Jekyll 0.3 alpha out now

2006-04-15T01:22:33Z

Jekyll 0.3 is a major advance from Jekyll 0.2. C code is now completely unannotated, and the system is now more tolerent of changes to code.

This is because Jekyll now uses a new non-determistic translation system. When translating one language to another, the translator produces a non-deterministic file that describes all the different ways that the file could be encoded. This non-determinism is then resolved by attempting to select the file that most closely matches the previous file.

Jekyll 0.3 coming soon

Jekyll 0.3 is a major step forward from Jekyll 0.2 as it uses a completely annotation-free encoding. We plan to release Jekyll 0.3 within the next few days.

Jekyll 0.21 alpha now out

2006-03-02T19:22:08Z

Despite the .01 increment, this release contains quite a lot of changes under the covers. The C->Jekyll decoding system has been completely rewritten to use a more powerful transformational approach.

This has allowed us to change Jekyll's C encoding to be significantly lighter weight and less intrusive.

Jekyll 0.20 alpha now out

2006-02-10T11:35:57Z

This change makes a number of major changes.

Translation from C to Jekyll to C is now able to preserve all information, including all layout changes, and changes to Jekyll-generated variable names. It does this by comparing with a previous version of the C file, and attempting to minimise the differences.

The encoding into C has also changed. The new encoding is much more lightweight, using less macros, and encoding more information with variable names.

Jekyll 0.19 alpha now out

2005-12-22T17:16:23Z

The main change in this release is that type classes are now fully implemented.

Jekyll 0.18 alpha now out

2005-12-20T12:06:48Z

Lambda expressions with environments now work properly.

The lossless translation system has been rewritten to be more elegant and to produce more nicely formatted C code.

Jekyll 0.17 alpha now out

2005-11-30T15:52:47Z

There are no great new user-end features in this release - though quite a few new features are /almost/ ready.

The main purpose of this release is that it is a slight tidy-up of the version of Jekyll that the paper "Dr Jekyll and Mr C" was based on.

New Paper Available

2005-11-14T15:34:34Z

A new paper is available on the Jekyll home page giving an overview of the Jekyll language and its lossless translation to and from C.

Jekyll 0.16 alpha now out

2005-10-20T18:00:27Z

This release fixes a number of bugs, changes the syntax for type variables, and allows basic types (int etc) to implement interfaces.

Jekyll 0.15 alpha now out

2005-10-12T10:18:04Z

This new release adds support for complex initialiser expressions, including constructor initialisers, and dynamic memory allocation. It also fixes a number of bugs and tidies up a number of things.

Download it and have a play.
