[Jprogramming] J902-beta-b available

[Eric Iverson]

J902-beta-b is available for windows/macos/linux.

If you have already installed 902-beta-a, then it is easy to upgrade:
   load'pacman'
   'upgrade'jpkg'jengine'

If you have not started with the 902 beta cycle, now is the time:

Questions, problems, etc should be addressed to the beta forum.

The big advance in beta-b is the use of SLEEF library for elementary
functions.

SLEEF stands for SIMD Library for Evaluating Elementary Functions. For
details see:
https://sleef.org

Compare the following in 901 and 902-beta-b:
   a=: ?.1e6#0
   10 (6!:2) '1 o. a'
   10 (6!:2) '7 o. a'

The 9!:14'' result has info that is not included in JVERSION. New fields
indicate the compiler and whether SLEEF is used or not.
