Useful for keeping your carefully arranged matrices intact. -- fast.vlang.io fixes & improvements, new server. -- New official IntelliJ plugin: https://intellij-v.github.io. -- Lots of fixes in the type checker. - Match branch range expressions with consts: `match x { const1...const2 {} }` -- Builtin stb_image.h used by gg has been updated to the latest v2.28. -- Lots of new language documentation, a nicer table of contents. -- Improved documentation for most of the vlib modules -- All of vlib has been updated to use separate Option/Result types. -- To avoid confusion, all references in the code and documentation to `Optional` have been replaced with `Option`. -- `gg.Context` pipeline has more effects, including the `additive` effect. - Hot code reloading via `[live]` is now supported in imported modules, not just the main module. -- VFS support in the builtin `sqlite` module; `sqlite.get_affected_rows_count()`. -- `make.bat` & `v up` improvements on Windows. - Syntax sugar for map inits without needing explicit casts for interfaces: `all.children := { "abc": rect, "def": ui.rectangle()}`. - `$embed_file()` fixes, including variable args support. - `none` fixes: no longer allowed to be used as a separate type, `dump()` support, not allowed inside `unsafe`. -- Much cleaner eof checks in `os`: refactor `err == IError(os.Eof{})` to `err is os.Eof`. - Const functions: `const y = term.yellow`, then `println(y('abc'))`. -- Lots of work on `x.json2`, the pure V json encoder, soon to become official. -- Improved compile time checks, like `$if x is Type {`; `$if T in [$Array, $Struct, $Alias, $Function] {`. -- New `v.reflection` module for runtime reflection. -- Improved `os.mv()`, which now works consistently even across different windows drives/mount points. -- `string.trim_indent()`, useful with multi line strings, that start/end with new lines and indentation. -- Reduced memory consumption in the `crypto` modules. -- Installation instructions for using V on NixOS. -- TeamCity test runner support via `v -test-runner teamcity foo_test.v`. -- Better `make` support for OpenBSD. -- Much improved experience for `v install pcre` on Windows (it now bundles its own .c files, so it compiles cleanly, even if the platform does not have another pcre package installed). -- Improved vweb stability under load. -- Improved `pg` compatibility with older PostgreSQL versions before 2014. -- Native backend: operator support for floats, multi return. -- V can now be compiled with tcc on latest macOS and Apple Silicon. -- CI optimizations for faster runs. -- Official V UI library is now licensed under MIT. -- Deprecated `math.util` and `math.mathutil` have been removed. - Builtin type names can no longer be used as identifiers. - Generic `typeof[T]()`, `sizeof[T]()`, `isreftype[T]()` functions. -- New official AdventOfCode repo with AOC solutions, also added to CI. -- New time format support: `time.format_rfc3339()`. -- `encoding.html.escape()`. - Deprecated `-error-limit` in favour of the documented `-message-limit` option. - Maps now support aliased keys. - Operator overloading now works with reference types. - Generic struct inits with nested generic structs and generic optional types are now allowed. - During array creation, `len:` is required when using default values for the array. - Optimized one byte `[]u8` arrays creation. -- Int signedness mismatch is now checked: `cannot use literal signed integer as u8`. -- New comptime features for fields: `field.is_`, `field.is_alias`, `field.is_enum`. -- More detailed timings in `v -show-timings`. -- `$for in` works with alias types. -- `v new web` for quickly scaffolding new web projects. -- All public functions in the `hash` and `encoding.base32` modules have been documented. - Recursive aliasing is no longer allowed (e.g. `type Alias = map[string]Alias`). -- `sqlite`, `pg`, `mysql` have been moved to `db.sqlite`, `db.pg`, `db.mysql`. + +### Breaking changes +- `[]` is now used for generics instead of `<>`. +- Accessing a pointer map value requires an `or {}` block outside `unsafe`. + +### Checker improvements/fixes +- Lots of fixes in the type checker. +- Int signedness mismatch is now checked: `cannot use literal signed integer as u8`. + +### Standard library +- `math.vec` module for generic vector math including 2D, 3D, and 4D vector operations. +- Builtin stb_image.h used by gg has been updated to the latest v2.28. +- All of vlib has been updated to use separate Option/Result types. +- To avoid confusion, all references in the code and documentation to `Optional` have been replaced with `Option`. +- `gg.Context` pipeline has more effects, including the `additive` effect. +- Much cleaner eof checks in `os`: refactor `err == IError(os.Eof{})` to `err is os.Eof`. +- Lots of work on `x.json2`, the pure V json encoder, soon to become official. +- New `v.reflection` module for runtime reflection. +- Improved `os.mv()`, which now works consistently even across different windows drives/mount points. +- `string.trim_indent()`, useful with multi line strings, that start/end with new lines and indentation. +- Reduced memory consumption in the `crypto` modules. +- Official V UI library is now licensed under MIT. +- Deprecated `math.util` and `math.mathutil` have been removed. +- New time format support: `time.format_rfc3339()`. +- `encoding.html.escape()`. +- All public functions in the `hash` and `encoding.base32` modules have been documented. - New `crypto.pem` module. - New `map.reserve()` method. +### Web +- Improved vweb stability under load. +### ORM +- Various ORM fixes and improvements, including string interpolation support, type checks, fn calls in `where`. + +### Database drivers +- VFS support in the builtin `sqlite` module;
