# Factor 0.71 is out

    Hi everybody,

    Factor 0.71 adds a lot of new features:

    - Asynchronous I/O and socket support for the Windows port, by Mackenzie

    Straight.

    - Compiled code is now saved to disk in the image, resulting in a much

    faster (instant) startup time.

    - Type inference! Try something like:

    [ reverse ] infer .

    Have fun,

    Slava
