Factor 0.87 has been released. Factor is portable, dynamically typed stack-based language, drawing from Forth, Common Lisp, Joy and Slate.

This release includes: an -e command line option for evaluating a snippet of code on startup, a -quiet command line option, a reorganization of the source tree, a new 'string-lines' word to split a string along line separators, the compilation of the 'float>fixnum' and 'fixnum>float' words as inlined assembly, the removal of the full-text help search, UI improvements, new and updated contributed libraries, plus other changes.
