Tom 2.6 has been released. It adds pattern matching primitives constructs to Java, C and Caml.

This release includes: a new alternative syntax for '%match' that is based on atomic constraints and can be combined with the '&&' and '||' operators, algebraic rules that can have any conjunction or disjunction of rules, a new syntax for strategies, simpler dispatching, compiler speedups, improved code generation, and other changes.
