v4.1
- New Just In Time (JIT) compiler -- the new version uses C++ as a backend for code generation, which means a much more substantial set of FreeMat code can now be JIT compiled. FreeMat uses CLANG-LLVM to provide run time compilation of the generated C++ code.
- Universal builds will no longer be officially generated for Mac OS X. However, we are working on a build for Mac OS X that can utilize Macports. This should enable PowerPC Mac OS X users to build their own FreeMat from sources.
- VTK Integration -- FreeMat gets a significant improvement in its ability to perform sophisticated renderings of multidimensional datasets by integrating the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). Simple FreeMat scripts can access nearly all of VTKs functionality.
- Octave Integration -- FreeMat 4.1 has the initial version of an Octave file parser. This parser will allow you to use your existing Octave scripts from within FreeMat. It is still a work in progress, but FreeMat 4.1 ships with a few Octave functions (like factor).
