### 0.18.0 (2016-06-14)

- **(breaking change)** `IniFile` was renamed to `INI`, and its method `load` renamed to `parse`
- **(breaking change)** `Process.getpgid` was renamed to `Process.pgid`
- **(breaking change)** An `Exception`'s backtrace is now set when it's raised, not when it's created: it's `backtrace` method raises if it's not set, and there's `backtrace?` to get it as a nilable array
- **(breaking change)** `dup` is now correctly implemented in all types. `clone` is not defined by default, but some types in the standard library do. Also check `Object#def_clone`
- **(breaking change)** the `method_missing` macro only accepts a single argument: a `Call` now. The form that accepted 3 arguments was removed.
- **(breaking change)** the `delegate` macro must now be used like `delegate method1, method2, ..., methodN, to: object`
- **(breaking change)** `Hash#each_with_index` and `Hash#each_with_object` now yield a tuple (pair) and an index, because `Hash` is now `Enumerable`. Use `do |(key, value), index|` for this.
- **(breaking change)** `{"foo": 1}` denotes a named tuple literal now, not a hash literal. Use `{"foo" => 1}` instead. This also applies to, for example `HTTP::Headers{...}`
- **(breaking change)** Extra block arguments now give a compile-time error. This means that methods that yield more than once, one time with N arguments and another time with M arguments, with N < M, will always give an error. To fix this, add M - N `nil` fillers on the yield side (this makes it more explicit that `nil` was intended to be a block argument value)
- **(breaking change)** `OpenSSL::SSL::Context` and `OpenSSL::SSL::Socket` can no longer be used directly anymore. Use their respective subclasses `OpenSSL::SSL::Context::Client`,
  with `OpenSSL::SSL::Socket::Client`, `OpenSSL::SSL::Context::Server` with `OpenSSL::SSL::Socket::Server`.
- **(breaking change)** TLS server and client sockets now use sane defaults, including support for hostname verification for client sockets, used by default in `HTTP::Client`.
- **(breaking change)** The `ssl` option was renamed to `tls` in `HTTP::Client`, `HTTP::Server`, `HTTP::WebSocket`, `OAuth::Consumer`, `OAuth::Signature` and `OAuth2::AccessToken`.
- The `dns_timeout` setting in a few classes like `HTTP::Client` and `TCPSocket` is now ignored until a next version supports a non-blocking `getaddrinfo` equivalent
- `OpenSSL::SSL::Socket::Client` supports server name indication now.
- The `build` command was renamed to `compile`. The `build` command is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
- The `--cross-compile` flag no longer takes arguments, use `--target` and `-D`
- Added a `Union` type that represents the type of a union, which can have class methods
- Methods, procs and lib functions that are marked as returning `Void` now return `Nil`
- Methods that are marked as returning `Nil` are not checked for a correct return type, they always return `nil` now
- When `as` fails at runtime it now includes which type couldn't be cast
- Macros can now be used inside `lib` and `enum` declarations
- Macros can now be declared inside enums
- Macro calls can now be used as enum values
- Generic types can now include a splatted type variable. This already existed in the language (`Tuple(*T)`, `Proc(*T)`) but there was no syntax to define such types.
- Class variables are now inherited (only their type, not their value). They are now similar to Ruby class instance variables.
- Splats in `yield` can now be used
- Splat in block arguments can now be used.
- Added block auto-unpacking: if a method yields a tuple and a block specifies more then one block argument, the tuple is unpacked to these arguments
- String literals are now allowed as external method arguments, to match named tuples and named arguments
- `sizeof` and `instance_sizeof` can now be used as generic type arguments (mostly useful combined with `StaticArray`)
- `Hash`, `HTTP::Headers`, `HTTP::Params` and `ENV` now include the `Enumerable` module
- `Proc` is now `Proc(*T, R)`
- `Tuple(*T).new` and `NamedTuple(**T).new` now correctly match the given `T` ([#1828](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/1828))

- `JSON` parsing now correctly handle floats with many digits
- `JSON.mapping` and `YAML.mapping` now also accept named arguments in addition to a hash literal or named tuple literal

- `HTTP::LogHandler` logs exceptions now (thanks @jhass)
- `HTTP::ErrorHandler` does not tell the client which exception occurred by default (can be enabled with a `verbose` flag) (thanks @jhass)
- Several bug fixes

### 0.17.4 (2016-05-26)

- Added string literals without interpolations nor escapes: `%q{...}` and `<<-'HEREDOC'`. Also added `%Q{...}` with the same meaning as `%{...}`.

