Full release notes (copied from the given URL):
# Breaking changes
- Builtin functions and subnamespaces of `edit:` are now read-only.
- Introspection for rest arguments has changed:
- The rest argument is now contained in the `arg-names` field of a
closure.
- The `rest-arg` field now contains the index of the rest argument,
instead of the name.
- The `-source` command now runs in a temporary namespace and can no longer
affect the local scope of its caller.
- Key modifiers are no longer case insensitive. For example, `Alt` is still
recognized but `alt` is not. This makes key modifier parsing consistent
with
key names. See [#1163](https://b.elv.sh/1163).
# Deprecated features
Deprecated features will be removed in 0.16.0.
The following deprecated features trigger a warning whenever the code is parsed
or compiled, even if it is not executed:
- Using the syntax of temporary assignment (`var=value`) for non-temporary
assignment is now deprecated. The syntax is still valid for temporary
assignment. For example, using `foo=bar` as a standalone command is
deprecated, but using it as part of command, like `foo=bar ls`, is not
deprecated.
- The `chr` command is now deprecated. Use `str:from-codepoints` instead.
- The `ord` command is now deprecated. Use `str:to-codepoints` instead.
- The `has-prefix` command is now deprecated. Use `str:has-prefix` instead.
- The `has-suffix` command is now deprecated. Use `str:has-suffix` instead.
- The `-source` command is now deprecated. Use `eval` instead.
- The undocumented `esleep` command is now deprecated. Use `sleep` instead.
- The `eval-symlinks` command is deprecated. Use `path:eval-symlinks`
instead.
- The `path-abs` command is deprecated. Use `path:abs` instead.
- The `path-base` command is deprecated. Use `path:base` instead.
- The `path-clean` command is deprecated. Use `path:clean` instead.
- The `path-dir` command is deprecated. Use `path:dir` instead.
- The `path-ext` command is deprecated. Use `path:ext` instead.
- The `-is-dir` command is deprecated. Use `path:is-dir` instead.
The following deprecated features trigger a warning when the code is evaluated:
- Using `:` in slice indices is deprecated. Use `..` instead.
- The mechanism of assigning to `$-exports-` in `rc.elv` to export variables
to the REPL namespace is deprecated. Use `edit:add-vars` instead.
# Notable new features
New features in the language:
- A new `var` special command can be used to explicitly declare variables,
and
optionally assign them initial values.
- A new `set` special command can be used to set the values of variables or
elements.
- Slice indices can now use `..` for left-closed, right-open ranges, and
`..=`
for closed ranges.
- Rest variables and rest arguments are no longer restricted to the last
variable.
- Variables containing any character can now be assigned and used by quoting
their name, for example `'name!' = foo; put $'name!'`.
New features in the standard library:
- A new `eval` command supports evaluating a dynamic piece of code in a
restricted namespace.
- A new `sleep` command.
- A new `path:` module has been introduced for manipulating and testing
filesystem paths.
- A new `deprecate` command.
New features in the interactive editor:
- The new commands `edit:add-var` and `edit:add-vars` provide an API for
manipulating the REPL's namespace from anywhere.
- SGR escape sequences written from the prompt callback are now supported.
New features in the main program:
- When using `-compileonly` to check Elvish sources that contain parse
errors,
Elvish will still try to compile the source code and print out compilation
errors.
# Notable bugfixes
- Using large lists that contain `$nil` no longer crashes Elvish.
