Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes
==========================
New language features
---------------------
* Local variables can be tested for being defined
using the new `@isdefined variable` macro ([#22281]).
* Destructuring in function arguments: when an expression such as `(x, y)` is used as
a function argument name, the argument is unpacked into local variables `x` and `y`
as in the assignment `(x, y) = arg` ([#6614]).
* Named tuples, with the syntax `(a=1, b=2)`. These behave very similarly to tuples,
except components can also be accessed by name using dot syntax `t.a` ([#22194]).
* Custom infix operators can now be defined by appending Unicode
combining marks, primes, and sub/superscripts to other operators.
For example, `+̂ₐ″` is parsed as an infix operator with the same
precedence as `+` ([#22089]).
* The macro call syntax `@macroname[args]` is now available and is parsed
as `@macroname([args])` ([#23519]).
* The construct `if @generated ...; else ...; end` can be used to provide both
`@generated` and normal implementations of part of a function. Surrounding code
will be common to both versions ([#23168]).
Language changes
----------------
* The syntax for parametric methods, `function f{T}(x::T)`, has been
changed to `function f(x::T) where {T}` ([#11310]).
* The syntax `1.+2` is deprecated, since it is ambiguous: it could mean either
`1 .+ 2` (the current meaning) or `1. + 2` ([#19089]).
* In string and character literals, backslash `\` may no longer
precede unrecognized escape characters ([#22800]).
* Juxtaposing binary, octal, and hexadecimal literals is deprecated, since it can lead to
confusing code such as `0xapi == 0xa * pi` ([#16356]).
* Declaring arguments as `x::ANY` to avoid specialization has been replaced
by `@nospecialize x`. ([#22666]).
* Keyword argument default values are now evaluated in successive scopes ---
the scope for each expression includes only previous keyword arguments, in
left-to-right order ([#17240]).
* The parsing of `1<<2*3` as `1<<(2*3)` is deprecated, and will change to
`(1<<2)*3` in a future version ([#13079]).
* The parsing of `<|` is now right associative. `|>` remains left associative ([#24153]).
* `{ }` expressions now use `braces` and `bracescat` as expression heads instead
of `cell1d` and `cell2d`, and parse similarly to `vect` and `vcat` ([#8470]).
* Nested `if` expressions that arise from the keyword `elseif` now use `elseif`
as their expression head instead of `if` ([#21774]).
* `let` blocks now parse the same as `for` loops; the first argument is either an
assignment or `block` of assignments, and the second argument is a block of
statements ([#21774]).
* Parsed and lowered forms of type definitions have been synchronized with their
new keywords ([#23157]). Expression heads are renamed as follows:
+ `type` => `struct`
+ `bitstype` => `primitive` (order of arguments is also reversed, to match syntax)
+ `composite_type` => `struct_type`
+ `bits_type` => `primitive_type`
* The `global` keyword now only introduces a new binding if one doesn't already exist
in the module.
This means that assignment to a global (`global sin = 3`) may now throw the error:
"cannot assign variable Base.sin from module Main", rather than emitting a warning.
Additionally, the new bindings are now created before the statement is executed.
For example, `f() = (global sin = "gluttony"; nothing)` will now resolve which module
contains `sin` eagerly, rather than delaying that decision until `f` is run. ([#22984]).
* Dispatch rules have been simplified:
method matching is now determined exclusively by subtyping;
the rule that method type parameters must also be captured has been removed.
Instead, attempting to access the unconstrained parameters will throw an `UndefVarError`.
Linting in package tests is recommended to confirm that the set of methods
which might throw `UndefVarError` when accessing the static parameters
(`need_to_handle_undef_sparam = Set{Any}(m.sig for m in Test.detect_unbound_args(Base, recursive=true))`)
is equal (`==`) to some known set (`expected = Set()`). ([#23117])
* `const` declarations on local variables were previously ignored. They now give a
warning, so that this syntax can be disallowed or given a new meaning in a
future version ([#5148]).
* Placing an expression after `catch`, as in `catch f(x)`, is deprecated.
Use `catch; f(x)` instead ([#19987]).
* In `for i = ...`, if a local variable `i` already existed it would be overwritten
during the loop. This behavior is deprecated, and in the future `for` loop variables
will always be new variables local to the loop ([#22314]).
The old behavior of overwriting an existing variable is available via `for outer i = ...`.
* In `for i in x`, `x` used to be evaluated in a new scope enclosing the `for` loop.
Now it is evaluated in the scope outside the `for` loop.
* Variable bindings local to `while` loop bodies are now freshly allocated on each loop iteration,
matching the behavior of `for` loops.
* Prefix `&` for by-reference arguments to `ccall` has been deprecated in favor of
`Ref` argument types ([#6080]).
* All line numbers in ASTs are represented by `LineNumberNode`s; the `:line` expression
head is no longer used. `QuoteNode`s are also consistently used for quoted symbols instead
of the `:quote` expression head (though `:quote` `Expr`s are still used for quoted
expressions) ([#23885]).
* The `+` and `-` methods for `Number` and `UniformScaling` are not ambiguous anymore since `+`
and `-` no longer do automatic broadcasting. Hence the methods for `UniformScaling` and `Number` are
no longer deprecated ([#23923]).
* The keyword `importall` is deprecated. Use `using` and/or individual `import` statements
instead ([#22789]).
* `reduce(+, [...])` and `reduce(*, [...])` no longer widen the iterated over arguments to
system word size. `sum` and `prod` still preserve this behavior. ([#22825])
* Like `_`, variable names consisting only of underscores can be assigned,
but accessing their values is deprecated ([#24221]).
* Raw string literal escaping rules have been changed to make it possible to write all strings.
The rule is that backslashes escape both quotes and other backslashes, but only when a sequence
of backslashes precedes a quote character. Thus, 2n backslashes followed by a quote encodes n
backslashes and the end of the literal while 2n+1 backslashes followed by a quote encodes n
backslashes followed by a quote character ([#22926]).
* The syntax `(x...)` for constructing a tuple is deprecated; use `(x...,)` instead (#24452).
Breaking changes
----------------
This section lists changes that do not have deprecation warnings.