- Fixed wrong codegen for tuples/named tuples merge with pass-by-value types
- Formatter: fixed incorrect format for named tuple type

### 0.17.0 (2016-05-17)

- **(breaking change)** Macro defs are now parsed like regular methods. Enclose the body with `{% begin %} .. {% end %}` if you needed that behaviour
- **(breaking change)** A union of two tuples of the same size results in a tuple with the unions of the types in each position. This only affects code that later tested a tuple's type with `is_a?`, for example `tuple.is_a?({Int32, String})`
- **(breaking change)** Method arguments have now a different semantic. This only affects methods that had a splat argument followed by other arguments.
- **(breaking change)** The syntax `{foo: 1, bar: 2}` now denotes a `NamedTuple`, not a `Hash` with symbol as keys. Use `{:foo => 1, :bar => 2}` instead

### 0.16.0 (2016-05-05)

- **(breaking change)** Instance, class and global variables types must be told to the compiler, [either explicitly or through a series of syntactic rules](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/type_inference.html)
- **(breaking change)** Non-abstract structs cannot be inherited anymore (abstract structs can), check the [docs](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/structs.html) to know why. In many cases you can use modules instead.
- **(breaking change)** Class variables are now initialized at the beginning of the program (before "main"), make sure to read the docs about [class variables](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/class_variables.html) and [main](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/the_program.html)
- **(breaking change)** Constants are now initialized at the beginning of the program (before "main"), make sure to read the docs about [constants](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/constants.html) and [main](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/the_program.html)
- **(breaking change)** When doing `crystal program.cr arg1 arg2 arg3`, `arg1`, `arg2` and `arg3` are considered arguments to pass to the program (not the compiler). Use `crystal run program.cr arg1 ...` to consider `arg1` a file to include in the compilation.
- **(breaking change)** `Int#**(Int)` now returns an integer, and raises if the argument is negative. Use a float base or exponent for negative exponents to work.
- **(breaking change)** `Slice#to_s` and `StaticArray#to_s` now include their type name in the output
- Support for FreeBSD and musl libc has landed (thanks @ysbaddaden)
- The `.crystal` directory is now created at `$HOME/.cache/crystal` or `$HOME/.crystal` (or others similar), with a fallback to the current directory
- `crystal doc` and `crystal tool hierarchy` are now much faster. Additionally, the hierarchy tool shows types for generic types, and doesn't show instantiations anymore (wasn't very useful)
- `!` now does type filtering (for example you can do `!x || x.bar`, assuming `x` can be `nil` and the non-nil type responds to `bar`)
- Named arguments can now match any argument, even if they don't have a default value. Make sure to read the [docs](http://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/default_and_named_arguments.html)
- The `as` operator can now be written as a method: `exp.as(Type)` in addition to `exp as Type`. The old syntax will be removed in a few releases.

- `ENV`: allow passing `nil` as a value to delete an environment variable
- `Hash`: allow `Array | Tuple` arguments for `#select`, `#select!`, `#reject` and `#reject!`

- Added some `Complex` number methods and many math methods, refactors and specs (thanks @scidom).
- Inheriting generic classes is now possible.
- Creating arrays of generic types (i.e.: `[] of Thread`) is now possible.
- Allow using an alias in a block type (i.e.: `alias F = Int32 ->`, `&block : F`).
- `json_mapping` macro supports a simpler syntax: `json_mapping({key1: Type1, key2: Type2})`.

- Spec: added `be > ...` and similar matchers for `>=`, `<` and `<=`.
- Added `File::file?` and `File::directory?`.
- CSV parser can parse from String or IO.

- Added `TimeSpan#ago`, `TimeSpan#from_now`, `MonthSpan#ago` and `MonthSpan#from_now`.

### 0.5.3 (2014-11-06)

- Spec: when a `should` or `should_not` fail, the filename and line number, including the source's line, is included in the error message.
- Spec: added `-l` switch to be able to run a spec defined in a line.
- Added `crystal spec file:line`
- Properties (property, setter, getter) can now be restricted to a type with the syntax `property name :: Type`.
- Enums can be used outside `lib`. They inherit `Enum`, can have methods and can be marked with @[Flags].
- Removed the distinction between `lib` enums and regular enums.
- Fixed: it was incorrectly possible to define `class`, `def`, etc. inside a call block.
- The syntax for specifying the base type of an enum, `enum Name < BaseType` has been deprecated. Use `enum Name : BaseType`.
- Added `Array#<=>` and make it comparable to other arrays.

