​
v0.6

The first public release. Tolk is a fork of FunC with iterative improvements. In 2024, a pull request for FunC v0.5.0 was submitted together with a roadmap for further development. Instead of merging it, it was forked. Tolk was first announced at TON Gateway in 2024. The released version was marked v0.6, indicating its relation to the FunC v0.5.