* `getindex(s::String, r::UnitRange{Int})` now throws `UnicodeError` if `last(r)`
is not a valid index into `s` ([#22572]).
* `ntuple(f, n::Integer)` throws `ArgumentError` if `n` is negative.
Previously an empty tuple was returned ([#21697]).
* Juxtaposing string literals (e.g. `"x"y`) is now a syntax error ([#20575]).
* `finalizer(function, object)` now returns `object` rather than `nothing` ([#24679]).
* Macro calls with `for` expressions are now parsed as generators inside
function argument lists ([#18650]). Examples:
+ `sum(@inbounds a[i] for i = 1:n)` used to give a syntax error, but is now
parsed as `sum(@inbounds(a[i]) for i = 1:n)`.
+ `sum(@m x for i = 1:n end)` used to parse the argument to `sum` as a 2-argument
call to macro `@m`, but now parses it as a generator plus a syntax error
for the dangling `end`.
* `@__DIR__` returns the current working directory rather than `nothing` when not run
from a file ([#21759]).
* `@__FILE__` and `@__DIR__` return information relative to the file that it was parsed from,
rather than from the task-local `SOURCE_PATH` global when it was expanded.
* All macros receive an extra argument `__source__::LineNumberNode` which describes the
parser location in the source file for the `@` of the macro call.
It can be accessed as a normal argument variable in the body of the macro.
This is implemented by inserting an extra leading argument into the
`Expr(:macrocall, :@name, LineNumberNode(...), args...)`
surface syntax. ([#21746])
* Passing the same keyword argument multiple times is now a syntax error ([#16937]).
* `getsockname` on a `TCPSocket` now returns the locally bound address and port
of the socket. Previously the address of the remote endpoint was being
returned ([#21825]).
* Using `ARGS` within the ~/.juliarc.jl or within a .jl file loaded with `--load` will no
longer contain the script name as the first argument. Instead the script name will be
assigned to `PROGRAM_FILE`. ([#22092])
* The format for a `ClusterManager` specifying the cookie on the command line is now
`--worker=<cookie>`. `--worker <cookie>` will not work as it is now an optional argument.
* The representation of `CartesianRange` has changed to a
tuple-of-AbstractUnitRanges; the `start` and `stop` fields are no
longer present. Use `first(R)` and `last(R)` to obtain
start/stop. ([#20974])
* The `Diagonal`, `Bidiagonal`, `Tridiagonal` and `SymTridiagonal` type definitions have
changed from `Diagonal{T}`, `Bidiagonal{T}`, `Tridiagonal{T}` and `SymTridiagonal{T}`
to `Diagonal{T,V<:AbstractVector{T}}`, `Bidiagonal{T,V<:AbstractVector{T}}`,
`Tridiagonal{T,V<:AbstractVector{T}}` and `SymTridiagonal{T,V<:AbstractVector{T}}`
respectively ([#22718], [#22925], [#23035], [#23154]).
* When called with an argument that contains `NaN` elements, `findmin` and `findmax` now return the
first `NaN` found and its corresponding index. Previously, `NaN` elements were ignored.
The new behavior matches that of `min`, `max`, `minimum`, and `maximum`.
* `isapprox(x,y)` now tests `norm(x-y) <= max(atol, rtol*max(norm(x), norm(y)))`
rather than `norm(x-y) <= atol + ...`, and `rtol` defaults to zero
if an `atol > 0` is specified ([#22742]).
* Spaces are no longer allowed between `@` and the name of a macro in a macro call ([#22868]).
* Juxtaposition of a non-literal with a macro call (`x@macro`) is no longer valid syntax ([#22868]).
* On a cluster, all files are now loaded from the local file system rather than node 1 ([#22588]).
To load the same file everywhere from node 1, one possible alternative is to broadcast a call to `include_string`:
`@everywhere include_string(Main, $(read("filename", String)), "filename")`.
Improving upon this API is left as an opportunity for packages.
* `randperm(n)` and `randcycle(n)` now always return a `Vector{Int}` (independent of
the type of `n`). Use the corresponding mutating functions `randperm!` and `randcycle!`
to control the array type ([#22723]).
* Hermitian now ignores any imaginary components in the diagonal instead of checking
the diagonal. ([#17367])
* Worker-worker connections are setup lazily for an `:all_to_all` topology. Use keyword
arg `lazy=false` to force all connections to be setup during a `addprocs` call. ([#22814])
* In `joinpath(a, b)` on Windows, if the drive specifications of `a` and `b` do not match,
`joinpath` now returns `b` instead of throwing an `ArgumentError`. `joinpath(path...)` is
defined to be left associative, so if any argument has a drive path which does not match
the drive of the join of the preceding paths, the prior ones are dropped. ([#20912])
* `^(A::AbstractMatrix{<:Integer}, p::Integer)` now throws a `DomainError`
if `p < 0`, unless `A == one(A)` or `A == -one(A)` (same as for
`^(A::Integer, p::Integer)`) ([#23366]).
* `^(A::AbstractMatrix{<:Integer}, p::Integer)` now promotes the element type in the same
way as `^(A::Integer, p::Integer)`. This means, for instance, that `[1 1; 0 1]^big(1)`
will return a `Matrix{BigInt}` instead of a `Matrix{Int}` ([#23366]).
* The element type of the input is now preserved in `unique`. Previously the element type
of the output was shrunk to fit the union of the type of each element in the input.
([#22696])
* The `promote` function now raises an error if its arguments are of different types
and if attempting to convert them to a common type fails to change any of their types.
This avoids stack overflows in the common case of definitions like
`f(x, y) = f(promote(x, y)...)` ([#22801]).
* `findmin`, `findmax`, `indmin`, and `indmax` used to always return linear indices.
They now return `CartesianIndex`es for all but 1-d arrays, and in general return
the `keys` of indexed collections (e.g. dictionaries) ([#22907]).
* The `openspecfun` library is no longer built and shipped with Julia, as it is no longer
used internally ([#22390]).
* All loaded packges used to have bindings in `Main` (e.g. `Main.Package`). This is no
longer the case; now bindings will only exist for packages brought into scope by
typing `using Package` or `import Package` ([#17997]).
* `slicedim(b::BitVector, 1, x)` now consistently returns the same thing that `b[x]` would,
consistent with its documentation. Previously it would return a `BitArray{0}` for scalar
`x` ([#20233]).
