> Subject: APLX Version 5 released on all platforms
> 
> MicroAPL announces the commercial release of APLX Version 5 for all platforms - Windows, MacOS and Linux. APLX Server Editions, and 64-bit implementations, are also now available. 
> 
> You can download free-of-charge evaluation copies of APLX Version 5 from the MicroAPL website http://www.microapl.co.uk/apl.  
> 
> This is a quick summary of the new features introduced in Version 5 (see http://www.microapl.co.uk/apl/aplxv5.html for further details):
> 
> * Performance Profiling
> 
> Performance profiling can be used to find out which parts of your APL code take the most time to execute, or are executed most often, and so helps you to determine which functions to concentrate on when optimising performance. You can view the performance data in a number of different ways, and easily 'drill down' to get more detail on exactly where execution time is spent. APLX Version 5 introduces a very easy-to-use menu-based profiling facility, or, for more detailed control, a new system function for profiling. The results are available in tables, in graphical form, and as a detailed web page report
> 
> * Function, Workspace and Text Comparison
> 
> * A new Scrapbook and Idiom facility, to help you re-use code snippets and APL idioms.
> 
> * 'Mixins', an innovative extension to the object-oriented language features introduced in APLX v4. 
> 
> Mixins allow you to extend your user-defined classes so that, at run-time, they dynamically 'mix in' functionality (i.e. methods and properties, and perhaps events) from one or more other classes; these can be internal (user-defined, and written in APL), or external (.Net, Java, Ruby etc, or a built-in APLX system class).
> 
> * New external class interface: R Statistical Software.  
> 
> R is an open-source language and set of packages aimed principally at statistical analysis. It includes a huge library of pre-written statistical and mathematical routines, which can be accessed immediately and very conveniently from APLX. It also includes mathematically-oriented graphing facilities, and support for complex numbers.
> 
> * New Primitive Functions: Unique, Union, Intersection, Stop, Left, Pass, Right, and Not Match.
> 
> * XML Conversion Facilities
> 
> * Support for SVG Graphics
> 
> * Larger component files.
> 
> We hope that you will find like the new features, and look forward to hearing what you would like to see in APLX Version 6.
