Factor 0.91 has been released. Factor is portable, dynamically typed stack-based language, drawing from Forth, Common Lisp, Joy and Slate.

This release includes: a non-optimizing, JIT compiler that replaces the interpreter; an improved hash code algorithm for sequences; 'infer' word and optimizing compiler support for code which uses continuations; profiler improvements; more robust Windows CE native I/O; new and updated libraries; performance enhancements; and other changes.
