Rimstone 5.0.0 released
Version 5.0.0 of RimStone brings an exciting new feature: sorting of arrays. Here is the list of changes:
- Arrays can now be sorted, and this includes string, double and number arrays. sort-array is a high performance sorting statement that lets you sort arrays using any of the following algorithms: Quick sort, Timsort, Merge (sort in place), Heap sort, Merge sort, Shell sort, Binary insertion sort, Selection sort, Grail sort, Sqrt sort or Bubble sort. You can also sort in ascending or descending order.
- Removed legacy Golf support for obsoleted constant and utilities names (which was announced about 3 months ago).
- "status" clause has been removed in read-array statement as most users reported not needing it. As for "delete" clause, it's simply sets strings to empty, numbers to 0 and doubles to 0.0 - you can of course set those to any values you wish to mark such array elements "deleted".
The reason for bumping to 5 from 4 is the slight change in read-array and removing obsolete Golf support, as stated above.
