[9] What is the latest version of FWEB?

The latest version of FWEB is 1.30a - in October 1993, version 1.40-beta came out. The present version of 1.30a is considered to be stable. The following quote from READ_ME-1.40 illustrates the present status of 1.40

``It contains some bug fixes and various new features, described below. However, because this version initiates some major upgrades and has been inadequately debugged, it is NOT RECOMMENDED for new users or for large programming projects already dependent on a stable FWEB environment. It is my hope that some experts will play with this version and report their difficulties, so that a stable version will evolve.''

JAK: ``However, given the fragmented state of my time, in some sense they're all beta.''

The latest version can be retrieved via anonymous FTP (see Information on FTP) as described in Question 8.
