This is an exciting occasion for Avail, as Robbert is the first team member who is neither a resident of the United States or already known to The Avail Foundation's founding members. We choose to take this as evidence that Avail's sphere of influence is expanding. :) https://www.availlang.org/about-us/team/index.html https://www.availlang.org/about-us/team/index.html Fri, 19 Dec 2014 23:59:00 GMT Finally, file I/O seems to be working. https://www.availlang.org/about-us/blogs/mark/MvG001.html https://www.availlang.org/about-us/blogs/mark/MvG001.html Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:34:00 GMT The Founders Three retreat from the world in order to revitalize Avail, after months of apparent inactivity. https://www.availlang.org/about-us/blogs/todd/E0001.html https://www.availlang.org/about-us/blogs/todd/E0001.html Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:34:00 GMT The construction work on file I/O and iterators is still ongoing, but open again for read-bound traffic. https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E007.html https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E007.html Thu, 29 May 2014 04:05:00 GMT In response to the bug described in ticket 83, new versions of the Avail workbench's Windows installer and Unix bash script have been uploaded to the website and repository, respectively.

The first released version of Avail is "1.0.0 DEV 2014-04-28". This is the first major development milestone. It is not a production release, and is not recommended for mission-critical use. https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E006.html https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E006.html Thu, 6 Feb 2014 15:00:00 GMT It's been a busy few months, but now it's time to showcase the recent rework of Avail's most-used tool: The Builder. We need to put on our best (inter)face as we approach our release date and prepare to greet the world… https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E005.html https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E005.html Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:00:00 GMT I thought about calling this newsletter "So-so Things Come To Those Who Wait for a Few Days", but figured that the necrohippoflagellation had to stop somewhere. Since the release of the new website, there has been a dramatic upswing in site visits and new visitors. Hello, world! Thank you for visiting our humble site! Unfortunately our site is just that, humble, even though the Avail team isn't terribly humble about what it's doing. Speaking of all-encompassing greetings… https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E004.html https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/newsletters/E004.html Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:00:00 GMT Discover how to build a Reverse Polish notation expression language without writing a parser, expression nodes, operand stack, or interpreter.

(N.B.: This does not actually greet the entire world, which would be quite spooky and odd. Do not fear.) https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/learn/tutorials/rpn.html https://www.availlang.org/about-avail/learn/tutorials/rpn.html