* The rules for mixed-signedness integer arithmetic (e.g. `Int32(1) + UInt64(1)`) have been
simplified: if the arguments have different sizes (in bits), then the type of the larger
argument is used. If the arguments have the same size, the unsigned type is used ([#9292]).
* All command line arguments passed via `-e`, `-E`, and `-L` will be executed in the order
given on the command line ([#23665]).
* `I` now yields `UniformScaling{Bool}(true)` rather than `UniformScaling{Int64}(1)`
to better preserve types in operations involving `I` ([#24396]).
* The return type of `reinterpret` has changed to `ReinterpretArray`. `reinterpret` on sparse
arrays has been discontinued.
* `Base.find_in_path` is now `Base.find_package` or `Base.find_source_file` ([#24320]).
* `finalizer` now takes functions or pointers as its first argument, and the object being
finalized as its second (rather than the reverse). For the majority of use cases
deprecation warnings will be triggered. However, deprecation warnings will not trigger where
(1) the callable argument is not a subtype of `Function`; or (2) both arguments are
`Function`s or `Ptr{Void}`s ([#24605]).
* The `kill` function now throws errors on user error (e.g. on permission
errors), but returns successfully if the process had previously exited.
Its return value has been removed. Use the `process_running` function
to determine if a process has already exited.
* Broadcasting has been redesigned with an extensible public interface. The new API is
documented at https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/interfaces/#Interfaces-1.
`AbstractArray` types that specialized broadcasting using the old internal API will
need to switch to the new API. ([#20740])
Library improvements
--------------------
* The function `thisind(s::AbstractString, i::Integer)` returns the largest valid index
less or equal than `i` in the string `s` or `0` if no such index exists ([#24414]).
* `Irrational` is now a subtype of `AbstractIrrational` ([#24245]).
* The function `chop` now accepts two arguments `head` and `tail` allowing to specify
number of characters to remove from the head and tail of the string ([#24126]).
* Functions `first` and `last` now accept `nchar` argument for `AbstractString`.
If this argument is used they return a string consisting of first/last `nchar`
characters from the original string ([#23960]).
* Expressions `x^-n` where `n` is an *integer literal* now correspond to `inv(x)^n`.
For example, `x^-1` is now essentially a synonym for `inv(x)`, and works
in a type-stable way even if `typeof(x) != typeof(inv(x))` ([#24240]).
* New `Iterators.reverse(itr)` for reverse-order iteration ([#24187]). Iterator
types `T` can implement `start` etc. for `Iterators.Reverse{T}` to support this.
* The functions `nextind` and `prevind` now accept `nchar` argument that indicates
the number of characters to move ([#23805]).
* The functions `strip`, `lstrip` and `rstrip` now return `SubString` ([#22496]).
* The functions `strwidth` and `charwidth` have been merged into `textwidth`([#20816]).
* The functions `base` and `digits` digits now accept a negative
base (like `ndigits` did) ([#21692]).
* The function `randn` now accepts complex arguments (`Complex{T <: AbstractFloat}`)
([#21973]).
* The function `rand` can now pick up random elements from strings, associatives
and sets ([#22228], [#21960], [#18155], [#22224]).
* Method lists are now printed as a numbered list. In addition, the source code of a
method can be opened in an editor by entering the corresponding number in the REPL
and pressing `^Q` ([#22007]).
* `getpeername` on a `TCPSocket` returns the address and port of the remote
endpoint of the TCP connection ([#21825]).
* `resize!` and `sizehint!` methods no longer over-reserve memory when the
requested array size is more than double of its current size ([#22038]).
* The `crc32c` function for CRC-32c checksums is now exported ([#22274]).
* `eye(::Type{Diagonal{T}}, m::Integer)` has been deprecated in favor of
`Diagonal{T}(I, m)` ([#24413]).
* The output of `versioninfo` is now controlled with keyword arguments ([#21974]).
* The function `LibGit2.set_remote_url` now always sets both the fetch and push URLs for a
git repo. Additionally, the argument order was changed to be consistent with the git
command line tool ([#22062]).
* `logspace` now accepts a `base` keyword argument to specify the base of the logarithmic
range. The base defaults to 10 ([#22310]).
* Added `unique!` which is an inplace version of `unique` ([#20549]).
* `@test isequal(x, y)` and `@test isapprox(x, y)` now prints an evaluated expression when
the test fails ([#22296]).
* Uses of `Val{c}` in `Base` has been replaced with `Val{c}()`, which is now easily
accessible via the `@pure` constructor `Val(c)`. Functions are defined as
`f(::Val{c}) = ...` and called by `f(Val(c))`. Notable affected functions include:
`ntuple`, `Base.literal_pow`, `sqrtm`, `lufact`, `lufact!`, `qrfact`, `qrfact!`,
`cholfact`, `cholfact!`, `_broadcast!`, `reshape`, `cat` and `cat_t`.
* A new `@macroexpand1` macro for non recursive macro expansion ([#21662]).
* `Char`s can now be concatenated with `String`s and/or other `Char`s using `*` ([#22532]).
* `Diagonal`, `Bidiagonal`, `Tridiagonal` and `SymTridiagonal` are now parameterized on
the type of the wrapped vectors, allowing `Diagonal`, `Bidiagonal`, `Tridiagonal` and
`SymTridiagonal` matrices with arbitrary `AbstractVector`s
([#22718], [#22925], [#23035], [#23154]).
* Mutating versions of `randperm` and `randcycle` have been added:
`randperm!` and `randcycle!` ([#22723]).
* `BigFloat` random numbers can now be generated ([#22720]).
* REPL Undo via Ctrl-/ and Ctrl-_
* `diagm` now accepts several diagonal index/vector `Pair`s ([#24047]).
* New function `equalto(x)`, which returns a function that compares its argument to `x`
using `isequal` ([#23812]).
* `reinterpret` now works on any AbstractArray using the new `ReinterpretArray` type.
This supersedes the old behavior of reinterpret on Arrays. As a result, reinterpreting
arrays with different alignment requirements (removed in 0.6) is once again allowed ([#23750]).
