0.7.0

Added

• Inlined functions.
• Can pass configuration parameters from the build description to the compiler.
• Code selection based on configuration parameters.
• Code selection based on compiler version.
• (Experimental) extensible meta-compiler architecture.
• Export machinery to consume Lux code from host-language programs.
• Generalized/type-agnostic arithmetic.
• (Optional) faster (but unsafe) array-handling machinery.
• (Optional) faster (but unsafe) text-handling machinery.
• (Optional) faster (but unsafe) binary-handling machinery.
• Can now deploy releases with Aedifex.
• Extensible import syntax.
• Context-aware macros.
• Macro volabularies for more controlled macro-expansion.

Changed

• JVM compilation no longer relies on the ASM library.
• Friendlier syntax.
• No more automatic conversions of primitive types in JVM FFI.
• Now demanding mandatory loop names, instead of using default "again" name.
• Now taking into account both contravariance and covariance for mutable types in the standard library.
• Improved syntax for JVM interop.
• Programs are now explicit and first-class and the "main" program must be specified in an Aedifex project.lux file.
• Macros are first-class values.
• Pattern-matching now supports matching against globally-defined constants.
• All (normal) macros in a pattern are now automatically expanded.

Removed

Fixed
