, libz,
libjpeg, libpng, ogg/vorbis, sdl, ftgl, and others.
- Building Unicon on Snow Leopard? Check out the new amd64_macos configuration (yes, we know Macs are Intel processors; the instruction set was invented by AMD).
- Building Unicon from source on Vista? Good luck! Check out
Dr. J's Unicon Build Instructions for some tips.
- Jon Pearkins created RalphGriswold.com to help us remember Ralph E. Griswold.
- Mike Wilder has developed an optimizing compiler for Unicon based on
Ken Walker's iconc program. His
Thesis is
available. The code is now in CVS. Further
work on compiler scalability and additional optimizations are planned.
- Sudarshan Gaikaiwari
has developed a proposed SNOBOL-style
Pattern data type for Unicon. His
Thesis is available for public comment, and the code is in the
Unicon CVS (not turned on by default, yet). Some feedback received
leads us to expect substantial revision will occur before this
feature becomes part of the language standard, but it does offer
promising concise notation and faster performance than string scanning.
- The new Ivib 2 and gui package are the default Ivib tool;
Ivib 1 is still available but is no longer built by default.
Thanks to Robert Parlett, Ivib 2 is pretty good at migrating
GUI dialogs and offers numerous technical advantages.
- Nolan Clayton has been kind enough to provide
us with these logos for use in websites and applications:
