- Add `(number ...)` pattern to peg for more efficient number parsing using Janet's
scan-number function without immediate string creation.
## 1.17.2 - 2021-09-18
- Remove include of windows.h from janet.h. This caused issues on certain projects.
- Fix formatting in doc-format to better handle special characters in signatures.
- Fix some marshalling bugs.
- Add optional Makefile target to install jpm as well.
- Supervisor channels in threads will no longer include a wasteful copy of the fiber in every
message across a thread.
- Allow passing a closure to `ev/thread` as well as a whole fiber.

## 1.17.0 - 2021-08-21
- Add the `-E` flag for one-liners with the `short-fn` syntax for argument passing.
- Add support for threaded abstract types. Threaded abstract types can easily be shared between threads.
- Deprecate the `thread` library. Use threaded channels and ev instead.
- Channels can now be marshalled.
- Add the ability to close channels with `ev/chan-close` (or `:close`).
- Add threaded channels with `ev/thread-chan`.

separately like any other package.
- Fix issue with `ev/go` when called with an initial value and supervisor.
- Add the C API functions `janet_vm_save` and `janet_vm_load` to allow
saving and restoring the entire VM state.
## 1.16.1 - 2021-06-09
- Add `maclintf` - a utility for adding linting messages when inside macros.
- Print source code of offending line on compiler warnings and errors.
- Fix some issues with linting and re-add missing `make docs`.
- Allow controlling linting with dynamic bindings `:lint-warn`, `:lint-error`, and `:lint-levels`.
- Add `-w` and `-x` command line flags to the `janet` binary to set linting thresholds.
linting thresholds are as follows:
- :none - will never be trigger.
- :relaxed - will only trigger on `:relaxed` lints.
- :normal - will trigger on `:relaxed` and `:normal` lints.
- :strict - will trigger on `:strict`, `:normal`, and `:relaxed` lints. This will catch the most issues
but can be distracting.
## 1.16.0 - 2021-05-30
- Add color documentation to the `doc` macro - enable/disable with `(dyn :doc-color)`.
- Remove simpler HTML docs from distribution - use website or built-in documentation instead.
- Add compiler warnings and deprecation levels.
- Add `as-macro` to make using macros within quasiquote easier to do hygienically.
- Expose `JANET_OUT_OF_MEMORY` as part of the Janet API.
- Add `native-deps` option to `decalre-native` in `jpm`. This lets native libraries link to other
native libraries when building with jpm.
- Remove the `tarray` module. The functionality of typed arrays will be moved to an external module
that can be installed via `jpm`.
- Add `from-pairs` to core.
- Add `JPM_OS_WHICH` environment variable to jpm to allow changing auto-detection behavior.
- The flychecker will consider any top-level calls of functions that start with `define-` to
be safe to execute and execute them. This allows certain patterns (like spork/path) to be
better processed by the flychecker.
## 1.15.4 - 2021-03-16
- Increase default nesting depth of pretty printing to `JANET_RECURSION_GUARD`

- Add optional argument to `parser/produce`.
- Add `no-core` option to creating standalone binaries to make execution faster.
- Fix bug where a buffer overflow could be confused with an out of memory error.

are considered to have width 1 (instead of 8).
## 1.14.2 - 2021-01-23
- Allow `JANET_PROFILE` env variable to load a profile before loading the repl.
- Update `tracev` macro to allow `def` and `var` inside to work as expected.

`default-peg-grammar` directly from the root environment.
- Add `ev/thread` for combining threading with the event loop.
- Add `ev/do-thread` to make `ev/thread` easier to use.
- Automatically set supervisor channel in `net/accept-loop` and `net/server` correctly.
## 1.14.1 - 2021-01-18
- Add `doc-of` for reverse documentation lookup.
- Add `ev/give-supervsior` to send a message to the supervising channel.

