  • backwards incompatible changes

    • [Builtin] __using__ callback triggered by use now receives just one argument. Caller information can be accessed in the __CALLER__;
    • [Module] Removed data functions in favor of unifying the attributes API;
    • [Kernel] Comprehensions syntax changed to be more compatible with Erlang behavior;
    • [Kernel] Compiled files now follow "MAIN-ModuleName" convention to solve issues with Erlang embedded mode;

  • deprecations

    • [Module] Module.add_compile_callback(module, target, callback) was deprecated in favor of the simpler Module.add_attribute(module, :before_compile, { target, callback }) API;
    • [File] File.read_info was deprecated in favor of File.stat;
    • [IO] IO.print was deprecated in favor of IO.write;
    • [Kernel] Deprecated __LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ in favor of __ENV__.line and __ENV__.function;
    • [Kernel] Deprecated in_guard in favor of __CALLER__.in_guard?;
    • [Kernel] refer is deprecated in favor of alias;

  • enhancements

    • [Range] Added a Range module with support to in operator (x in 1..3) and iterators;
    • [Enum] Enhanced Enum protocol to support Enum.count;
    • [Module] Added support to @before_compile and @after_compile callbacks. The first receives the module name while the latter receives the module name and its object code;
    • [Kernel] quote special form now supports line and unquote as options;
    • [Record] Allow Record[_: value] to set a default value to all records fields, as in Erlang;
    • [IEx] Functions c and m are available in IEx to compile and print available module information;
    • [Enum] Optimized functions when a list is given as collection;
    • [System] Added System.find_executable
    • [Builtin] Document the macro @ and allow attributes to be read inside functions;
    • [IO/File] Many improvements to File and IO modules;
    • [Macro] Added Macro.expand, useful for debugging what a macro expands to;
    • [Enum] Added find_index;
    • [Record] Records now provide a to_keywords function;
    • [Builtin] Added support to the %R sigil. The same as %r, but without interpolation or escaping. Both implementations were also optimized to generate the regex at compilation time;
    • [Kernel] Added __ENV__ which returns a Macro.Env record with information about the compilation environment;
    • [Kernel] Added __CALLER__ inside macros which returns a Macro.Env record with information about the calling site;

v0.5.0 (2012-05-24)

  • First official release
