Charm version 2.5.9 released

Charm version 2.5.9 the set of high level language tools and demos for RISC-OS computers and emulators is now freely available under the terms of the GNU GPLv3 license.

I have alpha tested Charm v2.5.8 from the distro Programming folder on the Raspberry Pi and it builds in around 20 seconds with no logging:

The only non-functional application is the !Decapedes demo which does not compile / run due to sound and graphics issues.

This release features a major object oriented programming compiler refactoring to utilise the recently introduced dynamic code and data language constructs.

Simply unpack the charm directory from the download zip archive using !SparkFS on to your RISC-OS drive taking care to save any user projects from a previous release beforehand.

See the Charm web site for more information.