Compiler/Runtime improvements
-----------------------------
* The inlining heuristic now models the approximate runtime cost of
a method (using some strongly-simplifying assumptions). Functions
are inlined unless their estimated runtime cost substantially
exceeds the cost of setting up and issuing a subroutine
call. ([#22210], [#22732])
Deprecated or removed
---------------------
* The keyword `immutable` is fully deprecated to `struct`, and
`type` is fully deprecated to `mutable struct` ([#19157], [#20418]).
* Indexing into multidimensional arrays with more than one index but fewer indices than there are
dimensions is no longer permitted when those trailing dimensions have lengths greater than 1.
Instead, reshape the array or add trailing indices so the dimensionality and number of indices
match ([#14770], [#23628]).
* `fill!(A::Diagonal, x)` and `fill!(A::AbstractTriangular, x)` have been deprecated
in favor of `Base.LinAlg.fillslots!(A, x)` ([#24413]).
* `eye` has been deprecated in favor of `I` and `Matrix` constructors. Please see the
deprecation warnings for replacement details ([#24438]).
* `zeros(D::Diagonal[, opts...])` has been deprecated ([#24654]).
* Using Bool values directly as indices is now deprecated and will be an error in the future. Convert
them to `Int` before indexing if you intend to access index `1` for `true` and `0` for `false`.
* `whos` has been renamed `varinfo`, and now returns a markdown table instead of printing
output ([#12131]).
* `writecsv(io, a; opts...)` has been deprecated in favor of
`writedlm(io, a, ','; opts...)` ([#23529]).
* The method `srand(rng, filename, n=4)` has been deprecated ([#21359]).
* `readcsv(io[, T::Type]; opts...)` has been deprecated in favor of
`readdlm(io, ','[, T]; opts...)` ([#23530]).
* `sparse(s::UniformScaling, m::Integer)` has been deprecated in favor of the
three-argument equivalent `sparse(s::UniformScaling, m, n)` ([#24472]).
* The `cholfact`/`cholfact!` methods that accepted an `uplo` symbol have been deprecated
in favor of using `Hermitian` (or `Symmetric`) views ([#22187], [#22188]).
* The `thin` keyword argument for orthogonal decomposition methods has
been deprecated in favor of `full`, which has the opposite meaning:
`thin == true` if and only if `full == false` ([#24279]).
* `isposdef(A::AbstractMatrix, UL::Symbol)` and `isposdef!(A::AbstractMatrix, UL::Symbol)`
have been deprecated in favor of `isposdef(Hermitian(A, UL))` and `isposdef!(Hermitian(A, UL))`
respectively ([#22245]).
* The `bkfact`/`bkfact!` methods that accepted `uplo` and `issymmetric` symbols have been deprecated
in favor of using `Hermitian` (or `Symmetric`) views ([#22605]).
* The function `current_module` is deprecated and replaced with `@__MODULE__`.
This caused the deprecation of some reflection methods (such as `macroexpand` and
`isconst`), which now require a module argument. And it caused the bugfix of other
default arguments to use the Main module (including `whos`, `which`) ([#22064]).
* `expand(ex)` and `expand(module, ex)` have been deprecated in favor of
`Meta.lower(module, ex)` ([#22064, #24278]).
* `ones(A::AbstractArray[, opts...])` and `zeros(A::AbstractArray[, opts...])` methods
have been deprecated. The general replacement is `fill!(similar(A[, opts...]), {1|0})`,
though in most use cases simpler alternatives are better: For `zeros(A)`, consider
`zero(A)`. For `ones(A)` or `zeros(A)`, consider `fill(v, size(A))` for `v` an
appropriate one or zero, `fill!(copy(A), {1|0})`, `ones(size(A))` or
`zeros(size(A))`, or any of the preceding with different element type
and/or shape depending on `opts...`. For an algebraic multiplicative identity,
consider `one(A)` ([#24656]).
* The `Operators` module is deprecated. Instead, import required operators explicitly
from `Base`, e.g. `import Base: +, -, *, /` ([#22251]).
* Bindings to the FFTW library have been removed from Base. The DFT framework for building FFT
implementations is now in AbstractFFTs.jl, the bindings to the FFTW library are in FFTW.jl,
and the Base signal processing functions which used FFTs are now in DSP.jl ([#21956]).
* The `corrected` positional argument to `cov` has been deprecated in favor of
a keyword argument with the same name ([#21709]).
* Omitting spaces around the `?` and the `:` tokens in a ternary expression has been deprecated.
Ternaries must now include some amount of whitespace, e.g. `x ? a : b` rather than
`x?a:b` ([#22523] and [#22712]).
* `?` can no longer be used as an identifier name ([#22712])
* The method `replace(s::AbstractString, pat, r, count)` with `count <= 0` is deprecated
in favor of `replace(s::AbstractString, pat, r, typemax(Int))` ([#22325]).
* `read(io, type, dims)` is deprecated to `read!(io, Array{type}(dims))` ([#21450]).
* `read(::IO, ::Ref)` is now a method of `read!`, since it mutates its `Ref` argument ([#21592]).
* `Bidiagonal` constructors now use a `Symbol` (`:U` or `:L`) for the upper/lower
argument, instead of a `Bool` or a `Char` ([#22703]).
* `Bidiagonal`, `Tridiagonal` and `SymTridiagonal` constructors that automatically
converted the input vectors to the same type are deprecated in favor of explicit
conversion ([#22925], [#23035], [#23154].
* Calling `nfields` on a type to find out how many fields its instances have is deprecated.
Use `fieldcount` instead. Use `nfields` only to get the number of fields in a specific object ([#22350]).
* `fieldnames` now operates only on types. To get the names of fields in an object, use
`fieldnames(typeof(x))` ([#22350]).
* `InexactError`, `DomainError`, and `OverflowError` now take
arguments. `InexactError(func::Symbol, type, -3)` now prints as
"ERROR: InexactError: func(type, -3)", `DomainError(val,
[msg])` prints as "ERROR: DomainError with val:\nmsg",
and `OverflowError(msg)` prints as "ERROR: OverflowError: msg".
