2020-01-25 Notes on the status of this site

This page hasn't been maintaned for quite a long time and isn't updated regularly anymore. Links to resources related to Modula-3 tend to vanish without notice now and then. The source repositories containing the PM3 and CM3 code distributions have been moved to github.com/modula3 several years ago. As the web pages containing this site haven't followed and a maintainer still has to be found, elego Software Solutions GmbH is still keeping this VM running as a landing page for Modula-3. Anybody wishing to improve this situation is welcome to contact me.

• CM3 5.8 RC5 archives
• download page
• release notes
• installation instructions

2009-08-05 CM3 5.8 Release Candidate 2 available

2008-08-01 Hudson-based CM3 Continuous Integration and Regression Test Framework

Continuous integration for all changes on the release branch has been added via a distributed Hudson setup. After the release is completed, this continuous build and test system will be used for mainline development.

2008-02-02 CM3 Regression Test Framework and Daily Snapshots

A regression test framework based on Tinderbox has been set up. Currently only two target platforms are build nightly, but more will be added. See the Tinderbox Page for details.

There also is a package status page based on recent build results.

Nightly build installation archives for several platforms are also available.

2007-06-26 m3.org moved to modula3.org

The Modula-3 home has moved from www.m3.org to www.modula3.org, which we believe is both a more intuitive name and also consistent with the modula3 newsgroup. The server for m3.org will be taken down soon; till then it provides a simple forwarding service to this page.

2006-10-25 CM3 5.4.0

The CM3 5.4.0 release is now available from the download page. The release announcement didn't make it into the 5.4.0 download archives, but is available online.
