Stax 1.1.4

Stax 1.1.4

New instructions

• VN pushes NaN
• :] sets the bit(s) at the specified index(es) in an integer. It expects two intgers, or an integer followed by an array of integers.
• :[ unsets the bit(s) in the same way.
• :: toggles the bit(s) in the same way.

Instruction deprecations

• :T for getting truthy indices from an array has been deprecated. Use :1 instead.
• :C for inverting letter case is deprecated. Use :~ instead.
• Several instructions were shortened. The old ones continue to work, but have been deprecated.

Operation	New instruction	Old instruction
Exponentiation	#	|*
Bitwise And	I	|&
Bitwise Or	M	||
Bitwise Xor	S	|^
Scalar Minimum	t	|m
Sclara Maximum	T	|M

Note that array minimum maximum are still performed using |m and |M.

Behavior changes

• In the javascript targetted implementation, integers are now provided by ECMAScript bigints, where available. Otherwise, big-integer npm package is used. In the web UI, the current integer implementation is displayed near the build information.
• :~ sets the interior bits of an integer. It has been changed so that for non-positive inputs, it produces -1.