([#20005], [#22751], [#22761])
* The operating system identification functions: `is_linux`, `is_bsd`, `is_apple`, `is_unix`,
and `is_windows`, have been deprecated in favor of `Sys.islinux`, `Sys.isbsd`, `Sys.isapple`,
`Sys.isunix`, and `Sys.iswindows`, respectively ([#22182]).
* The forms of `read`, `readstring`, and `eachline` that accepted both a `Cmd` object and an
input stream are deprecated. Use e.g. `read(pipeline(stdin, cmd))` instead ([#22762]).
* The unexported type `AbstractIOBuffer` has been renamed to `GenericIOBuffer` ([#17360] [#22796]).
* Remaining vectorized methods over `SparseVector`s, particularly `floor`, `ceil`,
`trunc`, `round`, and most common transcendental functions such as `exp`, `log`, and
`sin` variants, have been deprecated in favor of dot-syntax ([#22961]).
* The method `String(io::IOBuffer)` is deprecated to `String(take!(copy(io)))` ([#21438]).
* The function `readstring` is deprecated in favor of `read(io, String)` ([#22793])
* The function `showall` is deprecated. Showing entire values is the default, unless an
`IOContext` specifying `:limit=>true` is in use ([#22847]).
* `issubtype` has been deprecated in favor of `<:` (which used to be an alias for `issubtype`).
* Calling `write` on non-isbits arrays is deprecated in favor of explicit loops or
`serialize` ([#6466]).
* The default `juliarc.jl` file on Windows has been removed. Now must explicitly include the
full path if you need access to executables or libraries in the `JULIA_HOME` directory, e.g.
`joinpath(JULIA_HOME, "7z.exe")` for `7z.exe` ([#21540]).
* `sqrtm` has been deprecated in favor of `sqrt` ([#23504]).
* `expm` has been deprecated in favor of `exp` ([#23233]).
* `logm` has been deprecated in favor of `log` ([#23505]).
* `full` has been deprecated in favor of more specific, better defined alternatives.
On structured matrices `A`, consider instead `Matrix(A)`, `Array(A)`,
`SparseMatrixCSC(A)`, or `sparse(A)`. On sparse arrays `S`, consider instead
`Vector(S)`, `Matrix(S)`, or `Array(S)` as appropriate. On factorizations `F`,
consider instead `Matrix(F)`, `Array(F)`, `AbstractMatrix(F)`, or `AbstractArray(F)`.
On implicit orthogonal factors `Q`, consider instead `Matrix(Q)` or `Array(Q)`; for
implicit orthogonal factors that can be recovered in square or truncated form,
see the deprecation message for square recovery instructions. On `Symmetric`,
`Hermitian`, or `AbstractTriangular` matrices `A`, consider instead `Matrix(S)`,
`Array(S)`, `SparseMatrixCSC(S)`, or `sparse(S)`. On `Symmetric` matrices `A`
particularly, consider instead `LinAlg.copytri!(copy(parent(A)), A.uplo)`. On
`Hermitian` matrices `A` particularly, consider instead
`LinAlg.copytri!(copy(parent(A)), A.uplo, true)`. On `UpperTriangular` matrices `A`
particularly, consider instead `triu!(copy(parent(A)))`. On `LowerTriangular` matrices
`A` particularly, consider instead `tril!(copy(parent(A)))` ([#24250]).
* `speye` has been deprecated in favor of `I`, `sparse`, and `SparseMatrixCSC`
constructor methods ([#24356]).
* Calling `union` with no arguments is deprecated; construct an empty set with an appropriate
element type using `Set{T}()` instead ([#23144]).
* Vectorized `DateTime`, `Date`, and `format` methods have been deprecated in favor of
dot-syntax ([#23207]).
* `Base.cpad` has been removed; use an appropriate combination of `rpad` and `lpad`
instead ([#23187]).
* `ctranspose` and `ctranspose!` have been deprecated in favor of `adjoint` and `adjoint!`,
respectively ([#23235]).
* `filter` and `filter!` on dictionaries now pass a single `key=>value` pair to the
argument function, instead of two arguments ([#17886]).
* `rol`, `rol!`, `ror`, and `ror!` have been deprecated in favor of specialized methods for
`circshift`/`circshift!` ([#23404]).
* `Base.SparseArrays.SpDiagIterator` has been removed ([#23261]).
* The tuple-of-types form of `cfunction`, `cfunction(f, returntype, (types...))`, has been deprecated
in favor of the tuple-type form `cfunction(f, returntype, Tuple{types...})` ([#23066]).
* `diagm(v::AbstractVector, k::Integer=0)` has been deprecated in favor of
`diagm(k => v)` ([#24047]).
* `diagm(x::Number)` has been deprecated in favor of `fill(x, 1, 1)` ([#24047]).
* `diagm(A::SparseMatrixCSC)` has been deprecated in favor of
`spdiagm(sparsevec(A))` ([#23341]).
* `diagm(A::BitMatrix)` has been deprecated, use `diagm(0 => vec(A))` or
`BitMatrix(Diagonal(vec(A)))` instead ([#23373], [#24047]).
* `ℯ` (written as `\mscre<TAB>` or `\euler<TAB>`) is now the only (by default) exported
name for Euler's number, and the type has changed from `Irrational{:e}` to
`Irrational{:ℯ}` ([#23427]).
* The mathematical constants `π`, `pi`, `ℯ`, `e`, `γ`, `eulergamma`, `catalan`, `φ` and
`golden` have been moved from `Base` to a new module; `Base.MathConstants`.
Only `π`, `pi` and `ℯ` are now exported by default from `Base` ([#23427]).
* `eu` (previously an alias for `ℯ`) has been deprecated in favor of `ℯ` (or `MathConstants.e`) ([#23427]).
* `GMP.gmp_version()`, `GMP.GMP_VERSION`, `GMP.gmp_bits_per_limb()`, and `GMP.GMP_BITS_PER_LIBM`
have been renamed to `GMP.version()`, `GMP.VERSION`, `GMP.bits_per_libm()`, and `GMP.BITS_PER_LIBM`,
respectively. Similarly, `MPFR.get_version()`, has been renamed to `MPFR.version()` ([#23323]). Also,
`LinAlg.LAPACK.laver()` has been renamed to `LinAlg.LAPACK.version()` and now returns a `VersionNumber`.
