0.6.25

• motoko (moc)

  • bugfix: fix bogus elision of type constructors sharing names with primitive types in --stable-types section and .most file (#3140)

0.6.24

• motoko (moc)

  • bugfix: fix bogus identification of distinct type constructors
    in --stable-types section and .most file (#3140)

0.6.23

• motoko (moc)

  • bugfix: fix pretty printing of (stable) types and #3128 (#3130)

    • Collect constructors transitively before emitting a .most file.
    • Modifies type pretty printer to produce well-formed types and stable type signatures.

0.6.22

• motoko (moc)

  • Fix: remove bogus error when transitively importing module with
    selective field imports (#3121)
  • Fix: Treating eponymous types from separate candid files (#3103)

• Various reports from CI are now pushed to
  https://dfinity.github.io/motoko (#3113)

0.6.21

• motoko (moc)

  • Emit new ICP metadata custom section 'motoko:compiler' with compiler release or revision in UTF8 (e.g. "0.6.21"). Default is icp:private (#3091).
  • Generalized import supporting pattern matching and selective field imports (#3076).
  • Fix: insert critical overflow checks preventing rare heap corruptions
    in out-of-memory allocation and stable variable serialization (#3077).
  • Implement support for 128-bit Cycles-API (#3042).

• motoko-base

  • ExperimentalInternetComputer library, exposing low-level, binary call function (a.k.a. "raw calls") (dfinity/motoko-base#334, Motoko #3806).
  • Principal.fromBlob added (dfinity/motoko-base#331).

0.6.20

• motoko

  • Implement support for heartbeat system methods (thanks to ninegua) (#2971)

• motoko-base

  • Add Iter.filter : <A>(Iter<A>, A -> Bool) -> Iter<A> (thanks to jzxchiang1) (dfinity/motoko-base#328).

0.6.19

• motoko-base

  • Fixed a bug in the RBTree.size() method.

0.6.18

• moc

  • Add runtime support for low-level, direct access to 64-bit IC stable memory, including documentation.
  • Add compiler flag --max-stable-pages <n> to cap any use of ExperimentalStableMemory.mo (see below), while reserving space for stable variables.
    Defaults to 65536 (4GiB).

• motoko-base

  • (Officially) add ExperimentalStableMemory.mo library, exposing 64-bit IC stable memory

• BREAKING CHANGE (Minor):
  The previously available (but unadvertised) ExperimentalStableMemory.mo used
  Nat32 offsets. This one uses Nat64 offsets to (eventually) provide access to more address space.

0.6.17

• Improved handling of one-shot messages facilitating zero-downtime
  upgrades (#2938).
• Further performance improvements to the mark-compact garbage
  collector (#2952, #2973).
• Stable variable checking for moc.js (#2969).
• A bug was fixed in the scoping checker (#2977).

0.6.16

• Minor performance improvement to the mark-compact garbage collector
