Legacy Support

Upgrading from previous versions may encounter compilation issues as important aspects such as the type system have been updated.

Experimental

The Windows AMD64 build is not compiled on a local machine, unlike previous versions. In order to reduce the release process to a single device as much as possible, it was compiled on a Windows ARM64 machine. Therefore, relevant build is experimental. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Release Period Update

Releases no more include build for the darwin-amd64 architecture.
Past builds has possible incompatibilities and etc. Sorry for that.
It can be still available via compile from source method, this is not darwin-amd64's end of life.

Compatibility and Legacy

Due to the innovations added with this update, older versions will not support some parts of the standard library and the compiler will be outdated to compile from source. Changes such as exceptions, integrated testing and assertions have also been implemented in the standard library. For this reason, older versions are in legacy status because they do not have new error handling approaches.

Beta 0.0.5

Warning
This is a later update. Beta 0.0.5 may have major bugs. It has been observed that it generates code in a way that may cause problems with binary eval. Use IR distributions for the latest and most stable version.
