- Update to 1.2.1
New Features
* Add `fennel.install` function to the API for adding the
searcher
* Add missing `table?` predicate to fennel API to go with
`list?`, `sym?`, etc
Bug Fixes
* Skip autogenerated locals in repl locals saving to avoid
exceeding local limit
* Ensure `(values)` consistently evaluates to zero values
* Fix bug preventing new macros from shadowing other macros
* Ensure macros use stable `pairs` table traversal for
reproducible builds
- Changes in 1.2.0:
New Forms
* Add `fcollect` macro for range "comprehension"
New Features
* Make `include` splice modules in where they're used instead of
at the top
* Add `ast-source` function to API to get file/line info from
AST nodes
* Show errors using terminal control codes instead of arrow
indicator
* Parser now includes column information (byte-based) in AST
nodes
* For greater consistency, add `&into`/`&until` to certain
looping constructs
Bug Fixes
* Duplicate table keys no longer crash the compiler
* Don't print stack trace for compiler errors in built-in macros
* Fix an issue with native modules in `--compile-binary`
* Improve argument handling so unused arguments get passed on to
script
* Fix a bug where macros modifying table literals would emit
incorrect output
* Fix a bug in the REPL where parser errors display the error
message as `nil`
* Fix a bug when `nil` were emitted by `unquote` in a macro,
and the macro was not compiled correctly because the resulting
list length was calculated incorrectly
* Fix a REPL bug where `,doc m.foo` did not resolve multisym to
macro for macro modules loaded as macro table via
`(import-macros m :my.macro.module)`
Changes in 1.1.0:
New Forms
* Add `match-try` macro for chained pattern matching for steps
which might fail
New Features
* The `fennel.parser` function now accepts a string in addition
to an iterator
* The `accumulate` macro can now accumulate over multiple values
* The `fn` special now accepts a metadata table in place of a
docstring
* The `,reload mod` repl command can now reload macro modules
Bug Fixes
* Fix an issue where built-in macros would modify their AST
arguments
* Fix a bug where `--skip-include` would mistakenly emit a
warning
* Remove hex string escapes to preserve PUC Lua 5.1 compatibility
* Prevent errors resolving the target of certain repl commands
from crashing
* Fix a bug where disabling the compiler sandbox broke module
require scope
* Fix a bug where certain specials wouldn't short-circuit in
`and`/`or`
* Fix a bug where symbols bound to `nil` did not show up in REPL
completion
Changes and Removals
* Deprecate the `granulate` and `string-stream` functions in the
API
* Deprecate the `global` form in favor of using the `_G` table