### 0.5.2 (2014-11-04)

- `crystal eval` without arguments reads from standard input.
- Added preliminar `crystal deps` command.
- `__FILE__`, `__DIR__` and `__LINE__`, when used as def default arguments, resolve to the caller location (similar to [D](http://dlang.org/traits.html#specialkeywords) and [Swift](https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=15))
- Allow `as` to determine a type even if the casted value doesn't have a type yet.
- Added `is_a?` in macros. The check is against an [AST node](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/src/compiler/crystal/syntax/ast.cr) name. For example `node.is_a?(HashLiteral)`.
- Added `emit_null` property to `json_mapping`.
- Added `converter` property to `json_mapping`.
- Added `pp` in macros.
- Added `to_pretty_json`.

- Added `Time` and `TimeSpan` structs. `TimeWithZone` will come later.
- Added `Array#fill` (thanks @Exilor).
- Added `Array#uniq`.
- Optimized `File.read_lines`.

- Allow `\` at the end of a line.
- Allow using `if` and `unless` inside macro expressions.
- Allow marking a `fun/def` as `@[Raises]` (useful when a function can potentially raise from a callback).

- `OAuth2::Client` supports getting an access token via authorization code or refresh token.
- Consecutive string literals are automatically concatenated by the parser as long as there is a `\` with a newline between them.
- Many bug fixes.

- New syntax for array/hash-like classes. For example: `Set {1, 2, 3}` and `HTTP::Headers {"content-type": "text/plain"}`. These just create the type and use `<<` or `[]=`.
- Optimized Json parsing performance.
- Added a [CSV builder](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/0.5.1//src/csv.cr#L13).
- XML reader can [parse from an IO](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/0.5.1//src/xml/reader.cr#L10).
- Added `Dir::glob` and `Dir::Entries` (thanks @jhass)
- Allow `ensure` as an expression suffix.

- Define backtick (`) for command execution.
- Allow string literals as keys in hash literals: `{"foo": "bar"} # :: Hash(String, String)`
- Allow `ifdef` as a suffix.
- Integer division by zero raises a `DivisionByZero` exception.
- Link attributes are now only processed if a lib function is used.
- Removed the `type Name : Type` syntax (use `type Name = Type` instead).
- Removed the `lib Lib("libname"); end` syntax. Use `@[Link]` attribute instead.
- Fixed some `require` issues.
- String representation includes length.
- Upgraded to LLVM 3.5.

### 0.4.4 (2014-09-17)

- Fixed [#193](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/193): allow initializing an enum value with another's one.
- The `record` macro is now variadic, so instead of `record Vec3, [x, y, z]` write `record Vec3, x, y, z`.
- The `def_equals`, `def_hash` and `def_equals_and_hash` macros are now variadic.
- The `property`, `getter` and `setter` macros are now variadic.
- All String methods are now UTF-8 aware.
- `String#length` returns the number of characters, while `String#bytesize` return the number of bytes (previously `length` returned the number of bytes and `bytesize` didn't exist).
- `String#[](index)` now returns a `Char` instead of an `UInt8`, where index is counted in characters. There's also `String#byte_at(index)`.
- Removed the `\x` escape sequence in char and string literals. Use `\u` instead.
- `initialize` methods are now protected.
- Added `IO#gets_to_end`.
- Added backticks (`...`) and `%x(...)` for command execution.
- Added `%r(...)` for regular expression literals.
- Allow interpolations in regular expression literals.
- Compiling with `--release` sets a `release` flag that you can test with `ifdef`.

- A C type can now be declared like `type Name = Type` (`type Name : Type` will be deprecated).
- Now a C struct/union type can be created with named arguments.
- New attributes syntax: `@[Attr(...)`] instead of `@:Attr`. The old syntax will be deprecated in a future release.
- New link syntax for C libs: `@[Link("name")]` (uses `name` as `pkg-config name` if available or `-lname` instead), `@[Link(ldflags: "...")]` to pass raw flags to the linker, `@[Link("name", static: true)]` to try to find a static library first, and `@[Link(framework: "AppKit")]` (for Mac OSX).
- Added an `exec` method to execute shell commands. Added the `system` and `backtick` similar to Ruby ones.
- Added `be_truthy` and `be_falsey` spec matchers. Added `Array#zip` without a block. (thanks @mjgpy3)
- Added `getter?` and `property?` macros to create methods that end with `?`.
- Added a `CGI` module.
- The compiler now only depends on `cc` for compiling (removed dependency to `llc`, `opt`, `llvm-dis` and `clang`).
- Added `IO#tty?`.
- Some bug fixes.

