GitHub Release Notes for Version 1.5.0 (2024-02-09)
🎉 Release Theme: "Quoting Freedom & Precedence Harmony!"
Greetings, code adventurers and syntax sorcerers! As we step into the fresh vibes of 2024, we're thrilled to present version 1.5.0, a release that celebrates the art of expression (literally) and brings balance to the force... of operator precedence.
✨ New Features: Express Yourself with Quoted Strings
- Quoted Strings Are Here: Ever felt constrained by the tyranny of naming conventions? Yearned to name your functions and symbols with the wild abandon of an artist? Wait no more! Introducing quoted strings in expressions. Now, you can encapsulate any name in single quotes, liberating you to include spaces, special characters, and the essence of your creativity. Picture this:
var expression = "a + 'b c'"– where'b c'is not just a name, but a statement.
🐛 Bugfix: Making - and ^ Play Nice
- Issue #49 Fixed: Ah, the tale of the negative exponent not knowing its place. Thanks to the sharp eyes and swift coding of @FabianNitsche, we've corrected a cheeky bug where the exponentiation operator (^) was getting a little too ahead of itself, overshadowing the unary minus (-). Now, both operators share the spotlight, ensuring that expressions like
2^-2are evaluated with the grace and accuracy they deserve.
📚 Why This Upgrade Rocks?
This update isn't just about new features and fixes; it's a homage to the freedom of expression and the meticulous dance of mathematics. By introducing quoted strings, we're breaking down the walls of conventional syntax, allowing your code to truly reflect your unique style. And with the operator precedence bug squashed, your calculations will be as precise as a Swiss watch.
🙌 Shout-Out to the Community

So, embrace the freedom, celebrate the precision, and let your code sing with version 1.5.0. Happy coding, and remember: in our world, even the smallest character or operator can make the biggest difference!
P.S.: Keep those suggestions, bug finds, and creative uses coming. Our journey together is what makes this adventure so exciting! 🚀🔧
