I get that error also when I try to download IDL (not just 8.0, it
happens frequently). Trying again, switching between updating and
evaluating, etc, seems to get it to work.

Thanks for your write up!
It really takes 15 seconds to add 200 elements to a hash list????
[ based on your final chart. ]

I'm still waiting for approval to download 7.1, which was submitted on
the 21st May. So don't hold your breath. I emailed ITTVIS to report the
problem, they said my account was now fixed and I would be able to
download. Wrong, it still requires approval, and I'm still waiting...

I cannot download the new version for trial.
It seems that I must wait for the approval from ITT VIS.
But I do not know how long it will take.
Is there anybody who has downloaded it and is using it?
Best regards,

I'll again go through a few of the new features of the release on my
site. The first topic is the new list and hash types:

Very cool.
I do wonder why the overloading syntax is implemented like so:
function mgffhdf5file::_overloadBracketsRightSide, ....
rather than something like
function mgffhdf5file::_overload[], ....
?
Is there a BracketsLeftSide overload option? If so, that could have been
function mgffhdf5file::_overload[]=, ....
Similarly for the usual operators. Why
function myclass::_overloadPlus, left, right
instead of
function myclass::_overload+, left, right
?
(and, yes, I am thinking of the ruby way).
Given the fact that there is an "_overload" prefix, I would've thought it easy to correctly parse everything between
that and the next "," to correctly interpret the operator or operation to be overloaded.
BTW, does IDL 8.0 have the ability to create user defined operators?
cheers,
paulv

Here's the article on other language changes, i.e., negative subscripts,
!null, automatic garbage collection, and other changes to object syntax:
