Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

1.16.1 - 2021-06-09

  • Add maclintf - a utility for adding linting messages when inside macros.
  • Print source code of offending line on compiler warnings and errors.
  • Fix some issues with linting and re-add missing make docs.
  • Allow controlling linting with dynamic bindings :lint-warn, :lint-error, and :lint-levels.
  • Add -w and -x command line flags to the janet binary to set linting thresholds. linting thresholds are as follows:
    • :none - will never be trigger.
    • :relaxed - will only trigger on :relaxed lints.
    • :normal - will trigger on :relaxed and :normal lints.
    • :strict - will trigger on :strict, :normal, and :relaxed lints. This will catch the most issues but can be distracting.

1.16.0 - 2021-05-30

  • Add color documentation to the doc macro - enable/disable with (dyn :doc-color).
  • Remove simpler HTML docs from distribution - use website or built-in documentation instead.
  • Add compiler warnings and deprecation levels.
  • Add as-macro to make using macros within quasiquote easier to do hygienically.
  • Expose JANET_OUT_OF_MEMORY as part of the Janet API.
  • Add native-deps option to declare-native in jpm. This lets native libraries link to other native libraries when building with jpm.
  • Remove the tarray module. The functionality of typed arrays will be moved to an external module that can be installed via jpm.
  • Add from-pairs to core.
  • Add JPM_OS_WHICH environment variable to jpm to allow changing auto-detection behavior.
  • The flychecker will consider any top-level calls of functions that start with define- to be safe to execute and execute them. This allows certain patterns (like spork/path) to be better processed by the flychecker.

1.15.5 - 2021-04-25

  • Add declare-headers to jpm.
  • Fix error using unix pipes on BSDs.
  • Support .cc and .cxx extensions in jpm for C++ code.
  • Change networking code to not create as many HUP errors.
  • Add net/shutdown to close sockets in one direction without hang ups.
  • Update code for printing the debug repl

1.15.4 - 2021-03-16

  • Increase default nesting depth of pretty printing to JANET_RECURSION_GUARD
  • Update meson.build
  • Add option to automatically add shebang line in installed scripts with jpm.
  • Add partition-by and group-by to the core.
  • Sort keys in pretty printing output.

1.15.3 - 2021-02-28

  • Fix a fiber bug that occured in deeply nested fibers
  • Add unref combinator to pegs.
  • Small docstring changes.

1.15.2 - 2021-02-15

  • Fix peg integer reading combinators when used with capture tags.

1.15.0 - 2021-02-08

  • Fix gtim and ltim bytecode instructions on non-integer values.
  • Clean up output of flychecking to be the same as the repl.
  • Change behavior of debug/stacktrace with a nil error value.
  • Add optional argument to parser/produce.
  • Add no-core option to creating standalone binaries to make execution faster.
  • Fix bug where a buffer overflow could be confused with an out of memory error.
  • Change error output to file:line:column: message. Column is in bytes - tabs are considered to have width 1 (instead of 8).

1.14.2 - 2021-01-23

  • Allow JANET_PROFILE env variable to load a profile before loading the repl.
  • Update tracev macro to allow def and var inside to work as expected.
  • Use (dyn :peg-grammar) for passing a default grammar to peg/compile instead of loading default-peg-grammar directly from the root environment.
  • Add ev/thread for combining threading with the event loop.
  • Add ev/do-thread to make ev/thread easier to use.
  • Automatically set supervisor channel in net/accept-loop and net/server correctly.

1.14.1 - 2021-01-18

  • Add doc-of for reverse documentation lookup.
  • Add ev/give-supervsior to send a message to the supervising channel.
  • Add ev/gather and chan argument to ev/go. This new argument allows "supervisor channels" for fibers to enable structured concurrency.
  • Make -k flag work on stdin if no files are given.
  • Add flycheck function to core.
  • Make backmatch and backref more expressive in pegs.
  • Fix buggy string/split.
  • Add fiber/last-value to get the value that was last yielded, errored, or signaled by a fiber.
  • Remove :generate verb from loop macros. Instead, use the :in verb which will now work on fibers as well as other data structures.
  • Define next, get, and in for fibers. This lets each, map, and similar iteration macros can now iterate over fibers.
  • Remove macro eachy, which can be replaced by each.
  • Add dflt argument to find-index.
  • Deprecate file/popen in favor of os/spawn.
  • Add :all keyword to ev/read and net/read to make them more like file/read. However, we do not provide any :line option as that requires buffering.
  • Change repl behavior to make Ctrl-C raise SIGINT on posix. The old behavior for Ctrl-C, to clear the current line buffer, has been moved to Ctrl-Q.
  • Importing modules that start with / is now the only way to import from project root. Before, this would import from / on disk. Previous imports that did not start with . or / are now unambiguously importing from the syspath, instead of checking both the syspath and the project root. This is backwards incompatible and dependencies should be updated for this.
  • Change hash function for numbers.
  • Improve error handling of dofile.
  • Bug fixes in networking and subprocess code.
  • Use markdown formatting in more places for docstrings.

