I have posted a new build and updated the online docs.

Breaking Changes

• I have removed support for Dynamic Types per previous discussion
• The sql API was changed a bit since it relied on dynamic types (see docs on how to access Cols now)
• I renamed Int.minValue / maxValue to minVal / maxVal to be consistent with other APIs
• Removed Uuid.createdTicks and created
• Some methods were renamed and redesigned on WebOutStream

Bootstrap Build

I made a couple tweaks to how bootstrap building works. This should fix bootstrap issues we've seen on Unix boxes. Once I dug into it, I am not sure it was ever working correctly. But I got the bootstrap to work correctly on my Macbook. Give me a shout you Linux users and let me know how it works for you.

Bunch of new APIs

This build includes a lot of new APIs:

• Many enhancements to the time APIs
• Number classes now support for toLocale with pattern language (like Java but faster)
• You can now use toLocale with duck typing on just about any primitive
• Thread coalescing
• Str padding methods
• Map any and all
• Couple new FWT methods

See change log for the full list.

Do I have to use the 1.0.39 release in order to build 1.0.39 sources? I tried building latest sources from hg using 1.0.38 as the release runtime, but src/sys/build.fan wouldn't compile due to use of BuildPod.includeSrc which I guess didn't exist before 1.0.39?

Yes, as a general rule the latest build should always be used as your rel for building from the hg tip.