* `select`, `select!`, `selectperm` and `selectperm!` have been renamed respectively to
`partialsort`, `partialsort!`, `partialsortperm` and `partialsortperm!` ([#23051]).
* The `Range` abstract type has been renamed to `AbstractRange` ([#23570]).
* `map` on dictionaries previously operated on `key=>value` pairs. This behavior is deprecated,
and in the future `map` will operate only on values ([#5794]).
* Automatically broadcasted `+` and `-` for `array + scalar`, `scalar - array`, and so-on have
been deprecated due to inconsistency with linear algebra. Use `.+` and `.-` for these operations
instead ([#22880], [#22932]).
* `isleaftype` is deprecated in favor of a simpler predicate `isconcrete`. Concrete types are
those that might equal `typeof(x)` for some `x`; `isleaftype` includes some types for which
this is not true. If you are certain you need the old behavior, it is temporarily available
as `Base._isleaftype` ([#17086]).
* `contains(eq, itr, item)` is deprecated in favor of `any` with a predicate ([#23716]).
* `spdiagm(x::AbstractVector)` has been deprecated in favor of `sparse(Diagonal(x))`
alternatively `spdiagm(0 => x)` ([#23757]).
* `spdiagm(x::AbstractVector, d::Integer)` and `spdiagm(x::Tuple{<:AbstractVector}, d::Tuple{<:Integer})`
have been deprecated in favor of `spdiagm(d => x)` and `spdiagm(d[1] => x[1], d[2] => x[2], ...)`
respectively. The new `spdiagm` implementation now always returns a square matrix ([#23757]).
* Constructors for `LibGit2.UserPasswordCredentials` and `LibGit2.SSHCredentials` which take a
`prompt_if_incorrect` argument are deprecated. Instead, prompting behavior is controlled using
the `allow_prompt` keyword in the `LibGit2.CredentialPayload` constructor ([#23690]).
* `gradient` is deprecated and will be removed in the next release ([#23816]).
* The timing functions `tic`, `toc`, and `toq` are deprecated in favor of `@time` and `@elapsed`
([#17046]).
* Methods of `findfirst`, `findnext`, `findlast`, and `findprev` that accept a value to
search for are deprecated in favor of passing a predicate ([#19186], [#10593]).
* `find` functions now operate only on booleans by default. To look for non-zeros, use
`x->x!=0` or `!iszero` ([#23120]).
* The ability of `reinterpret` to yield `Array`s of different type than the underlying storage
has been removed. The `reinterpret` function is still available, but now returns a
`ReinterpretArray`. The three argument form of `reinterpret` that implicitly reshapes
has been deprecated ([#23750]).
* `bits` has been deprecated in favor of `bitstring` ([#24281], [#24263]).
* `num2hex` and `hex2num` have been deprecated in favor of `reinterpret` combined with `parse`/`hex` ([#22088]).
* `a:b` is deprecated for constructing a `StepRange` when `a` and `b` have physical units
(Dates and Times). Use `a:s:b`, where `s = Dates.Day(1)` or `s = Dates.Second(1)`.
* `cumsum`, `cumprod`, `accumulate`, and their mutating versions now require a `dim`
argument instead of defaulting to using the first dimension ([#24684]).
Command-line option changes
---------------------------
* New option `--warn-overwrite={yes|no}` to control the warning for overwriting method
definitions. The default is `no` ([#23002]).
* New option `--banner={yes,no}` allows suppressing or forcing the printing of the
startup banner, overriding the default behavior (banner in REPL, no banner otherwise).
The `--quiet` option implies `--banner=no` even in REPL mode but can be overridden by
passing `--quiet` together with `--banner=yes` ([#23342]).
* The option `--precompiled` has been renamed to `--sysimage-native-code` ([#23054]).
* The option `--compilecache` has been renamed to `--compiled-modules` ([#23054]).
Julia v0.6.0 Release Notes
==========================
New language features
---------------------
* New type system capabilities ([#8974], [#18457])
+ Type parameter constraints can refer to previous parameters, e.g.
`type Foo{R<:Real, A<:AbstractArray{R}}`. Can also be used in method definitions.
+ New syntax `Array{T} where T<:Integer`, indicating a union of types over all
specified values of `T` (represented by a `UnionAll` type). This provides behavior
similar to parametric methods or `typealias`, but can be used anywhere a type is
accepted. This syntax can also be used in method definitions, e.g.
`function inv(M::Matrix{T}) where T<:AbstractFloat`.
Anonymous functions can have type parameters via the syntax
`((x::Array{T}) where T<:Real) -> 2x`.
+ Implicit type parameters, e.g. `Vector{<:Real}` is equivalent to
`Vector{T} where T<:Real`, and similarly for `Vector{>:Int}` ([#20414]).
+ Much more accurate subtype and type intersection algorithms. Method sorting and
identification of equivalent and ambiguous methods are improved as a result.
Language changes
----------------
* "Inner constructor" syntax for parametric types is deprecated. For example,
in this definition:
```
type Foo{T,S<:Real}
x
Foo(x) = new(x)
end
```
the syntax `Foo(x) = new(x)` actually defined a constructor for `Foo{T,S}`,
i.e. the case where the type parameters are specified. For clarity, this
definition now must be written as `Foo{T,S}(x) where {T,S<:Real} = new(x)`
([#11310], [#20308]).
* The keywords used to define types have changed ([#19157], [#20418]).
+ `immutable` changes to `struct`
+ `type` changes to `mutable struct`
+ `abstract` changes to `abstract type ... end`
+ `bitstype 32 Char` changes to `primitive type Char 32 end`
In 0.6, `immutable` and `type` are still allowed as synonyms without a deprecation
warning.
* Multi-line and single-line nonstandard command literals have been added. A
nonstandard command literal is like a nonstandard string literal, but the
syntax uses backquotes (``` ` ```) instead of double quotes, and the
resulting macro called is suffixed with `_cmd`. For instance, the syntax
``` q`xyz` ``` is equivalent to `@q_cmd "xyz"` ([#18644]).
* Nonstandard string and command literals can now be qualified with their
module. For instance, `Base.r"x"` is now parsed as `Base.@r_str "x"`.
Previously, this syntax parsed as an implicit multiplication ([#18690]).
