The next version of Andromeda is around 80% ready and I hope I can release it this year.

The version v0.2.0 which I am working on around 4 months will be a giant leap for the professional sc2 modding community. The language will include the following changes:

• Added many new features. (See new specification, link below)
  
• The language will use the new features of the galaxy editor (Andromeda code can now be embedded into custom script areas in the trigger editor.)
  
• Some suboptimal features were removed or replaced by better ones
  
• The whole development is now backed up by a large number of JUnit test cases (over 100 at the moment and still rising quickly) that allow me to check for bugs before releasing a new version. This will make the upcoming versions much more stable. I have even implemented a test system that automatically starts SC2 with a compiled test map and checks if the genereted code shows the anticipated runtime behaviour. This test system is called from the JUnit tests, so I can even check the semantics of the generated code fully automatically.
  
• The code was almost fully reworked and has a much cleaner architecture now, which allows for faster updates in the future.
  

Since many new features were added (and some removed) I have written an updated version of the Andromeda specification, so you can already read about the new features. Also the parts of the specification that haven't changed were rewritten to be better understandable. You can read the updated specification here.
Stay tuned for the release! When it is done, almost all features I wanted in the language are implemented. The only features that are not yet in are Mixins, Interfaces, a supertype Object for all class types and stuff connected to these features.

We have decided to merge our wiki with Staredit.net to get a better, more powerfull wiki with more people working on it. Nothing else changed. You can access the wiki via our head banner or GalaxyWiki.net. Our old wiki will be available here untill we have transfered all important articles.
