Ceylon and Ceylon IDE updated to M3.1

Ceylon M3.1 is now available for download, along with a simultaneous compatible release of Ceylon IDE. This release fixes several bugs in the recent M3 release of Ceylon, and introduces several enhancements.

To the Ceylon language module:

  • a whole suite of new operations for working with iterable objects and collections.

And to Ceylon IDE:

  • major improvements to the builder in Ceylon IDE, incorporating performance enhancements and better support for multi-project builds and for intercompilation of Ceylon with Java, and
  • cross-project refactoring.

Ceylon M3.1 is otherwise compatible with M3.

You can download the Ceylon command line distribution here:

Or you can install Ceylon IDE from Eclipse Marketplace or from our Eclipse update site.

Ceylon M3.1 and Ceylon IDE M3.1 require Java 7.
