If you're a real fanatic you've alrady downloaded Pike version 0.2. :)
Here's a brief description of what is done:
o Threads support! (on systems with POSIX threads)
o Support for loading C code dynamically (on systems with dlopen)
o Pike class library now includs fifos, queues and string_buffers
o configure scripts now has some nice --without-xxx options
o configure scripts now handles taking CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS from the environment
o gmp module should now compile even on BSDI :)
o a bunch of bugfixes (sprintf, mappings, etc.)
As usual you can get it from ftp://ftp.infovav.se/pub/pike. A new feature is
that you can get the source in hzip format as well as gzip. hzip is available
from ftp://ftp.infovav.se/pub/hubbe/hzip.tar.
There is also an example of threads and dynamic module loading in
ftp://ftp.infovav.se/pub/pike/contrib/smap.tar.gz.
