Enso Nightly 0.2.12-SNAPSHOT.2021-06-17

Interpreter/Runtime

  • Upgraded the underlying runtime to
    GraalVM 21.1.0
    (#1738). This brings a raft of
    bug-fixes and improvements to how quickly Enso can reach its peak performance.
  • Added support for bidirectional dataflow tracking to the DataflowAnalysis
    pass (#1748). This will allow
    the interpreter to perform more detailed analyses in the future to enable
    optimisations and new features.

Tooling

  • Added support for higher-kinded types in suggestions in the language server
    (#1712). This allows the
    searcher to make more accurate suggestions when working with collection types.
  • Fixed an issue where symlinks were not extracted properly when installing a
    runtime for Enso (#1718).
  • Implemented log masking (#1732).
    This feature masks personally identifiable information in the logs, such as
    code literals, computed values, and user environment variables.
  • Added support for evaluating one-shot expressions on the result values of
    arbitrary expressions (#1749).
    This is very useful for enabling more advanced introspection in the IDE.
  • Added the workspace/projectInfo endpoint to the language server
    (#1759). This allows the IDE to
    get information about the running project in contexts where the project
    manager isn't available or works differently.
  • Added the file/checksum endpoint to the language server
    (#1787). This allows the IDE to
    verify the integrity of files that it has transferred. The checksum is
    calculated in a streaming fashion so the checksummed file need not be resident
    in memory all at once.
  • Added support for reading and writing byte ranges in files remotely
    (#1795). This allows the IDE to
    transfer files to a remote back-end in a streaming fashion.
  • Added support for multiple content roots in the language server
    (#1800). It is not yet exposed
    to the IDE, as this will be done as part of future work.

Libraries

  • Overhauled the examples throughout the standard library
    (#1707,
    #1725, and
    #1731). These examples all now
    conform to a standard format and have been tested to work.
  • Made some miscellaneous fixes to the HTTP portion of the Base library that
    fix a few bugs (#1722).
  • Removed reflective access when loading the OpenCV library
    (#1727). Illegal reflective
    access operations were deprecated and will be denied in future JVM releases.
  • Overhauled the types we use for errors throughout the standard library
    (#1734). They are now much more
    informative, and should provide more clarity when things go wrong.
  • Re-wrote the documentation generator for the Enso website from Python into
    Scala (#1729). This has greatly
    improved the performance, enabling us to generate the documentation structure
    for the entire standard library 8-10 times faster than before.
  • Implemented Standard Library methods for controlling default visualizations in
    the graphical interface (#1786).

Miscellaneous

  • Adding a pipeline for automatic nightly builds
    (#1689). During the night after
    each workday any new changes to the main branch are built and released as a
    nightly build. The nightly builds can be useful to preview in-development
    features, but they should not be relied on as they are not considered stable.
    Only the 3 latest nightly builds are kept, so the nightly versions become
    obsolete very quickly.
