Factor 0.78 has been released. Factor is a dynamic language with a postfix syntax, offering support for object-oriented programming, inspired by languages such as Forth, Common Lisp, Joy, K and Slate.

This release composes consecutive stack operations into a single shuffle expression, stores the return stack pointer in a register on x86, includes more efficient compilation of non-recursive inline words, and fixes several PowerPC issues.
