JewelScript 1.0 feature freeze
Thursday, February 18th, 2010I’ve decided to stop adding new features for the upcoming release of version 1.0 and start the testing and bug fixing phase.
Basic exceptions added
Monday, February 15th, 2010I’ve added basic support for exceptions to the language. Support for exceptions has been in the runtime from the beginning, however, it was never really used – except for the debugger which intercepts and shows them.

So far, so good
Saturday, February 6th, 2010I’m almost finished with updating all my applications, framework and scripts to the new version of JewelScript. Apart from working on that Toolbuilder project one day and of course the changes to JewelScript itself, it took me about 3 days to get everything to compile and work.
