v0.18.3

Added

• type() function that provides the type of something as a string [#1587]
  • Can be really useful as development tool to get inferred types or similar
  • It should not be used for metaprogramming or similar
  • This will likely be removed in the future when there is a better way of
    debugging types, like a language server

Fixed

• Only print truly unhandled exception [#1586]
  • "Unhandled" Exceptions are no longer printed in actor methods called by
    another actor that awaits the return value
  • It used to be that when an actor B raised an exception in a method called by
    actor A, presuming no try/except handling at all, an Unhandled exception
    message would be printed in both actor A and B.
  • Now we inspect waiting actors and in case there are any, the exception will
    be considered "handled" in the actor method that raised the exception
• Cleanup old cruft from Makefile [#]
• Now using zig v0.12.0-dev.1536
  • Improved CPU feature detection for Apple silicon
  • Some smaller zig build system changes, but it seems to be stabilizing as
    there are now docs!
• Acton now builds on Apple Silicon MacOS [#1582]
  • It used to not understand the CPU features and thus MbedTLS would fail to
    compile
  • With zig v0.12.0, the correct CPU features are recognized
• Fix int rounding [#1577]
• Improve DNS error handling in net.TCPConnection [#1573]
  • Ignore DNS resolution errors if we're already in connected state
  • Given happy eyeball support, we could get a A record and establish a working
    IPv4 connection while IPv6 would give an error and be retried continuously,
    which is completely pointless when IPv4 is already established.
• Type error now separate error from identifier with : [#1583]

Testing / CI

• Now also testing build / test and running on Ubuntu 23.10
• There are now golden tests for the compilers type errors [#1571]
