What's new

This is LDPL 4.0 Diligent Dreadnoughtus. Rawrrr! This release reworks a great part of the language, fixes all the bugs introduced in LDPL 3.0.5 and marks a new milestone in the history of LDPL! This release is not backwards compatible with 3.0.x LDPL releases, as most of the redundant statements have been moved into the LDPL Standard Library.

New features and changes:

• Windows support has been dropped.
• The ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, CEIL, ABS, INCR and DECR statements have been removed and moved to the Standard Library.
• Many statements have been renamed in a more consistent fashion. Check the LDPL documentation should any older statement not compile.
• Now you can check if LISTs and MAPs are equal (or not equal) in the WHILE and IF statements.
• The VECTOR type has been renamed MAP.
• Added the LIST type along some statements to use it.
• Statements that stored multiple values in MAPs (like SPLIT) now do so in LISTs (and not in MAPs anymore).
• Fixed some trailing whitespace errors within the END QUOTE statement.
• Now you can CALL sub-procedures before declaring them.
• The FOR and FOR EACH statements have been added.
• The IMPORT statement has been added to import files to your project.
• The EXTENSION statement has been added to add C++ extensions to your project.
• The FLAG statement has been added to pass flags to the C++ compiler.
• Sub-procedures now can receive parameters by calling them using CALL mySub WITH parameters. Check the documentation for more information.
• Sub-procedures now can have local variables by using the local-data: section.
• The CREATE STATEMENT statement has been added to allow for the creation of new LDPL statements.
• Many bugs fixed.

This release has been tested by the LDPL Test Battery and should work stably, but should you come across a bug do not hesitate to report it. Special thanks to @dgarroDC for his awesome contributions.

• The INCR and DECR statements have been added as shorter ways to increment or decrement a value. Documented here.

• The TRIM - IN statement has been added to trim trailing and leading whitespace from a string. Documented here.
• A number of statements to make vectors more powerful have been added: CLEAR to empty a vector, COPY - TO to copy a vector, STORE INDEX COUNT OF - IN to get the number of elements in a vector and STORE INDICES OF - IN to store the indices of a vector in another vector.

This release has been tested by the LDPL Test Battery and should work stably, but should you come across a bug do not hesitate to report it. Special thanks to @dvkt for their awesome contributions.

Bugs

While not technically a bug, the WAIT statement included in this release only works under Windows MinGW if the GCC thread model is set to POSIX. If you need to use WAIT with Win32 threads, you'll have to build the latest development version yourself. To check your current thread model run gcc -v.

Source Code

What's new

This is LDPL 3.0.4 Busy Brontosaurus. This release fixes all bugs found in LDPL 3.0.3 and enhances compatibility with C++ extensions. Also:

• The -n / --non-static compiler flag has been completely added (and documented here).
• The ERROR-CODE and ERROR-TEXT system variables have been added to the language. When an operation that could potentially fail is executed (for example loading a file), these variables will report the result. Documented here.
• The statement EXTERNAL SUB-PROCEDURE has been added to the language and documented in the reference so you can call LDPL SUB-PROCEDURES from C++ code.
• The statement IN - SOLVE has been added to the language and documented in the reference.
• The statement LOAD FILE has been expanded to use the ERROR-CODE and ERROR-TEXT system variables and has been documented in the reference.
• The statement STORE CHARACTER CODE - IN has been expanded to use the ERROR-CODE and ERROR-TEXT system variables and has been documented in the reference.
• Identifier naming schemes have been properly defined here.
• Valid number literal schemes have been properly defined here.
• The compiler codebase has also been strongly simplified.
• The -c compiler flag has been added to accept source from standard input (more here).
• The --version and --help messages have been updated to be more informative.
• The commands make install and make uninstall have been added to the Makefile.
• A man page for LDPL has been added to the repository and is installed along with the compiler when installing LDPL via make install. To check it just run man ldpl.

This release has been tested by the LDPL Test Battery and should work stably, but should you come across a bug do not hesitate to report it. Special thanks to @dvkt and @dgarroDC, their wonderful contributions made this release possible.

Known bugs:

• ERRORCODE and ERRORTEXT are not reset after a successful STORE CHARACTER CODE OF. You should reset them manually if you use the binaries and source provided here.
• EXECUTE AND STORE EXIT CODE is not returning the proper exit codes for values other than 0.

In order to build and use the LDPL compiler, C++11 is required on your $PATH.

What's new

This is LDPL 3.0.3 Active Argentinosaurus. This release mostly addresses bugfixes for bugs found in LDPL 3.0.0. Versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 did not receive a formal release, thus the leap to 3.0.3. As we aren't releasing bugfix versions anymore (just regular language releases with incremental features and bugfixes from the previous version), the version numbering system will now reflect <retrocompatibility breaking standard version>.<major version>.<minor version>. Also, the -ns compiler flag has been partially added (for Linux only, Windows and macOS build non-statically by default). A new statement STORE QUOTE has been added to the language and documented in the reference. This is also the first release to bear a dinosaur code-name.

This release has been tested and should work stably, but should you come across a bug do not hesitate to report it.

Known Bugs

• LDPL for Windows is building non-static binaries. This was not the intended behaviour and will be fixed.
• ABS is broken and doesn't work as expected.

Source Code

The source code for this release can be downloaded below.

Binaries

Windows x64, macOS x64 and Linux x64 binaries are provided. LDPL 3.0.3 should also work on Windows x86, ARMv8 Linux, Android Termux, PPC Linux and PPC OS X. If you are on one of these platforms, please download the source code and compile LDPL yourself by following the instructions detailed on README.md.

What's new

This is LDPL 3.0.0, expanding the horizons of the language! This new version is the biggest update yet since the release of LDPL, mostly thanks to the tireless work of ʇʞʌp. LDPL now has C++ compatibility, so you can share LDPL variables and functions with C++ (and viceversa) and, among other things, use LDPL to create graphic applications (with SDL) or use any other C++ library you'd like (provided you write an LDPL compatible wrapper for it).

The new extension is documented in the reference. Support for LABEL and GOTO statements has also been added due to popular request, so you can go make Dijkstra turn in his grave (you monsters). There's also a new ELSE IF, with support for all the same statements as the regular IF.

This release has been tested and should work stably, but please report any bugs you find should you come across one.

Known Bugs

Due to a last minute addition, this release doesn't have a functioning ELSE statement. As a replacement you can use ELSE IF 0 IS EQUAL TO 0 THEN for now. This has been fixed in the repository.