for fibers to enable structured concurrency.
- Make `-k` flag work on stdin if no files are given.
- Add `flycheck` function to core.
- Make `backmatch` and `backref` more expressive in pegs.
- Fix buggy `string/split`.
- Add `fiber/last-value` to get the value that was last yielded, errored, or signaled
by a fiber.
- Remove `:generate` verb from `loop` macros. Instead, use the `:in` verb
which will now work on fibers as well as other data structures.
- Define `next`, `get`, and `in` for fibers. This lets
`each`, `map`, and similar iteration macros can now iterate over fibers.
- Remove macro `eachy`, which can be replaced by `each`.
- Add `dflt` argument to find-index.
- Deprecate `file/popen` in favor of `os/spawn`.
- Add `:all` keyword to `ev/read` and `net/read` to make them more like `file/read`. However, we
do not provide any `:line` option as that requires buffering.
- Change repl behavior to make Ctrl-C raise SIGINT on posix. The old behavior for Ctrl-C,
to clear the current line buffer, has been moved to Ctrl-Q.
- Importing modules that start with `/` is now the only way to import from project root.
Before, this would import from / on disk. Previous imports that did not start with `.` or `/`
are now unambiguously importing from the syspath, instead of checking both the syspath and
the project root. This is backwards incompatible and dependencies should be updated for this.
- Change hash function for numbers.
- Improve error handling of `dofile`.
- Bug fixes in networking and subprocess code.
- Use markdown formatting in more places for docstrings.
## 1.13.1 - 2020-12-13
- Pretty printing a table with a prototype will look for `:_name` instead of `:name`
in the prototype table to tag the output.
- `match` macro implementation changed to be tail recursive.
- Adds a :preload loader which allows one to manually put things into `module/cache`.
- Add `buffer/push` function.
- Backtick delimited strings and buffers are now reindented based on the column of the
opening delimiter. Whitespace in columns to the left of the starting column is ignored unless
there are non-space/non-newline characters in that region, in which case the old behavior is preserved.
- Argument to `(error)` combinator in PEGs is now optional.
- Add `(line)` and `(column)` combinators to PEGs to capture source line and column.
This should make error reporting a bit easier.
- Add `merge-module` to core.
- During installation and release, merge janetconf.h into janet.h for easier install.
- Add `upscope` special form.
- `os/execute` and `os/spawn` can take streams for redirecting IO.
- Add `:parser` and `:read` parameters to `run-context`.
- Add `os/open` if ev is enabled.
- Add `os/pipe` if ev is enabled.
- Add `janet_thread_current(void)` to C API
- Add integer parsing forms to pegs. This makes parsing many binary protocols easier.
- Lots of updates to networking code - now can use epoll (or poll) on linux and IOCP on windows.
- Add `ev/` module. This exposes a fiber scheduler, queues, timeouts, and other functionality to users
for single threaded cooperative scheduling and asynchronous IO.
- Add `net/accept-loop` and `net/listen`. These functions break down `net/server` into it's essential parts
and are more flexible. They also allow further improvements to these utility functions.
- Various small bug fixes.
## 1.12.2 - 2020-09-20
- Add janet\_try and janet\_restore to C API.

- Allow redirection of stdin, stdout, and stderr by passing keywords in the env table in `os/spawn` and `os/execute`.
- Add `os/spawn` to get a core/process back instead of an exit code as in `os/execute`.
When called like this, `os/execute` returns immediately.
- Add `:x` flag to os/execute to raise error when exit code is non-zero.
- Don't run `main` when flychecking.
- Add `:n` flag to `file/open` to raise an error if file cannot be opened.
- Fix import macro to not try and coerce everything to a string.
- Allow passing a second argument to `disasm`.

- Add `(curenv)`.
- Change `net/read`, `net/chunk`, and `net/write` to raise errors in the case of failures.

to raise errors or other signals.

- Add `xprint`, `xprin`, `xprintf`, and `xprinf`.
- `net/write` now raises an error message if write fails.

- 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.

Janet is a functional and imperative programming language.
Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a language to embed in
other programs. Think Lua or Guile. Janet also can be used for rapid
prototying, dynamic systems, and other domains where lisp shines.
