? May 2020 - Release 0.29.2 =================================== * Change to JS format, not breaking * Move to 3-arg addClass plus setSlots was planned in 2019, but forgotten. * Thus, it is loadable in older Amber versions for more than a year. * The move to 3-arg addClass plus setSlots was made now. * API renames / additions moving further from ivars to slots. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.29.2. 8 May 2020 - Release 0.29.1 =================================== * Change to JS format. * Old code loadable, package saves in new format (no recompile needed). * New format loadable with old versions, but you may fail to compile methods. * Packages return context snapshot and `eval` is only used inside compiler. * Old `eval`-using function `innerEval` that was in each package was removed. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.29.1. 30 Apr 2020 - Release 0.29.0 =================================== * Inlining of #and: and #or:. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.29.0. 20 Apr 2020 - Release 0.28.0 =================================== * Fixing bugs related to lack of typechecking binary operations. * String >> , now only accepts strings and character arrays. * String comparisons return false for non-strings. * Number arithmetics and bit manipulations only accept numbers. * Number comparisons return false for non-numbers. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.28.0 19 Apr 2020 - Release 0.27.1 =================================== * Fixes. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.27.1 14 Apr 2020 - Release 0.27.0 =================================== * Inspectors protocol is changed. * The inspectOn: now sets list of associations in setVariables:. * Breaking for objects acting as inspectors that assume Dictionary. * Both IDEs were updated to assoc-list first, with backward compat. * Inspecting big (~10k) collections is drastically faster. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.27.0 13 Apr 2020 - Release 0.26.0 =================================== * Kernel simplification in context and error handling. * Kernel no longer handles errors. * BrowserPlatform installs unhandled exception / promise handlers. * Develop on modern browsers (production should not be harmed). * Kernel no longer sets up thisContext chain. * MethodContext takes care of the lazy initialization. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.26.0 12 Apr 2020 - Release 0.25.3 =================================== * Fix error handling broken by errors happening in Promises. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.25.3 11 Apr 2020 - Release 0.25.2 =================================== * Changed thisContext hydrating in kernel * Set up so better stack traces are shown in debugger, esp. for async * Can be breaking for code that depends on old hydration (unlikely). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.25.2 9 Apr 2020 - Release 0.25.1 =================================== * Quick release to shorten inspector labels for big collections. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.25.1 8 Apr 2020 - Release 0.25.0 =================================== * Teachable class (in SUnit package). * $core.removeClass returns removed class. * Subclassing JS classes, pragma. * Both 'nil' and '$nil' compiled in method code. * '$nil' used as receiver, 'nil' used to pass a value. * Cleaned error-handling code. * More Set fixes. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.25.0 4 Jun 2019 - Release 0.24.0 =================================== * Subclasses of captured system classes now inherit new methods. * Object.setPrototypeOf was needed to fix, no IE9 / IE10 any more. * Working supersends in trait methods. * New form of method with more late binding. * Loading old form supported, but compiler always compiles in new format. * As TMethodContext >> printOn: works now, less annoyances in Helios debugger. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.24.0 3 Jun 2019 - Release 0.23.2 =================================== * Some fixes. * API for `fetch` in Platform. * Last release compatible with IE9 and IE10. * Fixing issue #1240 needs operations not possible there. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.23.2 26 Mar 2019 - Release 0.23.1 =================================== * Deprecate global "SmalltalkParser". * Lot of small fixes in engine and IDEs. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.23.1 25 Feb 2019 - Release 0.23.0 =================================== * Remove kernel-level deprecations. * `imports:` loaded lazily using isReady promise * you can have circular `import:` clauses * you cannot presume your `import:` dependency is initialized in your own class-level `initialize` * `aJsObject Uppercase: foo and: bar` is called as `aJsObject.Uppercase(foo, bar)` * only the unary `aJsObject Uppercase` is special and returns `aJsObject.Uppercase` * so far all uppercase selectors made an exception, even ones with args * `aJsObject selector: foo withMoreArguments: bar` fails if `aJsObject.selector` is not a function * only the single-arg `aJsObject selector: foo` sets the value `aJsObject selector = foo` * so far even more-than-one-arg ones did set the value denoted by first keyword * Namespace change: amber_core => amber/core. * Backward compatibility mapping added, so old code should load and save with new implicit deps. * You must edit explicit deps (aka `imports:`) as well as Gruntfile, deploy, testing and devel .js files yourself. * Instance variables are now compiled as `obj.ivarName` instead of `obj["@ivarName"]`. * There is compat layer so old code is loadable. * Classes can be created using API containing `slots: {#foo. #bar}` instead of `instanceVariableNames: 'foo bar'` * Smalltalk files are saved using this new API. * No actual slots yet, only 'plain data slots' eg. instance variables. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.23.0 18 Feb 2019 - Release 0.22.6 =================================== * Bug fix in the use of recently added isReady promise for packages. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.22.6 15 Feb 2019 - Release 0.22.5 =================================== * Bug fix in recently introduced amber/helpers loadPackages. * Some internal API changed to be future-proof for lazy dependents. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.22.5 11 Feb 2019 - Release 0.22.4 =================================== * Fixes. * Flatter Collection hierarchy with traits, remove IndexableCollection class. * Remove some old IE8 cruft. * Push CharacterArray down, make it and alias to String and deprecate it. