A first v0.1 preview of cefHtmlSnapshot is now available at https://github.com/EricGrange/cefHtmlSnapshot.
This is a command-line utility that aims to take image (PNG, JPG) or PDF snapshots of an HTML website or file, and fill in the “void” left by the abandon of Qt webkit tools like phantomjs or wkhtml2pdf. While those old utilities still work, they do not support modern web standards, and any tidbit of ECMA6 will have them stumble.

Committed to daNeuralNet a first working version of a JIT for matrix-vector multiplication that relies on the FMA instruction set (Fused Multiply and Addition).
This version generates code that is up to twice faster than the OpenBLAS for matrix sizes up to CPU cache size (100×100 to 200×200 usually), and maintains a marginal lead for larger sizes, though those are bound by memory bandwidth. The performance profile is similar on both AMD and Intel CPUs.
A test version of SamplingProfiler 64bit is available here (3.2 MB).
It has only been tested with 64bit binaries compiled by Delphi 10.3 and detailed map files. It should work with other Delphi version, (TD32 and other debug information formats have not been tested yet).
There other known issues with stack traces from DLLs, so it is rough around the edges but should be functional.
Associate Arrays (aka dictionary) are now in experimental form in the DWScript repository.
A few months after its launch, BeginEnd.net is now seeing about 25k queries every day for almost 500 unique visitors, and it’s time for a few polls to help me gauge things!
Support for floating point modulus has been added to DWScript, it extends the “mod” operator to accept floats.
With the closing of Google Code, I will be moving my projects, a priori to BitBucket.
The new URL is https://bitbucket.org/egrange/dwscript
If you have Issues in the Google Code Issue Tracker that matter to you, please copy-paste them to the BitBucket Issue Tracker.
Here is a summary of recent DWScript changes, the major one is a change in operator precedence to something similar to Delphi and FreePascal.
Other changes are related to sets and bug fixes.
