Non-Upwards Compatible Changes
| Resolution | Thanks to... | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Change lambda-args expansion | The experimental lambda-args expansion now adds an additional ejector argument. The makeSeries.emaker package has been modified to conform to these conventions. | Kevin Reid | |
| Missing serialVersionUIDs | All Java classes in E-on-Java which implement Serializable now have their own serialVersionUID. This makes them CapTP-serialization incompatible with previous versions of E-on-Java, but enhances compatibility across future versions. | Kevin Reid E. Dean Tribble |
|
| Default newline is now canonical | The E-on-Java file IO libraries now output "\n" on all platforms. | ||
| PassByConstruction is now available for E objects | An object declared as, for example def foo implements pbc { to __optUncall() { return [1, "add", [2]] } # ... } will be passed-by-construction across CapTP. This means that its __optUncall() method will be called on the sending side, the elements of the result triple will be passed, and the corresponding triple as received will be called (here, as “E.call(1, "add", [2])”) to create the object as received. |
Kevin Reid | |
| Need pseudo-safe traceln as universal logger | The safeScope now provides a println-like traceln function for logging debugging output to the tracelog. This output is quoted using email quoting syntax, to identify the fully-qualified name of the module it came from. | Marc Stiegler | |
| Adding Reactor to Lamport Slot without immediate send? | Added a getCurrent() method which returns a pair of the current value and its generation number | Martin Scheffler Kevin Reid |
|
| Need sash powerbox example | sash.e in src/esrc/scripts *.sash plugins in scripts/sash/ |

|
| seedVat/2 and similar are confusing | These are not yet marked as deprecated in the code, but probably will be in the next release candidate. As Kevin suggests, we will probably continue to offer the current functionality through new non-deprecated methods with more explicit names. | Kevin Reid | |
| Need better bind-pattern objdef expansion | "bind foo {}" now expands to "bind foo := {def foo {}}". |
Kevin Reid | |
| Match-bind expression restricts specimen | A match-bind expression such as "(def x := 1) =~ []" is now expanded so that the binding of x is available afterwards, whether the match succeeds or fails. |
Kevin Reid | |
| Shouldn't trace lost connection at warning level | Lost connections are now always traced at debug level. Deliberate or not is now distinguished only by the traced text. | Martin Scheffler | |
| bug in makeCaretaker.emaker | As Martin proposed, we guard the forwarding of __reactToLostClient/1 with a broken reference check. | Martin Scheffler | |
| SturdyRefs fails to print | When off the air, they now print as <SturdyRef> | Kevin Reid | |
| parsing with no trailing newline has strange results | Fixed | Kevin Reid | |
