I found that at the last minute I made a small stupid typo in the 1.6b1 release I did Friday. This prevented the Jurtle_Workspace from being created and...
Looking through the past messages it appears that I am doing the bulk of the posting. I do want to clarify that this group is not just for my announcements....
Hello Bill, I an a new member of this group and I joined it in anticipation of teaching a Java course to middle school students next fall. I have downloaded...

Bill, When I installed v1.6, I went to the new workspace directory in Jurtle and it indicated that most of the classes were not compiled (italic style). When I...
That's strange. I just tried it and it worked for me. I wonder if it was some temporary glitch. You might try quiting Jurtle, deleting the workspace and...
I think the problem here is that when the Jurtle_Workspace is being populated, the .java files are getting copied after their .class counterparts giving them a...
Deleting Jurtle_Workspace seems to have no effect on the menu item options for me - it just makes a new one next time Jurtle starts up, same appearance as...
... I will fix this in a new point release. ... How embarrassing! That preferences field never actually got hooked up to anything. I had intended to remove...

Bill, Thanks for 1.6.1 update. In the food for thought category, it might be useful to have a stack trace show up either in the console or in a separate tab so...
... Good suggestion. I have changed the Turtle code to print the entire stack trace rather than just the error. For non-Turtles the full stack trace is...
Well, I hate having known bugs in my software, so I rolled 1.6.2 to fix a display corruption problem that happened if you created a new class while on the...
