A fix for a nasty bug in the implementation the Pony type system was released as part of Pony 0.58.10. We recommend everyone update as soon as possible.
A nasty bug in the Pony type system was closed this week. If you can, you should start using a nightly release as soon as possible.
A new week, a new article about Pony and a new RFC accepted. All this and more in this week’s Last Week in Pony.
Theo Butler’s simple HTTP framework Jennet, got some updates this week thanks to Red Davies.
A new version of Pony is out. 0.58.8 has an exciting new feature for folks who want to use C based graphics libraries with Pony. We even had to do a quick follow-up release that is of interest to practically no one and only exists to clean up an issue with some standard library documentation not building.
Enjoy! See you next year.
