	               Gwydion Dylan 2.3.4 Release
		 Advanced Free Software Development Tools

30 Nov 2000 -- Gwydion Dylan is a portable, optimizing Dylan<tm>
compiler. It was originally written by the Gwydion Group at CMU and is now
maintained by volunteers.  Eventually, we'd like Gwydion Dylan to become a
top-notch tool for building complicated applications written in a mix of
Dylan and C.

Dylan looks a bit like Pascal, C or Java. In general, experienced
programmers should be able to learn the basics in a week and pick up the
rest as they go along. Novice programmers should find Dylan no harder to
learn than Java (although less documentation is available). Dylan supports
imperative, functional, and object-oriented programming. It also provides
many LISP-like features, including multi-methods, hygienic macros, closures
and optional dynamic types, while at the same time supporting
high-performance compiled code.

Release 2.3.4 completes our list of supported platforms with the
additions of MacOS X and Win32/cygnus. For MacOS, a wrapper of the
Carbon API and usage examples are available. Bugs have been fixed, and
documentation has been updated.
