This release adds further fixes and optimizations to the new evaluator, and introduces an experimental XML encoding for CUE.
Changes which may break some users are marked below with: ⚠️
Evaluator
The new evaluator is improved to fix a few more regressions which led to incorrect errors. Since the last alpha release, one more project in Unity is fully working with evalv3, and just one remains with a breakage compared to evalv2.
Performance work for the new evaluator is ongoing; a number of changes in this release led to performance improvements of between 5% and 70% for a variety of projects. For more details, see Marcel's last performance update.
As a reminder, the old evaluator is still accessible via CUE_EXPERIMENT=evalv3=0. If you encounter any errors or other problems, please file an issue with details.
Filenames beginning with a dot can now be embedded as long as the glob pattern uses an explicit dot, such as @embed(glob="dir/.data_*.json").
⚠️ @embed(glob="pattern...") directives whose file globbing results in zero files now result in an error, to avoid situations where a glob pattern silently stops working as intended.
⚠️ The CUE_DEBUG=openinline evaluator debug flag is removed, now that evalv3's closedness implementation closely matches the semantics of evalv2.
cmd/cue
cue mod tidy now preserves the top-level custom field as intended.
cue get go now interprets Go fields with the new json:",omitzero" struct tag as CUE optional fields.
cue cmd now fails if no tasks were actually defined, to avoid situations where a user is misled into thinking a task was defined when it was not.
Builtins
⚠️ The uuid.ToString function is removed, given that it never did anything useful and could mislead users into thinking it did.
tool/http gained a followRedirects option to let the user disable HTTP redirection.
Encodings
The XML "Koala" encoding proposed in February is now available via an experimental implementation. Try it out via the CLI like cue export xml+koala: data.xml, or via its Go API.
