[ANN] Idle 0.6.0b RC1

[Thomas Lauer <thomas.lauer@...>]

Hi folks,

another beta version of Idle (0.6.0b) is about to be released: I have
just uploaded 0.6.0b RC1. If all goes well, the beta will be released in
a few days' time.

See http://idle.thomaslauer.com/IdleDownload.html

The main change for this release is the full integration of the gui
module into the main Idle runtime DLL. There are also a few other
changes:

+ new function os.getStreamInfo() to query information about Alternate
  Data Streams and other streams

+ new function string.compare() to compare arbitrary substrings

- completely integrated the gui module into the runtime library
  (idle03.dll)

- updated several core modules and libraries to current releases

- other minor changes to a few runtime functions, all of them
  backward-compatible

If the 0.6.0b beta doesn't throw up some really nasty bugs I will move
towards a 1.0 release, probably in June or July. So please do your best
to derail this;-)

Idle is a scripting language based on the Lua core. This version is
available for systems running Windows 2000 and later.
