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.)

1625 Version 0.1 of yoob was purely a technology preview and was never officially
1726 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.

2528 The API should not be expected to be stable through the 0.x series.
