History[edit]
One of the first K3 manuals was released in 1998.[1] K3 remains the only K dialect to have its own official manual that serves as a complete formal definition for other non-commercial implementations like Kona.
Along with the K3 manual's release, KX Systems released the database kdb+ and along with it, the Q language.[2]
K3 is no longer supported by KX Systems, and binaries of K3 are no longer available.[3]
