[Caml-list] ReactiveML 1.09.01

[Louis Mandel <louis.mandel@lri.fr>]

We are happy to announce the new release of ReactiveML: http://reactiveml.org.

ReactiveML is a language similar to OCaml extended with a built-in notion of parallel composition. It is based on the reactive synchronous model, a kind of cooperative multithreading with a global notion of time.

The language is well suited to program applications with a lot of parallel processes which communicate and synchronize a lot such as video games or simulation problems.

ReactiveML is compiled into plain OCaml code and thus can link or be linked to any OCaml code.

This new version includes among others the following features:
- a new application to the programming of mixed music: http://reactiveml.org/reactive_asco
- the possibility to execute non-instantaneous code at top-level
- a new standard library which includes in particular:
    Module Rml_list: process iterators on lists
    Module Rml_process_manager: combinators for suspension, reconfiguration, ...
    Module async: launching asychronous computations
- a new preemption construct with multiple handler to easily define automata.

The full list of changes is available at http://reactiveml.org/distrib/changes.

ReactiveML can be installed from the sources:
  http://reactiveml.org/distrib/rml-1.09.01-2013-09-10.tar.gz
