• [x] fix byte.str()
• [x] maps with non-string keys
• [x] iOS/Android support
• [x] parallel cgen
• [x] IO streams
• [x] struct embedding
• [x] interface embedding
• [x] interfaces: allow struct fields (not just methods)
• [x] short generics syntax (foo(5) instead of foo<int>(5))
• [x] more advanced errors, not just error('message')

[Version 0.4]

• [x] Coroutines (doesn't work on Windows yet)
• [x] vfmt: add missing imports (like goimports)
• [x] Recursive structs via options: struct Node { next ?Node }
• [x] First class Option type
• [x] Optional function struct fields
• [x] Handle function pointers safely, remove if function == 0 {
• [x] Bundle an SSL library (mbedtls) like GC
• [x] Anonymous structs
• [x] Improve veb: allow separation of logic via "controllers", lots of other fixes
• [x] New VPM site

[Version 0.5]

• [x] Parallel C compilation via -parallel-cc
• [x] Parallel parser (not integrated yet)
• [x] Parallel checker (not integrated yet)
• [x] Improved veb framework. Separation of global and context (request local) fields. Performance and stability. Based on picoev.
• [x] -skip-unused on by default
• [x] Lambdas: a.sort(|a, b| a > b)
• [x] Implicit Veb contexts passed to requests
• [x] Direct C/C++ interop without generating wrappers (via -experimental for now)
• [x] Allow $if everywhere: top level, inside struct definitions, etc

[Version 0.6]
