In order to let people play with the latest changes to typecheck as soon as they’re available, some new goodies have been added to the site:

  1. The development version of the website is now available for perusal. Why would you want this? Because the development version contains the docs for all the spiffy new features that will be coming out in the next release.

    The devel version of the site (yes, the whole site) can be found at http://oakwinter.com/code/typecheck/dev/.

  2. In addition, the latest SVN revision (for trunk/) is now available in handy tarball form. The URL for the tarball will stay consistent, even when the tarball’s contents change. To figure out which revision you have, check the included REVISION file.

The latest change that you might want to play with is the new assert_type function. This is intended for in-code type checks, which can be a good deal more efficient than the traditional decorator-based checks. See the function’s docs for more details and examples.
