v3.0.3

Fixed

• Fixed override for shen.dict-fold that was not properly calling the curried function, which also broke shen.dict-keys and shen.dict-values.

v3.0.2

Changed

• Overrides for symbol? and variable?. This speeds up the time it takes for eval to compile expressions considerably.

v3.0.1

Changed

• @p and vector constructors are now overriden by better performing native implementations.
• read-file-as-bytelist, shen.read-file-as-charlist and shen.read-file-as-charlist are also overriden by native implementations.

v3.0.0

Updated to Shen Open Source Kernel 22.2

Changed

• New compiler imported from Shen/Scheme. Generates code that performs better and allocates less memory.
• Common Lisp's read-table case rules are not modified anymore.
• Bootstraping from scratch requires a working Shen implementation to precompile the compiler code and kernel.

v2.7.0

Updated to Shen Open Source Kernel 22.1

Changed

• Reintroduced backend written in Shen.
• Moved everything in the compiler from the shen namespace to shen-cl.
• Command-line handling has been replaced by the "launcher" kernel extension.
• do expressions now get compiled into PROGN expression, making them tail-call optimization friendly.

Added

• Integrated "features" kernel extension.
• Integrated "launcher" kernel extension.
• Integrated "factorise-defun" kernel extension optimization.
• Source release which includes a pre-compiled backend.lsp file.
• shen-cl.lisp-true? to convert from CL to Shen booleans (counterpart to shen-cl.true?).

v2.6.1

Updated to Shen Open Source Kernel 21.2

Changed

• *port* is now a string with a major.minor.patch format.
• Errors raised when evaluating --load and --eval arguments now print error and exit with code 1.

v2.6.0

Added

• -s/--set sets global symbols, removing use case for *argv*.
• Automated binary builds for Linux, Windows and OSX through Travis.

Changed

• *argv* has been removed.
• -r gets run in left-to-right order like other options.
• -v, -h don't exit immediately after.
• Unrecognized options cause exit with code -1 instead of getting skipped.
• REPL only starts by default if no command line options specified.
• Amended shen.credits to explain exit command.
• Improved help (-h) message.

v2.5.0

Added

• shen-cl.load-lisp, shen-cl.eval-lisp that load and evals Lisp code in string form from Shen.
• LOAD-SHEN that loads Shen code from Lisp.
• :SHEN package where Shen code is defined by default.
• -r/--repl option to force running REPL even if other options would prevent REPL from running.
• cl.exit (cf. shen-cl.exit) as it is CL-specific function and not shen-cl-specific function.

Changed

• absvector? no longer returns true for strings.
• CF-VECTORS can now compare empty absvectors.
• Shen code now gets defined in :SHEN package instead of :COMMON-LISP package.
• Makefile uses curl instead of wget on macOS.

v2.4.0

Updated to Shen Open Source Kernel 21.1.

v2.3.0

Updated to Shen Open Source Kernel 21.0.

Added

• make release command that creates os-specific archive of compiled binaries.
• dict.kl to list of KL imports.
• lisp. form to embed literal Common Lisp code.

Changed

• cond now raises an error when no condition is true, instead of returning [].
• Reimplemented lisp. prefixed native calls in the compiler.

Renamed

• exit -> shen-cl.exit.
• read-char-code -> shen.read-char-code

Removed

• command-line - use (value *argv*) instead.