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.22.4 24 Jun 2018 - Release 0.22.1 =================================== * Added one usable API: {BlockClosure,Class} >> provided. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.22.1 22 Jun 2018 - Release 0.22.0 =================================== * Simple pragmas. * `` is an (only implemented so far) pragma. * Remove legacy inline JS syntax (only works). * Programmatic loading of packages works. * Use new @ambers/sdk (at least 0.10.5) (formerly amber-dev). * Remove some older deprecated API. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.22.0 8 Apr 2018 - Release 0.21.1 =================================== * A few new APIs, one bug fix. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.21.1 28 Feb 2018 - Release 0.21.0 =================================== * Kernel assumes global variable `global` exists. * In browser, it must be polyfilled before loading amber. * Smalltalk-level code should continue to use `Platform globals`. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.21.0 12 Nov 2017 - Release 0.20.0 =================================== * Kernel changes, so differences in .js files. Recompile your projects with `grunt`. * Use new amber-dev (0.10.1 atm). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.20.0 7 Oct 2017 - Release 0.19.2 =================================== * Silent bower-only release * Removed dependency on amber/Platform and amber/compatibility. * Thus, can be used with amber-dev 0.10.0 and grunt template 0.19.5. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.19.2. 18 Jun 2017 - Release 0.19.1 =================================== * Kernel slimmed, things moved to Smalltalk side. * Kernel (via kernel-runtime.js) calls only this Smalltalk-side API: * AmberBootstrapInitialization class >> run * Message class >> selector:arguments:notUnderstoodBy: * Dictionary class >> newFromPairs: * ErrorHandler class >> handleError: * JSObjectProxy class >> on: * NonBooleanReceiver class >> signalOn: * TMasterBehavior >> enterOrganization * TMasterBehavior >> leaveOrganization * TBehaviorProvider >> methodOrganizationEnter:andLeave: * Set fix (#1224). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.19.1. 20 April 2017 - Release 0.19.0 =================================== * Removed BehaviorBody in favour of traits TBehaviorDefaults and TBehaviorProvider. * Move Thenable class to TThenable trait. * Removed `.allowJavaScriptCalls` flag. * Internal `.isNil` deprecated in favour of `.a$nil`. * Internal `.klass` deprecated in favour of `.a$cls`. * Both 'self' and '$self' compiled in method code. * '$self' used as receiver, 'self' used to pass a value. * Libs bumped: amber-contrib-{web,jquery,legacy}, helios, domite, silk. Breaks fw compat, uses `a$nil` and `a$cls` when compiling / saving code. May break bw compat for code using `.allowJavaScriptCalls` (very unlikely). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.19.0. 7 April 2017 - Release 0.18.5 =================================== * Fix inability to change ivars. * Wrapper-JQuery bumped to use inlineJS: syntax. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.5. 5 March 2017 - Release 0.18.4 =================================== * Fix export of extension trait methods. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.4. 22 February 2017 - Release 0.18.3 =================================== * Traits, with a few limitations and incomplete IDE support. * Methods / classes / traits are recompiled when moved (fix #1142, #1170). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.3. 1 January 2017 - Release 0.18.2 =================================== * DOM-related stuff in own package (not loaded by default, use imports:). * Accompanying libs updated and semver-bumped: Web, Domite, Helios-* and IDE. * Silk is high-level enough so no bump neither b/c of inlineJS: nor b/c of DOM stuff needed. * Wrapper-JQuery bump postponed. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.2. 21 November 2016 - Release 0.18.1 =================================== * Parser fails fast on mistyped inlineJS: form. * Previously, it treated it as legacy form. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.1. 5 November 2016 - Release 0.18.0 =================================== * Remove some old internal pieces. * Allow new syntax for inline JS method body: * If used in libraries / reused modules, breaks fw compat. * Old syntax is deprecated, but retained in libraries for some grace period. May break bw compat because of removed internal pieces. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.18.0. 19 October 2016 - Release 0.17.0 =================================== * Remove some deprecated classes and methods. * Fix fw compat break of 0.16.1. Breaks bw compat because of removed deprecated pieces. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.17.0. 27 September 2016 - Release 0.16.1 =================================== * Fix node builds (lazy loaded kernel-runtime wasn't packaged). * amber-dev upgrade (to fix UMDs checking for module before define). * Kernel files use 'use strict'. Breaks fw compat (uses $boot.nilAsClass in supersends). Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.16.1. 25 September 2016 - Release 0.16.0 =================================== * boot.js overhaul: * brikz external, reworked to less imperative (no ensure call). * addClass returns the class. * no wrapClassName, using setClassConstructor in later stage. * traverseClassTree (eg allSubclassesDo:) in kernel, not allSubclasses. * runtime part extracted to kernel-runtime.js. * runtime loaded lazily, packages can load without runtime in. * initialize returns a Promise. * init done automatically upon class creation if runtime is active. * amber-dev upgrade (to honour initialize returning a Promise). * Edits relating to lolg.it move. * Fixes. May break bw compat for kernel API using code. Commits: https://lolg.it/amber/amber/commits/0.16.0. 6 February 2016 - Release 0.15.1 =================================== * From this version on, Amber will fully comply to semver: * Any breaking change will result in increase of first non-zero number. * If first non-zero number is not changed, no breaking changes are present in release. * Changed how ST globals are implemented, resulting in shorter and faster code. * Not working any more on IE8 (b/c of changed globals). * amber.initialize(...) returns a promise. * JS global Promise must be present. * If missing, you can polyfill with `bower install amber-compat-es2015 --save`. * JS Promise is wrapped in ST class Promise. * Accompanying libs updated and semver-bumped: * Wrapper-JQuery, Web, Domite, Silk, IDE, Helios-*.
