Our last release was M2i. Here's a summary of what's new since then:

Fetching the latest base library

.> pull https://github.com/unisonweb/base:.releases._M2j .base_m2j

You can then (optionally) delete.namespace any old versions of base you have laying around. This will complain if you're still referencing definitions from the old version of base.

If you have definitions that depend on old definitions, you can find that out by doing:

.mycode> todo .base_m2j.patch

If you do have things todo, applying the patch to your namespace will replace the old versions with the new. We recommend forking a copy of your namespace before doing this:

.> fork mycode mycode2 
.mycode2> patch .base_m2j.patch
.mycode2> todo .base_m2j.patch

Assuming that reports "Nothing to do", you can delete.namespace mycode and then delete.namespace your old version of base. If you encounter any trouble, stop by the Slack in #alphatesting and we can help.

Known issues

  • This release adds experimental support for self-contained bytecode files (these are precompiled files that are small and package a main function and its minimal dependencies for execution with low startup times), however we learned the initial approach doesn’t work on platforms with ASLR (address space layout randomization) such as MacOS. We’re going to be redoing this in a more robust way for a later release.

What's coming in future releases?

  • More work on standalone bytecode files for running compiled Unison programs outside of UCM.
  • Changes to the PR and Update process!
  • A new docs site based on the same doc renderer used on https://share.unison-lang.org.
  • More work on Unison's distributed programming API.
  • and a bunch more...
