The latest kernel is S31. The S prefix indicates that the kernel is conformant
to the standards laid down in The Book of Shen, 4th edition .
The downloads include versions built with extensions which are documented by the developer.
Unless stated, all versions should support the features documented in The Book of Shen . We are
happy to point to new downloads posted in the newsgroup but we do insist on standards of reliability
in these ports. There is a folder of test programs in the sources for people to test their ports.
Any Shen implementation should pass these tests modulo any memory limitations of the platform.
Kernel Downloads
The source code and installation instructions for the kernel can be downloaded from here.

Useful Downloads.
The Standard Library
The most important is the standard library written by Mark Tarver, developed from
the closed source Shen Professional. This is documented in the 'Learn' section of
this site.
Editors
There have been several editors developed for Shen. Downloads exist for Emacs and Robert
Koeniger developed a version for Sublime.
Regex Parsing
Eric Schulte developed a
regex parser in
the manner of Perl for parsing large files.
Foreign Function Interface
Mark Tarver developed a
file-based FFI designed to work with the Shen instruction set
