This release is brought to you with over 1,100 commits by the following individuals:

Alex Vondrak, Benjamin Pollack, Daniel Nagel, Doug Coleman, John Benediktsson, Jon Harper, Michael T. Richter, and @PGGB.

Aside from bug fixes and various library improvements, I want to highlight the following changes:

  • Major compiler improvements (thanks Alex Vondrak!):
    • Global Value Numbering (disabled currently by default)
    • Parallel-Copy Semantics
  • Performance improvements to hashtables, hash-sets, heaps, and bloom-filters.
  • Support for Retina Displays on OS X
  • Greatly improved table gadget performance
  • PDF streams (and related PDF documentation)!
  • Speed up math comparisons
  • Support resize-window (thanks Jon Harper!)
  • New logo and icons for Factor
  • Added editor support for Textadept, Sublime Text, Geany, BBEdit, and XCode.

Some possible backwards compatibility issues:

  • Changed <groups>, <clumps>, and <circular-clumps> to use slices.
  • Removed <slicing-groups>, <slicing-clumps>, <slicing-circular-clumps>.
  • Renamed editors.notepadpp to editors.notepad++.
