We're pleased to announce Morpho 0.6.2, which is primarily a maintenance release and incorporates a number of bugfixes and improvements.
Morphopm package manager
Alongside this release, we are pleased to announce a new package manager for morpho called morphopm, which makes installation of morpho packages significantly easier for users. Morphopm is available on github and can also be installed via homebrew:
brew tap morpho-lang/morpho
brew install morpho-morphopm
Benchmarks
The benchmarks folder, which used to contain a number of basic benchmarks for morpho, has been moved to a new repository with several new benchmarks added. We will be using these to continue to improve morpho's performance.
Ternary operator
Morpho now provides the ternary operator similar to other C-family languages:
var a = (b < c ? b : c)
Minor fixes
- Keywords can now be used as method and property labels.
- The povray module now produces silent output on linux if the quiet option is set.
- apply() now works properly with metafunctions.
- Bugfixes in the Sparse class.
- Improvements to resource locator.
- Fixes to multiple dispatch with variadic parameters.
- Fixes to Range class.
- Morpho running the test suite now passes valgrind memory checker.
- meshtools now explicitly checks that the Mesh generated isn't too large.
