11 | The current released version of yoob is 0.2. It is as it stands before you. | |
12 | I decided to release it, in spite of the source being embarassingly bad, so | |
13 | that the masses might mock it, and perhaps, in their collective moment of | |
14 | weakness, submit patches, or at least actionable flames (note: actionable.) | |
11 | The current released version of yoob is 0.3. There are a few minor UI | |
12 | improvements in this version, but the main enhancement is that example | |
13 | programs are modelled as proper Java objects, and they support being loaded | |
14 | from remote URLs. This allows esolang implementations which are under one | |
15 | license to have example programs which are under another license; this in | |
16 | turn allows a few esolang implementations (Ale, Sceql, Qdeql) to be released | |
17 | in this distribution without embedded (possibly non-public domain) example | |
18 | programs, thus keeping the whole distribution in the public domain. | |

20 | The previous released version of yoob was 0.2. I decided to release it, | |
21 | in spite of the source being embarassingly bad, so that the masses might | |
22 | mock it, and perhaps, in their collective moment of weakness, submit patches, | |
23 | or at least actionable flames (note: actionable.) | |

16 | 25 | Version 0.1 of yoob was purely a technology preview and was never officially |
17 | 26 | released. |

19 | What needs to be done most badly in version 0.3 is the ability to load an | |
20 | example source from a URL; this will allow several of the esolang | |
21 | implementations which I have already written, but have not yet included, | |
22 | to be released without embedded (possibly non-public domain) example programs | |
23 | and thus uncontentiously and unconfusingly into the public domain. | |

25 | 28 | The API should not be expected to be stable through the 0.x series. |
