0.8.0

[0.8.0] - 2016-10-27

Fixed

• Link the correct version of libponyrt when compiling with --pic on Linux (issue #1359)

Added

• Runtime function pony_send_next. This function can help optimise some message sending scenarios.
• Floating point min_normalised. The function returns the smallest normalised positive number, as min_value used to do (issue #1351)

Changed

• Floating point min_value now returns the smallest negative number instead of the smallest normalised positive number (issue #1351)

0.7.0

[0.7.0] - 2016-10-22

Fixed

• Concatenate docstrings from case methods (issue #575).

Added

• TCP read and write backpressure hooks in TCPConnection (issue #1311)
• Allow TCP notifiers to cause connections to yield while receiving (issue #1343)

Changed

• break without a value now generates its value from the else branch of a loop instead of being an implicit break None.
• The for loop will now break out of the loop instead of continuing with the following iterations if Iterator.next errors.

0.6.0

[0.6.0] - 2016-10-20

Fixed

• Compiling ponyrt with Clang versions >= 3.3, < 3.6.

• Crash in the runtime scheduler queues

Added

• DTrace and SystemTap support - use=dtrace

Changed

• Replaces use=telemetry by DTrace/SystemTap scripts
• String.cstring() now always returns a null-terminated string
  (which may result in a copy) while cpointer() (also available on
  Array objects) returns a pointer to the underlying array as-is
  (issue #1309).

0.5.1

[0.5.1] - 2016-10-15

Fixed

• SSLConnection ignoring the sent notifier method (issue #1268)
• Runtime crash in the runtime scheduler queues (issue #1319)

0.5.0

Fixed

• Memory copy bounds for String.clone (issue #1289).
• Security issues in ProcessMonitor (issue #1180)
• SSLConnection bugs due to missing sentv notify method (issue #1282)

Added

• Iter class (issue #1267)
• read_until method on buffered.Reader (RFC 0013)
• format package (issue #1285)

Changed

• Stringable interface no longer involves formatting (issue #1285)
• Remove unused error types from ProcessError (issue #1293)
• HTML documentation for expanded union types now adds line breaks to improve readability (issue #1263)

0.4.0

[0.4.0] - 2016-09-26

Fixed

• Unexpected message ordering in ProcessManager (issue #1265)

Added

• TCP writev performance improvement by avoiding throwing errors

• Stop generating llvm.invariant.load for fields of val references.
• Embedded fields construction through tuples.

Added

• Improved error handling for files package.
• ProcessMonitor.expect
• ProcessNotify.created
• ProcessNotify.expect

Changed

• On Linux and FreeBSD, ponyc now uses $CC as the linker if the environment variable is defined.

0.3.2

[0.3.2] - 2016-09-18

Fixed

• The ponyc version is now consistently set from the VERSION file.
• Stop generating llvm.invariant.load intrinsic for "let" references, as these don't necessarily match the semantics of that intrinsic.

Changed

• The setversion and release commands have been removed from Makefile.
• LTO is again enabled by default on OSX
• make now builds a release rather than debug build by default

0.3.1

[0.3.1] - 2016-09-14

Fixed

• Make sure all scheduler threads are pinned to CPU cores; on Linux/FreeBSD this wasn't the case for the main thread.
