8th is a secure, cross-platform, robust, cost-effective, extensible, and modern programming language for mobile, desktop, server and embedded application development.  It is a derivative of Forth. Custom versions are also available.

This release contains many improvements from 1.1.4, and so many from 1.0 that it's hard to list them all.  We have also added a paid support option for those who would like us to give them higher priority.

It is always important when installing a new version, to do 8th bin/inst.8th (or the equivalent on Windows) to ensure that all the bits and pieces are properly installed.

If you don't have 8th already, get it here; you can also view our video on how to install.
