|  |  | There won't be an update this weekend. I'm reworking the object system a 
bit, the new syntax will look something like:
OBJECT_KIND OBJECT_NAME = OBJECT_PROTOTYPE.clone()|
                          OBJECT_PROTOTYPE.derive()|
                          load(FILENAME)
[{OBJECT_BLOCK}];
If OBJECT_KIND is something other than "object", only objects that are 
derived from, clones of, or delegate an object based on OBJECT_KIND are 
accepted. For example, if OBJECT_KIND is "stream", only objects that can 
be used as streams will be accepted. Since all objects are based on 
"object", using "object" will simply turn this checking off.
I've also made some changes to delegates and the "self" identifier, I'm 
still working on this.
I've also added a "reference" operator that will make an identifier 
refer to another variable. Currently the operator is ":=:". I'm debating 
whether or not to add a reference type...

Your post doesn't make any sense. I'm talking about CSDL...that's why 
the Subject line says "CSDL Status". CSDL isn't anywhere close to beta, 
and doesn't care about your clock. Were you thinking of POV-Ray 3.5?

It's off-topic for this thread but... Nope there won't be a beta of POV-Ray
3.5. They call it a "release candidate" instead. It's up by now.

  Yes.
  Of course "soon" is a pretty subjective term. It could be 2 weeks, it could
be 6 months (it would still be "soon" compared to how much time has been
spent on developing 3.5).

|  |  | I haven't really "discovered" CSDL either, I mean ... I know you're working
on it, Chris, and it sounds interesting with a mix between C and SDL.. If
the clever people start to use it.. But it's probably going to take some
time before I get familiar with the abilites and aims of this language.. I
don't know a cent about C.. and will it get established well enough .. only
time can tell.
Regards,
Hugo
