This page contains links to the current runtime distributions of Karma.


Runtime distributions do not include source code. New features in the API which appear in a pre-release may change again in a later pre-release or full release, without warning. The main reason pre-release runtime distributions are made available is so people can try various applications supplied with Karma. Runtime distributions typically come out once or twice a month, whereas full public releases (i.e. with source code) only come out once or twice a year.
There is a binary distribution for each different machine/Operating System. There is also a common "share" distribution file "karma.share-v1.6.26.tar.gz" which contains documentation, include files, font files and so on. The combination of a binary distribution and share distribution makes up a runtime distribution, and contains everything you need to run Karma applications and build your own applications using the Karma library. NOTE: the include files change from one runtime release to the next, so if you are developing your own Karma applications you *must* always get the share distribution as well as the binary distribution, otherwise your applications will not work properly.
Here are the files available for download:
