Raw Blame History

v0.X.X - XX/XX/2018

Changes affecting backwards compatibility

Breaking changes in the standard library

  • re.split for empty regular expressions now yields every character in the string which is what other programming languages chose to do.

Breaking changes in the compiler

Library additions

  • re.split now also supports the maxsplit parameter for consistency with strutils.split.
  • Added system.toOpenArray in order to support zero-copy slicing operations. This is currently not yet available for the JavaScript target.

Library changes

Language additions

Language changes

  • The importcpp pragma now allows importing the listed fields of generic C++ types. Support for numeric parameters have also been added through the use of static[T] types. (#6415)

Tool changes

  • jsondoc2 has been renamed jsondoc, similar to how doc2 was renamed doc. The old jsondoc can still be invoked with jsondoc0.

Compiler changes

  • The VM's instruction count limit was raised to 1 billion instructions in order to support more complex computations at compile-time.