1.13.1 - 2020-12-13

  • Pretty printing a table with a prototype will look for :_name instead of :name in the prototype table to tag the output.
  • match macro implementation changed to be tail recursive.
  • Adds a :preload loader which allows one to manually put things into module/cache.
  • Add buffer/push function.
  • Backtick delimited strings and buffers are now reindented based on the column of the opening delimiter. Whitespace in columns to the left of the starting column is ignored unless there are non-space/non-newline characters in that region, in which case the old behavior is preserved.
  • Argument to (error) combinator in PEGs is now optional.
  • Add (line) and (column) combinators to PEGs to capture source line and column. This should make error reporting a bit easier.
  • Add merge-module to core.
  • During installation and release, merge janetconf.h into janet.h for easier install.
  • Add upscope special form.
  • os/execute and os/spawn can take streams for redirecting IO.
  • Add :parser and :read parameters to run-context.
  • Add os/open if ev is enabled.
  • Add os/pipe if ev is enabled.
  • Add janet_thread_current(void) to C API
  • Add integer parsing forms to pegs. This makes parsing many binary protocols easier.
  • Lots of updates to networking code - now can use epoll (or poll) on linux and IOCP on windows.
  • Add ev/ module. This exposes a fiber scheduler, queues, timeouts, and other functionality to users for single threaded cooperative scheduling and asynchronous IO.
  • Add net/accept-loop and net/listen. These functions break down net/server into it's essential parts and are more flexible. They also allow further improvements to these utility functions.
  • Various small bug fixes.

  • Add :x flag to os/execute to raise error when exit code is non-zero.
  • Don't run main when flychecking.
  • Add :n flag to file/open to raise an error if file cannot be opened.

  • Update documentation.
  • Add var-
  • Add module/add-paths
  • Add file/temp
  • Add mod function to core.

  • Fix segfault regression when macros are called with bad arity.

1.6.0 - 2019-12-22

  • Add thread/ module to the core.

  • Fix issue in resume and similar functions that could cause breakpoints to be skipped.
  • Add a number of new math functions.
  • Improve debugger experience and capabilities. See examples/debugger.janet for what an interactive debugger could look like.
  • Add debug/step (janet_step in the C API) for single stepping Janet bytecode.
  • The built in repl now can enter the debugger on any signal (errors, yields, user signals, and debug signals). To enable this, type (setdyn :debug true) in the repl environment.
  • When exiting the debugger, the fiber being debugged is resumed with the exit value of the debug session (the value returned by (quit return-value), or nil if user typed Ctrl-D).
  • (quit) can take an optional argument that is the return value. If a module contains (quit some-value), the value of that module returned to (require "somemod") is the return value. This lets module writers completely customize a module without writing a loader.
  • Add nested quasiquotation.
  • Add os/cryptorand
  • Add prinf and eprinf to be have like printf and eprintf. The latter two functions now including a trailing newline, like the other print functions.

  • Add --test flag to jpm to test libraries on installation.
  • Add math/rng, math/rng-int, and math/rng-uniform.
  • Add in function to index in a stricter manner. Conversely, get will now not throw errors on bad keys.
  • Indexed types and byte sequences will now error when indexed out of range or with bad keys.
  • Add rng functions to Janet. This also replaces the RNG behind math/random and math/seedrandom with a consistent, platform independent RNG.
  • Add with-vars macro.
  • Add the quickbin command to jpm.
  • Create shell.c when making the amalgamated source. This can be compiled with janet.c to make the janet interpreter.
  • Add cli-main function to the core, which invokes Janet's CLI interface. This basically moves what was init.janet into boot.janet.
  • Improve flychecking, and fix flychecking bugs introduced in 1.4.0.
  • Add prin, eprint, eprintf and eprin functions. The functions prefix with e print to (dyn :err stderr)

  • Add varfn macro
  • Add compile time arity checking when function in function call is known.
  • Added slice to the core library.
  • The */slice family of functions now can take nil as start or end to get the same behavior as the defaults (0 and -1) for those parameters.
  • string/ functions that take a pattern to search for will throw an error when receiving the empty string.
  • Replace (start:end) style stacktrace source position information with line, column. This should be more readable for humans. Also, range information can be recovered by re-parsing source.

  • Fix some linking issues when creating executables with native dependencies.
  • jpm now runs each test script in a new interpreter.
  • Fix an issue that prevent some valid programs from compiling.
  • Add mean to core.
  • Abstract types that implement the :+, :-, :*, :/, :>, :==, :<, :<=, and :>= methods will work with the corresponding built-in arithmetic functions. This means built-in integer types can now be used as normal number values in many contexts.
  • Allow (length x) on typed arrays an other abstract types that implement the :length method.

1.3.0 - 2019-09-05

  • Add get-in, put-in, update-in, and freeze to core.

  • Remove process/args in favor of (dyn :args).
  • Fix bug with Nanbox implementation allowing users to created custom values of any type with typed array and marshal modules, which was unsafe.
  • Add janet_wrap_number_safe to API, for converting numbers to Janets where the number could be any 64 bit, user provided bit pattern. Certain NaN values (which a machine will never generate as a result of a floating point operation) are guarded against and converted to a default NaN value.

  • Add propagate function so we can "rethrow" signals after they are intercepted. This makes signals even more flexible.
  • Add JANET_NO_DOCSTRINGS and JANET_NO_SOURCEMAPS defines in janetconf.h for shrinking binary size. This seems to save about 50kB in most builds, so it's not usually worth it.
  • Update module system to allow relative imports. The :cur: pattern in module/expand-path will expand to the directory part of the current file, or whatever the value of (dyn :current-file) is. The :dir: pattern gets the directory part of the input path name.
  • Remove :native: pattern in module/paths.
  • Add module/expand-path
  • Remove module/*syspath* and module/*headerpath* in favor of dynamic bindings :syspath and :headerpath.
