  • v0.19.4 Changes

    October 07, 2016
    • ➕ Added support for OpenBSD (thanks @wmoxam and @ysbaddaden)
    • 🛠 More iconv fixes for FreeBSD (thanks @ysbaddaden)
    • 🚀 Changed how require works for the upcoming shards release (this is backwards compatible). See https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/2788
    • ➕ Added Atomic and exposed all LLVM atomic instructions to Crystal (needed to implemented multiple-thread support)
    • ➕ Added Process.executable_path (thanks @kostya, @whereami and @ysbaddaden)
    • ➕ Added HTML.unescape (thanks @dukex)
    • ➕ Added Char#+(Int) and Char#-(Int)
    • 🛠 A few bug fixes

  • v0.19.3 Changes

    September 30, 2016
    • 🚀 crystal eval now accepts some flags like --stats, --release and --help
    • ➕ Added File.chown and File.chmod (thanks @ysbaddaden)
    • ➕ Added Time::Span.zero (useful for doing sum) (thanks @RX14)
    • ➕ Added docs to OAuth and OAuth2
    • 🛠 Several bug fixes

  • v0.19.2 Changes

    September 16, 2016
    • Generic type variables no longer need to be single-letter names (for example class Gen(Foo) is now possible)
    • ➕ Added syntax to denote free variables: def foo(x : T) forall T. The old rule of single-letter name still applies but will be removed in the future.
    • ✂ Removed the restriction that top-level types and constants can't have single-letter names
    • ➕ Added @[Extern] attribute to mark regular Crystal structs as being able to be used in C bindings
    • 🐎 Faster Char#to_s when it's ASCII: this improves the performance of JSON and CSV parsing
    • 🚀 crystal spec: allow passing --release and other options
    • crystal spec: allow running all specs in a given directory
    • 👍 crystal playground: support custom workbook resources (thanks @bcardiff)
    • crystal playground: standard output now understands ANSI colors (thanks @bcardiff)
    • ➕ Added many more macro methods to traverse AST nodes (thanks @BlaXpirit)
    • 0️⃣ Error messages no longer include a type trace by default, pass --error-trace to show the full trace (the trace is often useless and makes it harder to understand error messages)
    • 🛠 Several bug fixes

  • v0.19.1 Changes

    September 09, 2016
    • Types (class, module, etc.) can now be marked as private.
    • ➕ Added WeakRef (thanks @bcardiff)
    • 🛠 Several bug fixes

  • v0.19.0 Changes

    September 02, 2016
    • (breaking change) Added select keyword
    • (breaking change) Removed $global variables. Use @@class variables instead.
    • (breaking change) Heredoc now ends when the matching identifier is found, either followed by a space or by a non-identifier
    • (breaking change) Assignment to a local variable inside an assignment to that same variable is now an error
    • (breaking change) Type names like T, T1, U, etc., are now disallowed at the top level, to avoid conflicts with free variables
    • (breaking change) Type lookup (Foo::Bar::Baz) had some incorrect behaviour that now is fixed. This can break existing code that relied on this incorrect behaviour. The fix is to fully qualify types (::Foo::Bar::Baz)
    • (breaking change) In relationships like class Bar < Foo(Baz) and include Moo(Baz), all of Foo, Moo and Baz must be defined before that point (this was not always the case in previous versions)
    • (breaking change) Removed the deprecated syntax x as T
    • (breaking change) Removed block form of String#match
    • (breaking change) Removed IO#read_nonblock
    • (breaking change) Int#/ now performs floored division. Use Int#tdiv for truncated division (see their docs to learn the difference)
    • ➕ Added support for LLVM 3.8 (thanks @omarroth)
    • || now does type filtering
    • Generic inheritance should now work well, and (instantiated) generic modules can now be used as the type of instance variables
    • NamedTuple can now be accessed with strings too (thanks @jhass)
    • Base64 can now encode and decode directly to an IO (thanks @kostya)
    • BigInt now uses GMP implementation of gcd and lcm (thanks @endSly)
    • 👍 ECR now supports removing leading and trailing whitespace (<%-, -%>)
    • HTTP::Request#path now never returns nil: it fallbacks to "/" (thanks @jhass)
    • String#tr(..., "") is now the same as String#delete
    • 👍 tool hierarchy now supports --format json (thanks @bmulvihill)
    • ➕ Added Char#ascii?

    • ➕ Added Process.exists?, Process#exists? and Process#terminated? (thanks @jhass)
    • ➕ Added Process.exec (thanks @jhass)
    • Added Slice#copy_to, Slice#copy_from, Slice#move_to and Slice#move_from (thanks @RX14)
    • ➕ Added URI#== and URI#hash (thanks @timcraft)
