Sorry for the delay! Stefano finished all the coding for this beta over
a week ago and I've just been too backed up on my lousy contract to put
the build together :) It may be downloaded today from
http://projectmoto.org/moto_0_20_0_eng_a.tar.gz ! For those that
haven't been playing around on the moto_opo branch (now merged back
into the main trunk) this release adds Operator Overloading for
extension authors to moto ! And it provides a slew of new overloaded
operations to the utility classes you can try out!
So instead of this:
Object o = stab.get("foo")
you can say this:
Object o = stab["foo"]
and instead of this:
vector.put(27,"foo");
you can say this:
vector[27] = "foo";
Everybody be sure to thank Stefano for all his hard work bringing this
killer new feature to moto!
There are a few changes that are not backwards compatible to previous
releases. Specifically Intset and Stringset have been renamed IntSet
and StringSet respectively. I figure its best to do this sort of
housekeeping now ... sorry if I broke anybody's code :) Shay, I
remember you had some method names you wanted to change for consistency
as well, let me know what those are and I'll try and get tose changes
in.
Anyway, here is the full list of changes included in this beta!

New Features (Stefano!)
- Added support for extension authors to overload operators in moto
