Folks,

We are pleased to announce that the newest version of the Quorum
Programming Language, version 5.0, is now live. This release includes major
enhancements, including digital signal processing libraries, automatic
physics simulation for 2D and 3D games, and a new compile-to-JavaScript
mode, which allows Quorum to run multimedia applications online.

Along with technical improvements to the language, Quorum 5 marks
significant changes to the curriculum and materials for learners. This
includes a redesigned website created through many iterative design
revisions with teachers and students. We also spent considerable time with
analytics data looking at how people are using the site, in order to make
it easier for people to find what they want. Lessons and tutorials have
been reorganized from the ground up because of this work. Finally, many
lessons can be run directly on the website, including multimedia
applications. This uses Quorum's new JavaScript mode behind the scenes and
should make it easier for learners, teachers, and everyone else to try
Quorum out. As always, Quorum also runs in NetBeans.

For more information on the new release, please visit
