Open Dylan 2022.1 Released

Posted on 28 November 2022

Dear Dylan Hacker,

It is a pleasure for us to announce a new release of Open Dylan.

Some highlights in this release:

  • This release comes with “batteries included”. The binary distributions contain all necessary dependent libraries, including clang, libunwind, and libgc, making installation much easier.

  • Support has been added for linking executable Dylan libraries and all of their dependencies into a single unified executable using the -unify build option.

  • A new dylan tool manages Dylan workspaces. It provides a centralized catalog of Dylan packages and a way to manage dependencies without resorting to Git submodules or needing to manually create registry files.

  • The 64-bit RISC-V architecture (rv64gc ISA) is now supported on Linux.

  • Updates to various libraries included with Open Dylan: collections, io, system, ssl, testworks.

For full details on changes in this release see the release notes, or go directly to the download page.

Good luck and happy Dylan hacking!
