It’s been a big week in Pony world for new ponylang projects and releases. ponyc 0.34.1 has been released for users on glibc-based Linux platforms. We’ve also opened a new GitHub repo for collecting information relevant to Pony contributors at https://github.com/ponylang/contributors.
Ponyc 0.34.0 has been released!
Nightly builds of ponyc for FreeBSD 12.1 are available. pony-semver has moved into the ponylang organization. The past sync meeting discussed syntax changes for the call site of behaviours.
We return after a long absence with some very sad news.
