Changelog

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

Unreleased

  • Add (dyn :executable) at top level to get what used to be (process/args 0).
  • Add :linux to platforms returned by (os/which).
  • Update jpm to build standalone executables. Use declare-executable for this.
  • Add use macro.
  • 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.

1.1.0 - 2019-07-08

  • Change semantics of -l flag to be import rather than dofile.
  • Fix compiler regression in top level defs with destructuring.
  • Add table/clone.
  • Improve jpm tool with git and dependency capabilities, as well as better module uninstalls.

1.0.0 - 2019-07-01

  • Add with macro for resource handling.
  • 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.
  • Compiled PEGs can now be marshaled and unmarshaled.
  • Change signature to parser/state
  • Add :until verb to loop.
  • Add :p flag to fiber/new.
  • Add file/{fdopen,fileno} functions.
  • Add parser/clone function.
  • Add optional argument to parser/where to set parser byte index.
  • Add optional env argument to all-bindings and all-dynamics.
  • Add scratch memory C API functions for auto-released memory on next gc. Scratch memory differs from normal GCed memory as it can also be freed normally for better performance.
  • Add API compatibility checking for modules. This will let native modules not load when the host program is not of a compatible version or configuration.
  • Change signature of os/execute to be much more flexible.

0.6.0 - 2019-05-29

  • file/close returns exit code when closing file opened with file/popen.
  • Add os/rename
  • Update windows installer to include tools like jpm.
  • Add jpm tool for building and managing projects.
  • Change interface to cook tool.
  • Add optional filters to module/paths to further refine import methods.
  • Add keyword arguments via &keys in parameter list.
  • Add -k flag for flychecking source.
  • Change signature to compile function.
  • Add module/loaders for custom loading functions.
  • Add external unification to match macro.
  • Add static library to main build.
  • Add janet/*headerpath* and change location of installed headers.
  • Let partition take strings.
  • Haiku OS support
  • Add string/trim, string/trimr, and string/triml.
  • Add dofile function.
  • Numbers require at least 1 significant digit.
  • file/read will return nil on end of file.
  • Fix various bugs.

0.5.0 - 2019-05-09

  • Fix some bugs with buffers.
  • Add trace and untrace to the core library.
  • Add string/has-prefix? and string/has-suffix? to string module.
  • Add simple debugger to repl that activates on errors or debug signal
  • Remove *env* and *doc-width*.
  • Add fiber/getenv, fiber/setenv, and dyn, and setdyn.
  • Add support for dynamic bindings (via the dyn and setdyn functions).
  • Change signatures of some functions like eval which no longer takes an optional environment.
  • Add printf function
  • Make pp configurable with dynamic binding :pretty-format.
  • Remove the meta function.
  • Add with-dyns for blocks with dynamic bindings assigned.
  • Allow leading and trailing newlines in backtick-delimited string (long strings). These newlines will not be included in the actual string value.

0.4.1 - 2019-04-14

  • Squash some bugs
  • Peg patterns can now make captures in any position in a grammar.
  • Add color to repl output
  • Add array/remove function
  • Add meson build support
  • Add int module for int types
  • Add meson build option
  • Add (break) special form and improve loop macro
  • Allow abstract types to specify custom tostring method
  • Extend C API for marshalling abstract types and other values
  • Add functions to os module.

0.4.0 - 2019-03-08

  • Fix a number of smaller bugs
  • Added :export option to import and require
  • Added typed arrays
  • Remove callable?.
  • Remove tuple/append and tuple/prepend, which may have seemed like O(1) operations. Instead, use the splice special to extend tuples.
  • Add -m flag to main client to allow specifying where to load system modules from.
  • Add -c flag to main client to allow compiling Janet modules to images.
  • Add string/format and buffer/format.
  • Remove string/pretty and string/number.
  • make-image function creates pre compiled images for janet. These images link to the core library. They can be loaded via require or manually via load-image.
  • Add bracketed tuples as tuple constructor.
  • Add partition function to core library.
  • Pre-compile core library into an image for faster startup.
  • Add methods to parser values that mirror the api.
  • Add janet_getmethod to CAPI for easier use of method like syntax.
  • Add get/set to abstract types to allow them to behave more like objects with methods.
  • Add parser/insert to modify parser state programmatically
  • Add debug/stacktrace for easy, pretty stacktraces
  • Remove the status-pp function
  • Update API to run-context to be much more sane
  • Add :lflags option to cook/make-native
  • Disallow NaNs as table or struct keys
  • Update module resolution paths and format

0.3.0 - 2019-01-26

  • Add amalgamated build to janet for easier embedding.
  • Add os/date function
  • Add slurp and spit to core library.
  • Added this changelog.
  • Added peg module (Parsing Expression Grammars)
  • Move hand written documentation into website repository.
