John Lam has released revision 93 to SVN. This new release now passes 1541/2468 specs (62%). Click here to see the output of all the tests.

The highlights from the commit logs :

  • r89 Minor updates to Ruby to support hosting in ASP.NET
  • r93 A bunch of String specs have were re-enabled since we no longer crash when parsing them
  • A bunch of regex functionality (still using .NET regex) is enabled - =~, sub,gsub etc. are now implemented in this release.
  • There was a split in the way the DLR is organized. Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll is the DLR, and Microsoft.Scripting.dll are where libraries like the Math libraries for the DLR will live from now on.
