. 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

function to core. - Make
backmatch
andbackref
more expressive in pegs. - Fix buggy

verb fromloop
macros. Instead, use the:in
verb which will now work on fibers as well as other data structures. - Define
next
,get
, andin

:all
keyword toev/read
andnet/read
to make them more likefile/read

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

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.

upscope
special form. os/execute
andos/spawn
can take streams for redirecting IO.- Add

parameters torun-context
. - Add
os/open
if ev is enabled. - Add
os/pipe
if ev is enabled. - Add

- 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
andnet/listen
. These functions break downnet/server
into it's essential parts and are more flexible. They also allow further improvements to these utility functions. - Various small bug fixes.

returns immediately. - Add
:x
flag to os/execute to raise error when exit code is non-zero. - Don't run
main
when flychecking. - Add
:n
flag tofile/open
to raise an error if file cannot be opened. - Fix import macro to not try and coerce everything to a string.

==
,not==
,order<
,order>
,order<=

next
function.next
now works on many different types, not just tables and structs. This allows for more generic data processing. - Fix thread module issue where sometimes decoding a message failed.
- Fix segfault regression when macros are called with bad arity.
1.6.0 - 2019-12-22
- Add
thread/
module to the core. - Allow seeding RNGs with any sequence of bytes. This provides
a wider key space for the RNG. Exposed in C as
janet_rng_longseed
. - 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
andeprinf
to be have likeprintf
andeprintf
. The latter two functions now including a trailing newline, like the other print functions. - Add nan?

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
andmath/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
prin
,eprint
,eprintf
andeprin
functions. The functions prefix with e print to(dyn :err stderr)

(before, they could only print to files.) Output can also
be completely disabled with
(setdyn :out false)
. printf
is now a c function for optimizations in the case of printing to buffers.
1.4.0 - 2019-10-14
- Add
quit
function to exit from a repl, but not always exit the entire application. - Add
update-pkgs
to jpm. - Integrate jpm with https://github.com/janet-lang/pkgs.git. jpm can now install packages based on their short names in the package listing, which can be customized via an env variable.
- 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.
1.3.1 - 2019-09-21
- 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
, andfreeze
to core. - Add
jpm run rule
andjpm rules
to jpm to improve utility and discoverability of jpm. - Remove
cook
module and movepath
module to https://github.com/janet-lang/path.git. The functionality incook
is now bundled directly in thejpm
script. - Add
buffer/format
andstring/format
format flagsQ
andq
to print colored and non-colored single-line values, similar toP
andp
. - Change default repl to print long sequences on one line and color stacktraces if color is enabled.
- Add
backmatch
pattern for PEGs. - jpm detects if not in a Developer Command prompt on windows for a better error message.
- jpm install git submodules in dependencies
- Change default fiber stack limit to the maximum value of a 32 bit signed integer.
- Some bug fixes with
jpm
- Fix bugs with pegs.
- Add
os/arch
to get ISA that janet was compiled for - Add color to stacktraces via
(dyn :err-color)
1.2.0 - 2019-08-08
- Add
take
anddrop
functions that are easier to use compared to the existing slice functions. - Add optional default value to
get
. - Add function literal short-hand via
|
reader macro, which maps to theshort-fn
macro. - Add
int?
andnat?
functions to the core. - 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
andJANET_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 inmodule/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 inmodule/paths
. - Add
module/expand-path
- Remove
module/*syspath*
andmodule/*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 tofiber/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 toall-bindings
andall-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.
