ZPE 1.14.5, with the help of ZPEX, can now build native binaries for each platform. It's really easy to do as well. Simply run the usual compile method and add the native flag to it:
zpe -c stdAlgorithms.yas -o stdAlgorithms --native
Then, to run, just double-click on the file it outputs. You'll no longer need ZPE to run these binaries, which makes it easier to use.
A couple of things to note about native binaries:
- Firstly, they are platform-specific. This means they only work on the operating system and architecture on which they were compiled.
- Secondly, they are large. Compared with a ZPE-compiled program, they are approximately 70 MB larger.
- Thirdly, they are very fast. They use ZPEX's native capabilities, so they are very fast at executing.
This is obviously a big thing for ZPE.
