15:13 <TwoNotes> The link to bintray to fetch the Pony appimage gets a 404 error

15:18 <TwoNotes> The ubuntu 'apt' method seems to work, if version 0.25.0 is current

15:24 <slfritchie> 0.25.0 is indeed the current release.

15:26 <slfritchie> Ah, I see. The 1st link link in the https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/blob/master/README.md#linux-using-an-appimage-package-via-bintray section is broken. Ouch.

15:29 <slfritchie> TwoNotes: How about https://bintray.com/pony-language/ponyc-appimage/ponyc ?

15:32 <slfritchie> Or more specifically https://bintray.com/pony-language/ponyc-appimage/ponyc/0.25.0#files

15:36 <TwoNotes> I did not try those - I went right to the apt install method, since I am familiar with it

15:36 <TwoNotes> But those other links to bintray do seem to work

15:37 <slfritchie> Ah, good. I'll be making a pull request shortly to correct the bad link. Sorry about the hassle!

15:37 <TwoNotes> I suspect the language has changed snce the last time I compiled anything 2 years ago (groan)

15:43 <SeanTAllen> TwoNotes: indeed

15:43 <TwoNotes> I don't suppose there is a concise summary of changes....

15:52 <SeanTAllen> you can review the changelog going back to whenever you stopped

15:55 <SeanTAllen> there's also all the release notes: https://www.ponylang.io/categories/release

18:28 <TwoNotes> Calls to funs that can throw an exception now require a trailing "?". Am I correct that this is just to make sure the programmer knows what is going on, and there is no actual change to operation.

18:31 <vaninwagen> Yes, this is just for makibg things more explicit
