Latest News - 2013-06-30 - FreeMat 4.2 Released

We are pleased to annouce the release of FreeMat 4.2. This version includes a number of bug fixes and some cleaned up tests and documentation. Here is a brief list of changes:

  • FreeMat is now (hopefully) easier to build. The top level README.TXT includes instructions on how to build FreeMat on all three platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, and Mingw32).
  • Documentation has been migrated to doxygen.
  • A number of improvements have been made to the JIT back end.
  • 64-bit on all platforms!
It's not a long list, but given the nearly 2 years since the last release, 4.2 is an important one. Comments or problems should be reported to the mailing list or filed as bugs on the website.