### 0.4.3 (2014-08-14)

- Reverted a commit that introduced random crashes.

### 0.4.2 (2014-08-13)

- Fixed [#187](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/185): mixing `yield` and `block.call` crashes the compiler.
- Added `\u` unicode escape sequences inside strings and chars (similar to Ruby). `\x` will be deprecated as it can generate strings with invalid UTF-8 byte sequences.
- Added `String#chars`.
- Fixed: splats weren't working in `initialize`.
- Added the `private` and `protected` visibility modifiers, with the same semantics as Ruby. The difference is that you must place them before a `def` or a macro call.
- Some bug fixes.

### 0.4.1 (2014-08-09)

- Fixed [#185](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/185): `-e` flag stopped working.
- Added a `@length` compile-time variable available inside tuples that allows to do loop unrolling.
- Some bug fixes.

### 0.4.0 (2014-08-08)

- Support splats in macros.
- Support splats in defs and calls.
- Added named arguments.
- Renamed the `make_named_tuple` macro to `record`.
- Added `def_equals`, `def_hash` and `def_equals_and_hash` macros to generate them from a list of fields.
- Added `Slice(T)`, which is a struct having a pointer and a length. Use this in IO for a safe API.
- Some `StaticArray` fixes and enhancements.

### 0.3.5 (2014-07-29)

- **(breaking change)** Removed the special `->` operator for pointers of structs/unions: instead of `foo->bar` use `foo.value.bar`; instead of `foo->bar = 1` use `foo.value.bar = 1`.
- Added `colorize` file that provides methods to easily output bash colors.
- Now you can use modules as generic type arguments (for example, do `x = [] of IO`).
- Added SSL sockets. Now HTTP::Server implements HTTPS.
- Macros have access to constants and types.
- Allow iterating a range in macros with `for`.
- Use cpu cycle counter to initialize random.
- `method_missing` now works in generic types.
- Fixed [#154](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/154): bug, constants are initialized before global variables.
- Fixed [#168](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/168): incorrect type inference of instance variables if not assigned in superclass.
- Fixed [#169](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/169): `responds_to?` wasn't working with generic types.
- Fixed [#171](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/171): ensure blocks are not executed if the rescue block returns from a def.
- Fixed [#175](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/175): invalid code generated when using with/yield with structs.
- Fixed some parser issues and other small issues.
- Allow forward struct/union declarations in libs.
- Added `String#replace(Regex, String)`
- Added a `Box(T)` class, useful for boxing value types to pass them to C as `Void*`.

### 0.3.4 (2014-07-21)

- Fixed [#165](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/165): restrictions with generic types didn't work for hierarchy types.
- Allow using a single underscore in restrictions, useful for matching against an n-tuple or an n-function where you don't care about the types (e.g.: `def foo(x : {_, _})`.
- Added a `generate_hash` macro that generates a `hash` methods based on some AST nodes.
- Added very basic `previous_def`: similar to `super`, but uses the previous definition of a method. Useful to decorate existing methods (similar to `alias_method_chain`). For now the method's type restrictions must match for a previous definition to be found.
- Made the compiler a bit faster
- Added `env` in macros, to fetch an environment value. Returns a StringLiteral if found or NilLiteral if not.
- Make `return 1, 2` be the same as `return {1, 2}`. Same goes with `break` and `next`.
- Added `Pointer#as_enumerable(size : Int)` to create an `Enumerable` from a Pointer with an associated size, with zero overhead. Some methods removed from `Pointer`: `each`, `map`, `to_a`, `index`.
- Added `StaticArray::new`, `StaticArray::new(value)`, `StaticArray::new(&block)`, `StaticArray#shuffle!` and `StaticArray#map!`.
- Faster `Char#to_s(io : IO)`

### 0.3.3 (2014-07-14)

- Allow implicit conversion to C types by defining a `to_unsafe` method. This removed the hardcoded rule for converting a `String` to `UInt8*` and also allows passing an `Array(T)` to an argument expecting `Pointer(T)`.
- Fixed `.is_a?(Class)` not working ([#162](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/162))
- Attributes are now associated to AST nodes in the semantic pass, not during parsing. This allows macros to generate attributes that will be attached to subsequent expressions.
- **(breaking change)** Make ENV#[] raise on missing key, and added ENV#[]?
- **(breaking change)** Macro defs are now written like `macro def name(args) : ReturnType` instead of `def name(args) : ReturnType`, which was a bit confusing.

