Dave Herman has prepared some new binary builds of the the ES4 RI and made them available for download at:

www.ecmascript.org/download.php

Please report any bugs you find in this release with the ES4 bug tracking system, and we'll endeavor to fix them:

bugs.ecmascript.org

This release covers the cumulative set of fixes, enhancements, and adjustments to track spec discussions since October. Full details can be found in the bug tracker, but the summary entry in the HISTORY file follows:

Newly supported constructs:
- Super expressions
- Like types
- Wrappers (preliminary)
- Slice expressions
- ES4::Map.<K,V>
- ES4::Vector.<T>
- ES4::hashcode()
- ES4::DecimalContext, new decimal pragma
- uint32ops::*
Corrected behavior:
- Overhaul type system to conform to "valleyscript" model
- Strictness pragmas
- Cyclic type term prevention
- Type parameter scoping
- Property enumeration order
- Builtin prototype chains
- Builtin constructors
- Builtin conversions
- Builtin non-magic wrapper types
- Prototype property shadowing
- Scope rules for let expressions
- Arithmetic rules
- Function self-name binding
- Union types use "|" rather than ","
- Regexp character class bug
- Hoisting bug
- Property-enumerability bug
- Nullability enforcement
- REPL error handling

Dave Herman has prepared some new binary builds of the the ES4 RI and made them available for download at:

If anyone has had trouble running the OSX Intel binary, I've replaced it with a version that should fix the issues. (It's now statically linked against libgmp so it shouldn't care whether/where you may have the dynamic libraries for GMP installed.)

If anyone with an Intel Mac has the opportunity to try this out, it would be helpful to know whether it's working for you.

Thanks,

If anyone has had trouble running the OSX Intel binary, I've replaced it 
with a version that *should* fix the issues. (It's now statically linked 
against libgmp so it shouldn't care whether/where you may have the 
dynamic libraries for GMP installed.)

If anyone with an Intel Mac has the opportunity to try this out, it 
would be helpful to know whether it's working for you.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

I had downloaded the version from yesterday but hadn't tried running
it yet. So, I tried, got the error, went to download your newly
uploaded version, tried with that and it's working fine now. So,
thumbs up.
