Last Week in Pony April 23, 2023
Hey there kiddos! Sunday is here again. It’s Last Week in Pony time. This week’s news is headlined by 3 releases, so hey, put on that Hank Thompson music and dig in for a read.
Just remember, 3 times 7 is 21.

In our previous edition of “Last Week in Pony”, we covered the exploration of ponyc issue #4340 that happened during the April 7th Office Hours. This week, we are happy to report that the bug has been fixed. You can check out this week’s Pony Development Sync to hear Sean and Joe work through the final bits of the bug and you can enjoy the fruits of those labors by installing Pony 0.54.1 which was released this week.
This week in Pony was highlighted by a long debugging session during Office Hours and the merging of LLVM 15 support to main during the Pony Development Sync. A huge thanks to Joe for doing the heavy lifting on getting us up and running on LLVM 15.
There wasn’t a ton of “above ground” activity in Pony this week, although Sean and Joe have been working on fixing a couple of compiler bugs. While you wait for a Last Week in Pony that includes news of those bugs being fixed and the ponyc release that includes them, we offer you this smaller Last Week in Pony and suggest you get reading right after you put on some Aretha.
Not a ton of above ground activity with Pony this last week, so this is a fairly short LWIP. Sean’s work project crunch is winding down so expect more activity from him over the next few months.
There was no Pony development sync this week due to low attendance and a small agenda. Beyond that, dig in a read what we have for Pony news this week. It’s a little light in part because, the job that pays me is taking up a lot of my time at the moment leaving very little time for the job that doesn’t pay me.
Time keeps on ticking into the future and Pony continues rolling on. We’d like to open today’s Last Week in Pony with a thank you to all the volunteers (including ourselves), who’ve kept it moving. Bless you all. Here’s to more gradual improvements!
In the meantime, put on some Black Sheep and dig into this week’s news including the delay of the Pony 0.54.0 release.
