Lexon Distribution 1.1 "Dazza"
Release Note
This is the Lexon Distribution 1.1 “Dazza” of 2/25/25 based on Lexon 0.3.
It is the most consistent collection of Lexon software and documentation at this point. It is an update of Distribution 1, including an improved compiler, and can be obtained at lexon.org/distribution/1.1
Lexon distributions are intended as the best starting point to learn, use and contribute to Lexon. Updates will be published on lexon.org/releases. It is recommended to start out with the newest distribution and to ignore files and documents that are released in-between.
Lexon is expected to develop towards its 0.5 feature set that focusses on DAOs. The 0.4 and 0.5 releases might bring some breaking changes while being 90%+ backwards compatible.