* For every binary operator `⨳`, `a .⨳ b` is now automatically equivalent to
the `broadcast` call `(⨳).(a, b)`. Hence, one no longer defines methods
for `.*` etcetera. This also means that "dot operations" automatically
fuse into a single loop, along with other dot calls `f.(x)` ([#17623]).
Similarly for unary operators ([#20249]).
* Newly defined methods are no longer callable from the same dynamic runtime
scope they were defined in ([#17057]).
* `isa` is now parsed as an infix operator with the same precedence as `in`
([#19677]).
* `@.` is now parsed as `@__dot__`, and can be used to add dots to
every function call, operator, and assignment in an expression ([#20321]).
* The identifier `_` can be assigned, but accessing its value is deprecated,
allowing this syntax to be used in the future for discarding values ([#9343],
[#18251], [#20328]).
* The `typealias` keyword is deprecated, and should be replaced with
`Vector{T} = Array{T,1}` or a `const` assignment ([#20500]).
* Experimental feature: `x^n` for integer literals `n` (e.g. `x^3`
or `x^-3`) is now lowered to `Base.literal_pow(^, x, Val{n})`, to enable
compile-time specialization for literal integer exponents ([#20530], [#20889]).
Breaking changes
----------------
This section lists changes that do not have deprecation warnings.
* The constructor of `SubString` now checks if the requsted view range
is defined by valid indices in the parent `AbstractString` ([#22511]).
* `readline`, `readlines` and `eachline` return lines without line endings by default.
You *must* use `readline(s, chomp=false)`, etc. to get the old behavior where
returned lines include trailing end-of-line character(s) ([#19944]).
* `String`s no longer have a `.data` field (as part of a significant performance
improvement). Use `Vector{UInt8}(str)` to access a string as a byte array.
However, allocating the `Vector` object has overhead. You can also use
`codeunit(str, i)` to access the `i`th byte of a `String`.
Use `sizeof(str)` instead of `length(str.data)`, and `pointer(str)` instead of
`pointer(str.data)` ([#19449]).
* Operations between `Float16` and `Integers` now return `Float16` instead of `Float32` ([#17261]).
* Keyword arguments are processed left-to-right: if the same keyword is specified more than
once, the rightmost occurrence takes precedence ([#17785]).
* The `lgamma(z)` function now uses a different (more standard) branch cut
for `real(z) < 0`, which differs from `log(gamma(z))` by multiples of 2π
in the imaginary part ([#18330]).
* `broadcast` now handles tuples, and treats any argument that is not a tuple
or an array as a "scalar" ([#16986]).
* `broadcast` now produces a `BitArray` instead of `Array{Bool}` for
functions yielding a boolean result. If you want `Array{Bool}`, use
`broadcast!` or `.=` ([#17623]).
* Broadcast `A[I...] .= X` with entirely scalar indices `I` is deprecated as
its behavior will change in the future. Use `A[I...] = X` instead.
* Operations like `.+` and `.*` on `Range` objects are now generic
`broadcast` calls (see [above](#language-changes)) and produce an `Array`.
If you want a `Range` result, use `+` and `*`, etcetera ([#17623]).
* `broadcast` now treats `Ref` (except for `Ptr`) arguments as 0-dimensional
arrays ([#18965]).
* `broadcast` now handles missing data (`Nullable`s) allowing operations to
be lifted over mixtures of `Nullable`s and scalars, as if the `Nullable`
were like an array with zero or one element ([#16961], [#19787]).
* The runtime now enforces when new method definitions can take effect ([#17057]).
The flip-side of this is that new method definitions should now reliably actually
take effect, and be called when evaluating new code ([#265]).
* The array-scalar methods of `/`, `\`, `*`, `+`, and `-` now follow broadcast promotion
rules. (Likewise for the now-deprecated array-scalar methods of `div`, `mod`, `rem`,
`&`, `|`, and `xor`; see "Deprecated or removed" below.) ([#19692]).
* `broadcast!(f, A)` now calls `f()` for each element of `A`, rather than doing `fill!(A, f())` ([#19722]).
* `rmprocs` now throws an exception if requested workers have not been completely
removed before `waitfor` seconds. With a `waitfor=0`, `rmprocs` returns immediately
without waiting for worker exits.
* `quadgk` has been moved from Base into a separate package ([#19741]).
* The `Collections` module has been removed, and all functions defined therein have been
moved to the `DataStructures` package ([#19800]).
* The `RepString` type has been moved to the
[LegacyStrings.jl package](https://github.com/JuliaArchive/LegacyStrings.jl).
* In macro calls with parentheses, e.g. `@m(a=1)`, assignments are now parsed as
`=` expressions, instead of as `kw` expressions ([#7669]).
* When used as an infix operator, `~` is now parsed as a call to an ordinary operator
with assignment precedence, instead of as a macro call ([#20406]).
* (µ "micro" and ɛ "latin epsilon") are considered equivalent to
the corresponding Greek characters in identifiers. `\varepsilon`
now tab-completes to U+03B5 (greek small letter epsilon) ([#19464]).
* `retry` now inputs the keyword arguments `delays` and `check` instead of
`n` and `max_delay`. The previous functionality can be achieved setting
`delays` to `ExponentialBackOff` ([#19331]).
* `transpose(::AbstractVector)` now always returns a `RowVector` view of the input (which is a
special 1×n-sized `AbstractMatrix`), not a `Matrix`, etc. In particular, for
`v::AbstractVector` we now have `(v.').' === v` and `v.' * v` is a scalar ([#19670]).
* Parametric types with "unspecified" parameters, such as `Array`, are now represented
as `UnionAll` types instead of `DataType`s ([#18457]).
* `Union` types have two fields, `a` and `b`, instead of a single `types` field.
The empty type `Union{}` is represented by a singleton of type `TypeofBottom` ([#18457]).
* The type `NTuple{N}` now refers to tuples where every element has the same type
(since it is shorthand for `NTuple{N,T} where T`). To get the old behavior of matching
any tuple, use `NTuple{N,Any}` ([#18457]).
