Pan Compiler v10.1 Available

Release 10.1 of the Pan language compiler is available. The release has been tested against the GRIF configuration, but careful testing on your own configuration is recommended before putting it into production.

Highlights

• Release artifacts are available from the GitHub releases page. The artifacts will no longer be posted on SourceForge.
• Functions file_exists, which determines if an external file exists, and substitute, which substitutes named variables in a string template, have been added.
• Dynamic bind and valid statements are permitted. These will substitute the value of named global variables in the format ${vname} in the path. This allows the path to be determined dynamically at build time.
• Large number of bug fixes.

Feedback on the release is welcome via the Quattor mailing list or GitHub.
