Cocolang Releases

Cocolang Releases

icon
Cocolang is currently in public alpha at version v0.3.0 and under active development. Expect breaking and maintenance changes regularly. The project will remain close-sourced for the foreseeable future

All releases for the Coco Programming Language are published here.

v0.3.6 (alpha)

Hotfix Release

v0.3.6 is a hotfix release that addresses a bug with pointer sizing that resulted in some functions failing to execute at runtime.

v0.3.5 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.3.5 is a feature release that adds support for compile optimisation, array popping with the popend function and new capabilities to the range function. It also fixes several bugs around assignments to nested objects and complex targets as well as AST generation.

v0.3.4 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.3.4  is a feature release that adds support for revert statements that allow users to explicitly throw exceptions with a revert flag enabled. It also adds support for expressions in f-strings and includes several internal changes for source builds.

v0.3.3 (alpha)

Maintenance Release

v0.3.3  is a maintenance release that allows compiling modules across multiple source files. It also enables the printing of the compiled AST using the --ast flag, to enable debugging and tooling functionality as a base for the language server protocol.

v0.3.2 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.3.2 is a feature release that adds support for compiling manifest in different instruction code forms apart from BIN. New supported code forms are ASM for human-readable assembly instructions and HEX for hexadecimal instructions.

v0.3.1 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.3.1 is a feature release that adds support for runtime type and fuel inspection with the fuel() and typeof(T) built-in functions added to the language syntax. Additionally, the argument names can now be omitted from built-in functions.

v0.3.0 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.3.0 is a feature release with several new syntax features and some breaking changes. It introduces new superglobals, new function calling syntax and coco.nut files for maintaining the metadata of a module.

‣

Release Notes

  • The coco nut init <module> command is required to initialise a coco.nut file in the directory. It is required for the simplified coco compile command to work now.
  • Adds new superglobals Env and Ixn for accessing environment and interaction related capabilities and data such as the interaction fuel parameters or the timestamp in the environment
  • The coco compiler now uses stricter types for indexing elements and registers for improvements in performance & stability.
  • The syntax for function calling and capturing output values now uses () instead of {} for better readability. This change also applies to the objects in return statements
‣

v0.2.2 (alpha)

Maintenance Release

v0.2.2 is a maintenance release with several new syntax features such as module-level constants and simplified function calling rules. It also introduces codegen fixes for composite type yielding and jumps register allocation

‣

v0.2.1 (alpha)

Maintenance Release

v0.2.1 is a maintenance release with codegen optimisations for redundant jump instructions for break and continue statements and improved handling for values like 0 and +/-1 without using constant loading.

‣

v0.2.0 (alpha)

Feature Release

v0.2.0 is a feature release with breaking changes to language constructs like endpoints and drops the elif keyword. It also adds support for map literals, multi-symbol state accessors and several codegen optimisations.

‣

Release Notes

  • coco version now prints a Cocolang ASCII figlet. This banner can be suppressed with the -s flag
  • func qualifiers for invokable and deployer call sites have been replaced with endpoint <qualifier>.
  • All func constructs are considered local and the local keyword is no longer a valid qualifier.
  • Add support for map literal values
  • Replace the elif keyword with the use of else if. This reduces the overall number of keywords in the language
  • Add support for multi-symbol state access with mutate and observe
  • Optimise codegen for arithmetic operations with 1 and f-strings that begin with constant values
‣

v0.1.3 (alpha)

Maintenance Release

v0.1.3 is a maintenance release with improvements to the compiler memory handling, an enhanced codebase format for better collaboration and codegen optimisations for redundant boolean and arithmetic operations.

‣

v0.1.2 (alpha)

Maintenance Release

v0.1.2 is a maintenance release with minor bug fixes and features

‣

Release Notes

Features

  • Adds a coco version command to view the current version
  • Adds support for conversion to Bytes for strings and numerics

Bug Fixes

  • Manifests compiled with empty body functions (i.e pass) now generate valid routine objects without a no instructions found deployment error
  • self is now mandatory as the first argument for class methods
  • Fix an issue append & merge that was mutating the original objects
‣

v0.1.1 (alpha)

Hotfix Release

v0.1.1 is a hotfix for when the compiler assumes incorrect types for the return values when returning multiple values and adds new unit and integration tests for this condition

‣

v0.1.0 (alpha)

Initial Release

v0.1.0 is the initial alpha release of Cocolang. Contains the core capabilities of the language with support for all primitive types and collections along with classes, methods and a built-in library for cryptography and serialization. Includes support for persistent state management, local function invocation and exception throwing.
