I decided to go ahead and package up R5 tonight. There's really not much left that needs to be implemented - at least, nothing that's worth delaying the release.
As mentioned in my previous post, R6 will basically be just cleaned up and improved code from the VM perspective. The only really major "new" thing will be the IDE prototype app, which will ship with R6. That lets me shift gears a bit and really buckle down on the remaining fixes and improvements I want to make. Without the distraction of shiny new features to work on, I should hopefully manage to crank out R6 fairly quickly.
Release 5 is a huge deal all by itself, because it introduces so many new features and concepts. I'd really appreciate any feedback on the release - especially if you find cases where things don't work as expected. There should be plenty of sample code to get you started, and the syntax is very simple, so that shouldn't pose a huge challenge.
So, the moment you've all been waiting for: Epoch Release 5 (.RAR, 336KB)
