Hello and welcome! I've redesigned the web site to make it easier to post updates. The purpose of this blog is to better communicate recent work and development on Liquid Studio.
The original Liquid Studio supported two types of tasks: CONSOLE and APP. The next generation of Liquid Studio 2010 supports six types of tasks: PROCESS, CONSOLE, SUPER CONSOLE, PROGRAM, APP, and APPLET.
A PROCESS is a task with a standard input stream, output stream, and error stream. They are generally used to create very simple "filters", that stream data in (usually text), perform some operations, and then stream data out. A new Shell object has been added that allows you to run processes and easily see the results. Also, a new preemptive multitasking kernel has been added, so that several processes can run at once. This allows multiple processes to be "piped" together so data flows from one process to the next, until it finally comes out at the end of the pipe, either to the Shell or a file.
A Beta version of Liquid Studio 2010 is coming soon. The intent of this release is to test the new multitasking kernel, processes, streams (pipes, files, etc.), and the Shell. I intend to release this beta within a week or so. Please note that it is a ROUGH beta. There is no documentation or installer. It simply unzips into a directory. I'll put this out so people can play with it while I work on the the documentation and the next beta release (which will test CONSOLE and SUPER CONSOLE).
