on GitHub

Added

• Now warns when /futlib/... files are redundantly imported.

• futharki now prints warnings for files that are ":load"ed.

• The compiler now warns when entry points are declared with types
  that will become unnamed and opaque, and thus impossible to
  provide from the outside.

• Type variables invented by the type checker will now have a
  unicode subscript to distinguish them from type parameters
  originating in the source code.

• futhark-test and futhark-bench now support generating random
  test data.

• The library backends now generate proper names for arrays of
  opaque values.

• The parser now permits empty programs.

• Most transpositions are now a good bit faster, especially on
  NVIDIA GPUs.

Removed

• The <- symbol can no longer be used for in-place updates and
  record updates (deprecated in 0.7.3).

Changed

• Entry points that accept a single tuple-typed parameter are no
  longer silently rewritten to accept multiple parameters.

Fixed

• The :type command in futharki can now handle polymorphic
  expressions (#669).

• Fixed serious bug related to chaining record updates.

• Fixed type inference of record fields (#677).

• futharki no longer goes in an infinite loop if a for loop
  contains a negative upper bound.

• Overloaded number types can no longer carry aliases (#682).
