Version 0.8.2

0.8.2 Change list

Changes / improvements

• @weak now works with all declarations.
• Add @align for asm blocks to stack align them. Stack alignment is no longer default.
• Allow setting Windows subsystem directly.
• Add bitoffset and bitsize reflection properties to bitstruct members. #3219
• Add is_anonymous and is_nested to struct/union/bitstruct types and to members. #3223
• Improve error message on trying to cast char array to String. #3343
• Add Foo::is_generic(...), Foo::generic_qname and Foo::generic_args. #2909 #3329
• Add own, init and drop parameter annotations.
• constdef can now be generic.
• Libraries can now expose reusable target configurations via a templates map in their manifest, which projects reference from a target using template: "library/template". Properties from the template are loaded first and can be overridden by target-local settings.

Stdlib changes

• Atomic.compare_exchange added.
• Added array::contains_slice and array::index_of_slice.
• String.index_of and rindex_of will now accept finding empty strings.
• Add log::register_dynamic_category, for libraries that wish to define their own categories dynamically.

Fixes

• $stringify would sometimes include parens.
• Regression when destroying a BackedArenaAllocator in some cases #3332.
• "a::b:c:d:e:f:0" was not parsed as a valid ipv6 string.
• constdef vector with alias incorrectly lowered #3335.
• Compiler asserts on concatenating a struct to an untypedlist #3326.
• untypedlist was not detected as invalid in enum associated value type or as a pointer #3342.
• Regression using non-posix libc.
• Crash with an optional struct recursively defined with a function type. #3358
• Denormal results were not handle correctly by String.to_double().
• A float literal with an uppercase 'F' suffix would be a double instead of a float.
• Json serialization would not correctly handle unicode and \v. #3353
• Semantic checking was incorrect in the case of &a - &b where one or both are optional and the result isn't assigned.
• Regression on MacOS, breaking stack trace.