### 0.3.2 (2014-07-10)

- Integer literals without a suffix are inferred to be Int32, Int64 or UInt64 depending on their value.
- Check that integer literals fit into their types.
- Put back `Int#to_s(radix : Int)` (was renamed to `to_s_in_base` in the previous release) by also specifying a restriction in `Int#to_s(io : IO)`.
- Added `expect_raises` macros in specs

### 0.3.1 (2014-07-09)

- **(breaking change)** Replaced `@name` inside macros with `@class_name`.
- **(breaking change)** Instance variables inside macros now don't have the `@` symbols in their names.

### 0.3.0 (2014-07-08)

- Added `Array#each_index`
- Optimized `String#*` for the case when the string has length one.
- Use `GC.malloc_atomic` for String and String::Buffer (as they don't contain internal pointers.)
- Added a `PointerAppender` struct to easily append to a `Pointer` while counting at the same time (thanks @kostya for the idea).
- Added a `Base64` module (thanks @kostya)
- Allow default arguments in macros
- Allow invoking `new` on a function type. For example: `alias F = Int32 -> Int32; f = F.new { |x| x + 1 }; f.call(2) #=> 3`.
- Allow omitting function argument types when invoking C functions that accept functions as arguments.
- Renamed `@name` to `@class_name` inside macros. `@name` will be deprecated in the next version.
- Added IO#read_fully
- Macro hooks: `inherited`, `included` and `extended`
- `method_missing` macro
- Added `{{ raise ... }}` inside macros to issue a compile error.
- Started JSON serialization and deserialization
- Now `at_exit` handlers are run when you invoke `exit`
- Methods can be marked as abstract
- New convention for `to_s` and `inspect`: you must override them receiving an IO object
- StringBuilder and StringBuffer have been replaced by StringIO

### 0.2.0 (2014-06-24)

- Removed icr (a REPL): it is abandoned for the moment because it was done in a hacky, non-reliable way
- Added very basic `String#underscore` and `String#camelcase`.
- The parser generates string literals out of strings with interpolated string literals. For example, `"#{__DIR__}/foo"` is interpolated at compile time and generates a string literal with the full path, since `__DIR__` is just a (special) string literal.
- **(breaking change)** Now macro nodes are always pasted as is. If you want to generate an id use `{{var.id}}`.

    Previously, a code like this:

    ```ruby
    macro foo(name)
      def {{name}}; end
    end

    foo :hello
    foo "hello"
    foo hello
    ```

    generated this:

    ```ruby
    def hello; end
    def hello; end
    def hello; end
    ```

    With this change, it generates this:

    ```ruby
    def :hello; end
    def "hello"; end
    def hello; end
    ```

    Now, to get an identifier out of a symbol literal, string literal or a name, use id:

    ```ruby
    macro foo(name)
      def {{name.id}}; end
    end
    ```

    Although it's longer to type, the implicit "id" call was sometimes confusing. Explicit is better than implicit.

    Invoking `id` on any other kind of node has no effect on the pasted result.
- Allow escaping curly braces inside macros with `\{`. This allows defining macros that, when expanded, can contain other macro expressions.
- Added a special comment-like pragma to change the lexer's filename, line number and column number.

    ```ruby
    # foo.cr
    a = 1
    #<loc:"bar.cr",12,24>b = 2
    c = 3
    ```

    In the previous example, `b = 2` (and the rest of the file) is considered as being parsed from file `bar.cr` at line 12, column 24.

- Added a special `run` call inside macros. This compiles and executes another Crystal program and pastes its output into the current program.

    As an example, consider this program:

    ```ruby
    # foo.cr
    {{ run("my_program", 1, 2, 3) }}
    ```

    Compiling `foo.cr` will, at compile-time, compile `my_program.cr` and execute it with arguments `1 2 3`. The output of that execution is pasted into `foo.cr` at that location.
- Added ECR (Embedded Crystal) support. This is implemented using the special `run` macro call.

    A small example:

    ```ruby
    # template.ecr
    Hello <%= @msg %>
    ```

    ```ruby
    # foo.cr
    require "ecr/macros"

    class HelloView
      def initialize(@msg)
      end

      # This generates a to_s method with the contents of template.ecr
      ecr_file "template.ecr"
    end

    view = HelloView.new "world!"
    view.to_s #=> "Hello world!"
    ```

    The nice thing about this is that, using the `#<loc...>` pragma for specifying the lexer's location, if you have a syntax/semantic error in the template the error points to the template :-)

### 0.1.0 (2014-06-18)

- First official release
