Emojicode 0.5 is a ground-breaking release, so ground-breaking that it even skips version 0.4. It mainly focus on under-the-hood improvements but also brings a lot of surface-facing enhancements like:

• 🕊Value Types are more powerful than ever: Full support of instance variables, methods, type methods, protocols, generics and more. Value Types can even be casted generically at run-time.
• 🦃 Enums have an improved syntax and can have methods.
• 🚨 A light-weight but effective error handling concept has been introduced. Nothingness initializers have been removed in favor of error-prone initializers that are used in conjunction with the error handling system.
• Emojicode supports Unicode 9.0 emojis
• 🍫 and 🍳 are replaced by Assignment by Call
• 🍻has been removed.
• 🍱 Multi-protocols allow you to group protocols to a single type.
• The compiler can infer protocols and multi-protocols when inferring types.
• The s package got improved:
  • The 😛 protocol can be used to determine equality and 🍨s can test equality of lists.
  • A pseudo-random number generator was introduced: 🎰
• 🔻Type alias allow you to reference to types with secondary names.
• Captures and closures are 🍇s now internally with less redundancy.
• The compiler does proper path analysis and 🐐 can be used in flow control structures now.
• 🐚 Some glitches with generics were removed.
• Like hundreds of bugs have been fixed. At least they are gone now.

Under-the-hood, this release makes Emojicode really shine:

• The Garbage Collector and Memory Manager have been reworked and many memory bugs have been fixed. Allocated objects are properly aligned with systems requirements to deliver more speed. Space is managed more thrifty and no more redundant wrapping into containers takes place. (That’s massive, actually!) Instead, the compiler only sophisticatedly boxes stuff when really necessary.
• The standard library now mostly uses standardized C++ APIs for the s package.
• The Engine source code has been fully migrated to C++ and was cleaned up.
• The compiler no longer writes corrupted binaries to disk and buffers files internally.
• Last but not least, this update brings a much simpler, more intuitive and robust package API.

🙋‍♂️ Hey, there!

It’s been a long time, but it’s still a pleasure for me to announce Emojicode 0.3 to you today! It contains a few but substantial changes over the last beta:

• 🔒 Fixes faulty behavior with access levels
• 1️⃣ Allows keycap emojis to be used as identifiers (thanks to @ThatsJustCheesy)
• 🗜The compiler employs optimization techniques to remove unnecessary stuff. Our test file binaries are up to 84% smaller and 73% smaller on average. That‘s huge, isn’t it?
• 🍼 makes initializers even cooler.
• 🌮 You can now add documentation for a whole package.
• 🎈 This is the first version of Emojicode to be released under a real open source license!

And here’s a list of all the other great stuff that changed since 0.2:

• 🍇 Proper Scoping: Finally, Emojicode applies industry-standard scoping to blocks
• ⚫️ Expectations improves inferring on 🍨 and 🍯 and saves you a lot of typing
• 🦃 Enums are now instantiated using 🔷 for consistency
• 📄 Enhanced Bytecode (Little Endian, more compact, lots of new instructions etc.)
• 🕊 A new kind of type: Value Types
• 🚂👌🚀🔣 Better Value Types: Primitives were replaced by value type types which can be extended and have initializers, methods and type methods like classes.
• 🌶 Improved Capturing: Type Methods on classes and [Type] Methods on Value Types can now be captured as well
• 🚄 A faster Garbage Collector: It is up to 5% (that’s a lot) faster
• 🔳 Reflection: Pass Classes as value and use them when you need.
• 🏁 Starting Flag Keyword: 🏁 is now easier to declare and can either return ✨ or 🚂
• 🐕 as type: 🐕 replaces 🐓 and brings much better type safety.
• 📞 Sockets: The socket package introduces networking functionality.
• 🍊🍦 Condition assignments are scoped to the following block and allowed in 🔁
• 🐛 Fixes a bug that let variables not work in literals, a bug in 🚂🎰, 🔏, #46, a crash with 🔂 and 🍨, a memory issue in the reporter, a bug with 🍯🍆, and issues with generics.
• 🦃 Adds documentation support to enums
• 🐽️ The s package got a new protocol (🐽️) and interfaces were improved to be more consistent
• 🚂🏧, 🚀🏧, 📇🔪, 🚂🔣, 🔡📫, 🔡📪, 📝 📇, 🔍📇 and ⏲💈New methods make the s package more powerful
• 📦 Introducing the allegro package for graphics (and remove the SDL package)

The day we all were longing for and I intended to write something really great here... but I couldn’t come up with something. I mean, the next version will be even greater, won’t it? 🍾

At least, here’s what got improved since 0.2 RC:

• ❤️ Polished API
• 🤕 Fixed a bug

Emojicode-0.2.0-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar was compiled on a Raspberry Pi 2 and should work for all Raspberry Pis. Emojicode-0.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz was compiled on Debian and should also work on all its derivatives.

Because Emojicode 0.2 without a beta label sounds much better, here’s another, last version before, we’ll actually and definitely call it 0.2. 👌

This release focuses on:

• 🛫 Added support for even more fancy emojis
• Why not convert a 🚀 (double) to a 🔡 (string) or the other way round?
• Or ever wanted to use 🚮 (the remainder operator) on a 🚀?
• 🚨 The compiler reports multiple errors at once.
• 🐚 Inferring generic arguments for generic initializers and methods!
• Minor bug fixes

This is not a beta version. You are encouraged to test this version carefully, and report any found bugs here.
