- Enum values now can have attributes.
- Generic functions as function parameters are now supported: `fn f[T](x T, i int, f_ Fn[T]) T { `.
- Anonymous structs can no longer have attributes.
- Allow fixed array returns.
### Breaking changes
- `byte` deprecated in favor of `u8` (`byte` is automatically converted to `u8` by vfmt).

## V 0.3.3
*30 Jan 2023*
### Improvements in the language
- String interpolation simplified to just '${name}', enforced by vfmt, and updated in the entire code base.
- `[]` is now used for generics instead of `<>`.
- Various ORM fixes and improvements, including string interpolation support, type checks, fn calls in `where`.
- Accessing a pointer map value requires an `or {}` block outside `unsafe`.
- `math.vec` module for generic vector math including 2D, 3D, and 4D vector operations.
- `go foo()` has been replaced with `spawn foo()` (launches an OS thread, `go` will be used for
upcoming coroutines instead).
- vfmt now supports `// vfmt off` and `// vfmt on` for turning off the formatting locally for short snippets of code.
Useful for keeping your carefully arranged matrices intact.
- fast.vlang.io fixes & improvements, new server.
- New official IntelliJ plugin: https://intellij-v.github.io.
- Lots of fixes in the type checker.
- Match branch range expressions with consts: `match x { const1...const2 {} }`
- Builtin stb_image.h used by gg has been updated to the latest v2.28.
- Lots of new language documentation, a nicer table of contents.
- Improved documentation for most of the vlib modules
- All of vlib has been updated to use separate Option/Result types.
- To avoid confusion, all references in the code and documentation to `Optional` have been replaced with `Option`.
- `gg.Context` pipeline has more effects, including the `additive` effect.
- Hot code reloading via `[live]` is now supported in imported modules, not just the main module.
- VFS support in the builtin `sqlite` module; `sqlite.get_affected_rows_count()`.
- `make.bat` & `v up` improvements on Windows.
- Syntax sugar for map inits without needing explicit casts for interfaces: `all.children := { "abc": rect, "def": ui.rectangle()}`.
- `$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, $Function] {`.
- New `v.reflection` module for runtime reflection.
- Improved `os.mv()`, which now works consistently even across different windows drives/mount points.
- `string.trim_indent()`, useful with multi line strings, that start/end with new lines and indentation.
- Reduced memory consumption in the `crypto` modules.
- Installation instructions for using V on NixOS.
- TeamCity test runner support via `v -test-runner teamcity foo_test.v`.
- Better `make` support for OpenBSD.
- Much improved experience for `v install pcre` on Windows (it now bundles its own .c files, so it compiles cleanly, even if the platform does not have another pcre package installed).
- Improved vweb stability under load.
- Improved `pg` compatibility with older PostgreSQL versions before 2014.
- Native backend: operator support for floats, multi return.
- V can now be compiled with tcc on latest macOS and Apple Silicon.
- CI optimizations for faster runs.
- Official V UI library is now licensed under MIT.
- Deprecated `math.util` and `math.mathutil` have been removed.
- Builtin type names can no longer be used as identifiers.
- Generic `typeof[T]()`, `sizeof[T]()`, `isreftype[T]()` functions.
- New official AdventOfCode repo with AOC solutions, also added to CI.
- New time format support: `time.format_rfc3339()`.
- `encoding.html.escape()`.
- Deprecated `-error-limit` in favour of the documented `-message-limit` option.
- Maps now support aliased keys.
- Operator overloading now works with reference types.
- Generic struct inits with nested generic structs and generic optional types are now allowed.
- During array creation, `len:` is required when using default values for the array.
- Optimized one byte `[]u8` arrays creation.
- Int signedness mismatch is now checked: `cannot use literal signed integer as u8`.
- New comptime features for fields: `field.is_<field>`, `field.is_alias`, `field.is_enum`.
- More detailed timings in `v -show-timings`.
- `$for in` works with alias types.
- `v new <name> 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`.
