[dylan] Preparing for 2012.1 release...

Hello all,

While I did want to get the new release out last week, we ended up having a
lot of issues to resolve with the build on some platforms and making things
release-friendly.

However, I think we're now at a good state, so I've tagged the tree and
done some release builds where I can:

Mac OS X, Lion and later:


http://opendylan.org/downloads/opendylan/2012.1/opendylan-2012.1-x86-darwin.tar.bz2

Linux (x86), should run on anything, I hope:


http://opendylan.org/downloads/opendylan/2012.1/opendylan-2012.1-x86-linux.tar.bz2

Linux (x86-64), should run on anything, but needs to have a system Boehm
installed:


http://opendylan.org/downloads/opendylan/2012.1/opendylan-2012.1-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2

Some important notes:


   - I did not do any FreeBSD builds as I don't have a working FreeBSD
   build environment.
   - I haven't done a Windows build yet as I haven't really done a release
   build before that I'd want to distribute. I've started working on reviving
   my Windows build environment though.
   - The Mac OS X build doesn't run on Snow Leopard any longer. If this is
   an issue, let's discuss that and perhaps fix it for 2013.1.
   - There is no Mac OS X build for PowerPC any longer. If this is an
   issue, let's discuss that.
   - There hasn't been any work on FreeBSD on x86_64 in the last year (in
   git) and some key files aren't present. If there's no intention of
   supporting this, I will not list it on the downloads page going forward.


If anyone has the time to try these builds out within the next 20 hours or
so, that'd be great. I plan on posting a news item about the release and
updating the download page in about 20-22 hours unless I hear otherwise. It
would also be great if FreeBSD or Windows builds materialized before then,
but if not, so be it.

 - Bruce
