areAs mentioned in my previous Show email, we have a couple on things we wanted
to share with people. We demonstrated them at the show, but for those that
couldn't attend, here are the details. These are both work-in-progress
features.
1) A dynamic recompiler targeting the ARM64 instruction set. Whilst at an
early stage this already shows an impressive speed gain over the
interpreter version on the same hardware (at the show we used a
Raspberry Pi 4 with 64bit Linux on).
2) A multi-machine configuration and launcher program. This is ideal for
people who have multiple copies of RISC OS installed, e.g. for testing
software under different versions.
Here is a screenshot:

Both these items are unfinished but are being worked on, we don't have any
details as to when they will be completed or which release they will be in.
As things progress further it may help us to ask you to help with the
testing of these items, we will post here again at that time.
