Language

• Breaking Change - minimum ↧ and maximum ↥ now compare boxes lexicographically
  • This makes them consistent with comparison functions like less than <
• Breaking Change - gen now takes a shape argument and no longer outputs a new seed
• Breaking Change - &clip now unifies &clget and &clset
• Breaking Change - type numbers are now:
  • 0 for normal numbers
  • 1 for characters
  • 2 for boxes
  • 3 for complex numbers
  • This orders the types more or less as you're likely to need to handle them
  • In the future, if another number type is added, it can go at the end next to complex numbers
• The experimental chunks ⑄ function's behavior has been moved to an extension on windows ◫
  • This also allows the specification of "stride"
  • This is inspired by APL's stencil ⌺ behavior
  • chunks ⑄ has been deprecated
• Stabilize orient ⤸
  • Change its glyph to something with broader font support
  • ⮌ will continue to work and will be formatted as ⤸
• Add anti ⌝ modifier, which simplifies choosing certain inverses
  • Add related new anti ⌝ inverses for drop ↘, select ⊏, and pick ⊡ (though many more already existed)
• Add obverse ⌅ modifier, which unifies the specification of inverses
  • This unifies, replaces, and extends setinv and setund
  • Deprecate setinv and setund
• un ° by ⊸ can now be used to access the "undo" part of a function's under ⍜ functionality
• Stabilize below ◡
• Rename ⤙ but and ⤚ with to with ⤙ and off ⤚
  • with ⤙ has been stabilized
• "Stack macros" are now called "index macros"
  • Stabilize existing placeholder indexing syntax (^0, ^1, etc.)
  • Deprecate existing stack-based macro placeholders (^!, ^., etc.)
• assert ⍤ at the beginning of a line is now interpreted as a test in some contexts
  • See the updated Testing Tutorial for more information
• parse ⋕ now parses complex values from both arbiand a+bi formats
  • un °parse ⋕'s return value uses the arbi format
• un ° orient ⤸ is now equivalent to range ⇡ length ⧻ shape △ duplicate .
  • This is analogous to the behavior of un ° select ⊏
• Add a feature to some under ⍜ functions that makes them more permissive of changes in rank
  • Applies to select ⊏, keep ▽, first ⊢, first ⊢reverse ⇌
  • The value that is "put back" can have its rank changed
  • Lower rank arrays get repeated to match the original shape
  • Higher rank arrays extend the length of the array
• under ⍜ un ° bits ⋯ now preserves a minimum bit length
• under ⍜ reverse ⇌, transpose ⍉, and rotate ↻ are now smarter with respect to the signature of under ⍜'s second function
  • For example ⍜⇌°⊂ behaves in a more useful way
• under ⍜ length ⧻ now reshapes an array to have the transformed length
• NaN and ∞ indices for pick ⊡ and select ⊏ now get the fill ⬚ value
• scan \\ now accepts functions that take more than 2 arguments
  • The behavior is similar to the analogous behavior for reduce /
• Allow on ⟜ to use function packs
• Allow under ⍜ of scalar keep ▽
• Add the graphemes function, which splits a string into unicode grapheme clusters
• Add the &fmd system function, which creates a directory
• Very large arrays are now displayed more concisely in output
• Change and enhance the behavior of ; and ;;
  • You can read about the new behavior here
• Add unicode escape sequences for entering arbitrary characters
  • A double backslash followed by a unicode hex number will format to the corresponding glyph
• Add the timezone function, which gets the local timezone offset in hours
• Scoped modules are now delimited by ┌─╴ and └─╴
  • These both format from the existing --- delimiters
• Add a Lorem constant, which contains the Lorem Ipsum text
• Add several color constants
• Add pride flag constants
• Add Cats image constant
• Allow &raw to be inverted, acting as a getter for the raw state of the terminal
  • under ⍜&raw sets raw mode, and then returns it to the previous state
• Experimentally allow fold ∧ to work with any signature
  • Excess values are collected into arrays
• Add the experimental around ’ function, which duplicates the top value on the stack to the third-to-top position
• Add experimental tuples ⧅ modifier
  • This unifies and extends the behavior of the choose and permute functions, which are now deprecated
  • This also replaces and deprecates the triangle modifier
• Add experimental base function
  • This converts to and from base-N digits
• Add an experimental sort ⍆ function
  • Sorting is very common
  • un ° sort ⍆ shuffles an array
• Add an experimental last ⊣ function
  • Getting the last row of an array is very common
• Add experimental subscript modifiers
  • They modify the behavior of some functions and modifiers
  • You can read more about them here
• Add experimental data definitions
  • These allow for structured data similar to structs and enums in other languages
  • They also allow a limited form of namable function arguments
  • The experimental struct modifier/macro has been deprecated in favor of data definitions
• Add the experimental layout function, which renders text into an image array
• astar no longer errors if no paths are found
• Remove previously deprecated function strands

Interpreter

• Add the uiua find command, which finds Uiua code that matches the given unformatted text
• Add the uiua doc command, which shows the documentation for a function or modifier
• Add checking for end-of-line signature comments
  • These are documented in the Documenting Code tutorial
• Add webp support to img
• Some optimizations
  • Pervasive function machinery has been totally rewritten
    • Observed performance improvements of up to 12x
  • fill ⬚ed array creation has been totally rewritten
    • Observed performance improvements:
      • ~1.2x in the best case
      • ~5x in the average case
      • ~450x in the worst case
  • rows ≡ on ⟜/by ⊸ random ⚂/constant
  • memberof ∈range ⇡ for scalar inputs to range ⇡
  • memberof ∈rerank ☇1range ⇡ for rank 1 inputs to range ⇡
  • first ⊢un °sort ⍆ to just pick an element
• Tweak the formatter to reduce excess vertical space
• The formatter now aligns consecutive single-line bindings
• uiua repl now has a -s/--stack flag to disable clearing the stack after each line
  • Clearing the stack is now the default
  • The -c/--clear has been removed
• After programs finish executing, the terminal raw mode will be automatically disabled if it was left on.
