-------------
Released on February 18, 2018.
Language
- [Package](./docs/package.md) is now a new compilation unit of Nirum.
Every Nirum package needs *package.toml* manifest file.
[[83], [99]]
- Since a Nirum package can be compiled to more than one target languages,
the `nirum` command became to have `-t`/`--target` required parameter.
[[106], [111], [114]]
- Added `-w`/`--watch` mode. [[91], [104], [218]]
- Annotations became able to have multiple arguments and every parameter
became necessary to having its name (keyword). [[178], [190], [197]]
- Service methods became able to omit their return types.
[[179], [199] by Yang Chun Ung]
- Added `error` annotation to make a type to subclass an exception base
class (e.g., [`Exception`][python-exception] in Python) when it's compiled
to OO languages. [[38], [127]]
- Union tag docstrings in parentheses became allowed. [[153], [154]]
- Fixed a parser bug that a bare identifier (i.e., unquoted identifier) cannot
start with a reserved keyword, e.g., `types` (`type` is reserved),
`enumeration` (`enum` is reserved). [[184], [189]]
- Fixed a parser bug that `import` names had been disallowing to have
a trailing comma or newlines. [[202]]
- Fixed the `nirum` command bug that it had always terminated with exit code
0 even when it errored. [[97], [108]]
Docs target
- A new target, `docs` is now available. To generate docs for a Nirum
package, specify `--target docs` option to the `nirum` command.
[[10], [113], [116], [125], [131], [152], [170], [223]]
Python target
- Now supports Python 2.7 besides Python 3.4 or later.
[[50], [85], [93], [117], [nirum-python 22]]
- Now requires *nirum-python* 0.6.0 or later. [[119], [141], [146]]
- From now on, in order to compile a Nirum package to Python,
*package.toml* manifest need [`targets.python`][targets.python] section
and `targets.python.name` field. [[99]]
- Added `targets.python.minimum_runtime` option to specify the minimum
version of *nirum-python* runtime library. [[118], [119]]
- Added `targets.python.renames` option to rename module names when they
are compiled to a Python module. [[121]]
- More package metadata became configurable. [[100]]
- `targets.python.description` [[174] by Seunghun Lee]
- `targets.python.license` [[180] by Seunghun Lee]
- `targets.python.keywords` [[183] by Seunghun Lee]
- Added new transport layer. [[149], [nirum-python 79], [nirum-python 92]]
- Generated constructors of service clients became to take a
`nirum.transport.Transport` instance.
- Followed renamed/moved import paths of the runtime classes
(e.g., `nirum.rpc.Service` became to `nirum.service.Service`).
- The way to avoid name collision between generated types and runtime
classes is changed. The runtime library had provided alternative names
like `service_type` for `Service` and generated imports had been like
`from nirum.rpc import service_type`, but it's now
`from nirum.service import Service as service_type`.
- Record/union tag fields of an optional type can be omitted when
the constructor is called.
[[70], [165] by Seunghun Lee]
- Generated tag classes became qualified under its union class
(e.g., `Shape.Rectangle` instead of `Rectangle`).
Deprecated the old style and it is going to be obsolete in the near future.
[[68], [193]]
- Generated service clients became qualified under its service class
(e.g., `FooService.Client` instead of `FooService_Client`).
Deprecated the old style and it is going to be obsolete in the near future.
[[167], [222]].
- Generated serializers became independent from *nirum-python* runtime
library. [[160], [201], [203], [204]]
- Deserializers became to show multiple error messages at a time.
[[168], [224]]
- Generated Python classes became having `__nirum_type__` metadata for RTTI.
[[nirum-python 34], [192]]
- Generated service classes became having `__nirum_method_annotations__`
metadata for processing annotations. [[194]]
- Docstrings in a Nirum schema became to generate corresponding Python
docstrings. [[102], [128]]
- Sets, lists, and maps became compiled to immutable data structures
so that thay are easily hashable. [[nirum-python 49], [123]]
- Fixed a bug that implicit ancestor packages hadn't been generated even
if they have submodules. [[92], [105]]
- Fixed a bug that a generated Python code had raised
[`NameError`][python-name-error] when a referring type is above than
a referred type. [[138], [nirum-python 88], [146]]
- Fixed a bug that a generated Python `enum` code had became broken
when an enum type has a member named `mro`. [[185], [188]]
Et cetera
- The officialy distributed executable binaries for Linux became
independent from [glibc]; instead statically linked to [musl]. [216]
- The Docker image now has `nirum` command in `PATH`. [[155]]
- The Docker image became based and built on [Alpine Linux][] so that
the image is now much lighter.
