  • New simplified string interpolation: println("Hello, {name}!"). It will be the only way, old syntax (${name} and $name)
    will be deprecated.
  • New stunnig playground with an improved look and feel, a much better and more responsive editor,
    code sharing by link, more convenient keyboard control, reusability for potential embedding:
    https://play.vlang.io.
  • net.ssl has been migrated from a dynamically linked OpenSSL to a statically linked Mbed TLS. This means that V binaries will no
    longer have an OpenSSL dependency. OpenSSL can still be enabled via -d use_openssl.
  • msgpack module for decoding/encoding msgpack.
  • Easier custom error creation: return MyCustomErr{} instead of return IError(MyCustomErr).
  • Lots of native backend improvements, including library calls, comptime conditionals, enums, method definitions/calls, structs.
  • Removed the need for the [console] attribute in Windows GUI apps.
  • All floats outputs now have .0 conditionally appended to them to improve clarity.
  • Improved type checker: lots of new type checks and fixed checker bugs.
  • Custom integer enum types: enum Xyz as u64 {.
  • Some further interpreter work.
  • Improved call tracing via -trace-calls.
  • Most of vlib has been updated to use the new Option/Result types.
  • Lots of documentation improvements, including a better documentation of the recent Option/Result split.
  • net, net.http, vweb bugs and fixes.
  • V REPL: Home/End keys support. Lots of clean up.
  • QuadTree and RingBuffer types in datatypes.
  • Forward iterator for datatypes.LinkedList<T>, forward and backward iterators for datatypes.DoublyLinkedList<T>.
  • More precise WINAPI declarations for easier integration on Windows.
  • Unused last expression in if is now checked.
  • AST transformer fixes and optimizations.
  • cgen cleanups.
  • Lots of fixes in the builtin dump() function.
  • Stylistic improvements and bug fixes in vfmt.
  • Casting integers to enums now requires unsafe{}.
  • Improved error and warning messages.
  • A new maps module, similar to existing arrays. It has generic filter, flatten, invert, to_map, to_array, from_array
    functions.
  • Parallel compilation now uses sync.Pool.
  • utf8.is_number(), utf8.is_space() functions.
  • New encoding.base32 module.
  • -skip-unused fixes, soon to be made the default.
  • gg.TouchPoint to differenciate between different types of touch input.
  • Anonymous structs visibility issues fixed.
  • orm: support parenthesized expressions like select from User where (name == 'Sam' && is_customer == true) || id == 1.
  • vweb.csrf module.
  • str.int() conversion speedup (without -prod).
  • More CI tests on FreeBSD.
