on GitHub

Mostly minor changes to the language and several bug fixes -- this release should be mostly backwards compatible. Some important additions include polymorphic comparison operators that will do the right thing when comparing different number types.

• Hardcode default jpm paths on install so env variables are needed in fewer cases.
• Add :no-compile to create-executable option for jpm.
• Fix bug with the trace function.
• Add :h, :a, and :c flags to thread/new for creating new kinds of threads.
  By default, threads will now consume much less memory per thread, but sending data between
  threads may cost more.
• Fix flychecking when using the use macro.
• CTRL-C no longer exits the repl, and instead cancels the current form.
• Various small bug fixes
• New MSI installer instead of NSIS based installer.
• Make os/realpath work on windows.
• Add polymorphic compare functions for comparing numbers.
• Add to and thru peg combinators.
• Add JANET_GIT environment variable to jpm to use a specific git binary (useful mainly on windows).
• asm and disasm functions now use keywords instead of macros for keys. Also
  some slight changes to the way constants are encoded (remove wrapping quote in some cases).
• Expose current macro form inside macros as (dyn :macro-form)
• Add tracev macro.
• Fix compiler bug that emitted incorrect code in some cases for while loops that create closures.
• Add :fresh option to (import ...) to overwrite the module cache.
• (range x y 0) will return an empty array instead of hanging forever.
• Rename jpm repl to jpm debug-repl.