* `FloatRange` has been replaced by `StepRangeLen`, and the internal
representation of `LinSpace` has changed. Aside from changes in
the internal field names, this leads to several differences in
behavior ([#18777]):
+ Both `StepRangeLen` and `LinSpace` can represent ranges of
arbitrary object types---they are no longer limited to
floating-point numbers.
+ For ranges that produce `Float64`, `Float32`, or `Float16`
numbers, `StepRangeLen` can be used to produce values with
little or no roundoff error due to internal arithmetic that is
typically twice the precision of the output result.
+ To take advantage of this precision, `linspace(start, stop,
len)` now returns a range of type `StepRangeLen` rather than
`LinSpace` when `start` and `stop` are
`FloatNN`. `LinSpace(start, stop, len)` always returns a
`LinSpace`.
+ `StepRangeLen(a, step, len)` constructs an ordinary-precision range
using the values and types of `a` and `step` as given, whereas
`range(a, step, len)` will attempt to match inputs `a::FloatNN`
and `step::FloatNN` to rationals and construct a `StepRangeLen`
that internally uses twice-precision arithmetic. These two
outcomes exhibit differences in both precision and speed.
* `A=>B` expressions are now parsed as calls instead of using `=>` as the
expression head ([#20327]).
* The `count` function no longer sums non-boolean values ([#20404])
* The generic `getindex(::AbstractString, ::AbstractVector)` method's signature has been
tightened to `getindex(::AbstractString, ::AbstractVector{<:Integer})`. Consequently,
indexing into `AbstractString`s with non-`AbstractVector{<:Integer}` `AbstractVector`s
now throws a `MethodError` in the absence of an appropriate specialization.
(Previously such cases failed less explicitly with the exception of
`AbstractVector{Bool}`, which now throws an `ArgumentError` noting that
logical indexing into strings is not supported.) ([#20248])
* Bessel, Hankel, Airy, error, Dawson, eta, zeta, digamma, inverse digamma,
trigamma, and polygamma special functions have been moved from Base to
the
[SpecialFunctions.jl package](https://github.com/JuliaMath/SpecialFunctions.jl)
([#20427]). Note that `airy`, `airyx` and `airyprime` have been deprecated
in favor of more specific functions (`airyai`, `airybi`, `airyaiprime`,
`airybiprimex`, `airyaix`, `airybix`, `airyaiprimex`, `airybiprimex`)
([#18050]).
* When a macro is called in the module in which that macro is defined, global variables
in the macro are now correctly resolved in the macro definition environment. Breakage
from this change commonly manifests as undefined variable errors that do not occur
under 0.5. Fixing such breakage typically requires sprinkling additional `esc`s in
the offending macro ([#15850]).
* `write` on an `IOBuffer` now returns a signed integer in order to be
consistent with other buffers ([#20609]).
* The `<:Integer` division fallback `/(::Integer, ::Integer)`, which formerly
inappropriately took precedence over other division methods for some
mixed-integer-type division calls, has been removed ([#19779]).
* `@async`, `@spawn`, `@spawnat`, `@fetch` and `@fetchfrom` no longer implicitly
localize variables. Previously, the expression would be wrapped in an implicit
`let` block ([#19594]).
* `parse` no longer accepts IPv4 addresses including leading zeros, octal, or hexadecimal.
Convert IPv4 addresses including octal or hexadecimal to decimal, and remove leading
zeros in decimal addresses ([#19811]).
* Closures shipped for remote execution via `@spawn` or `remotecall` now automatically
serialize globals defined under Main. For details, please refer to the paragraph
on "Global variables" under the "Parallel computing" chapter in the manual ([#19594]).
* `homedir` now determines the user's home directory via `libuv`'s `uv_os_homedir`,
rather than from environment variables ([#19636]).
* Workers now listen on an ephemeral port assigned by the OS. Previously workers would
listen on the first free port available from 9009 ([#21818]).
Library improvements
--------------------
* A new `@views` macro was added to convert a whole expression or block of code to
use views for all slices ([#20164]).
* `max`, `min`, and related functions (`minmax`, `maximum`, `minimum`, `extrema`)
now return `NaN` for `NaN` arguments ([#12563]).
* `oneunit(x)` function to return a dimensionful version of `one(x)`
(which is clarified to mean a dimensionless quantity if `x` is dimensionful) ([#20268]).
* The `chop` and `chomp` functions now return a `SubString` ([#18339]).
* Numbered stackframes printed in stacktraces can now be opened in an editor by
entering the corresponding number in the REPL and pressing `^Q` ([#19680]).
* The REPL now supports something called *prompt pasting* ([#17599]).
This activates when pasting text that starts with `julia> ` into the REPL.
In that case, only expressions starting with `julia> ` are parsed, the rest are removed.
This makes it possible to paste a chunk of code that has been copied from a REPL session
without having to scrub away prompts and outputs.
This can be disabled or enabled at will with `Base.REPL.enable_promptpaste(::Bool)`.
* The function `print_with_color` can now take a color
represented by an integer between 0 and 255 inclusive
as its first argument ([#18473]). For a number-to-color mapping, please refer to
[this chart](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Xterm_256color_chart.svg).
It is also possible to use numbers as colors in environment variables that customizes colors in the REPL.
For example, to get orange warning messages, simply set `ENV["JULIA_WARN_COLOR"] = 208`.
Please note that not all terminals support 256 colors.
* The function `print_with_color` no longer prints text in bold by default ([#18628]).
Instead, the function now take a keyword argument `bold::Bool`
which determines whether to print in bold or not. On some terminals, printing a color in non bold
results in slightly darker colors being printed than when printing in bold.
Therefore, light versions of the colors are now supported.
For the available colors see the help entry on `print_with_color`.
* The default text style for REPL input and answers has been changed from bold to normal ([#11250]).
They can be changed back to bold by setting the environment variables
`JULIA_INPUT_COLOR` and `JULIA_ANSWER_COLOR` to `"bold"`.
For example, one way of doing this is adding `ENV["JULIA_INPUT_COLOR"] = :bold`
and `ENV["JULIA_ANSWER_COLOR"] = :bold` to the `.juliarc.jl` file. See the
[manual section on customizing colors](https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/interacting-with-julia#Customizing-Colors-1)
for more information.
* The default color for info messages has been changed from blue to cyan
([#18442]), and for warning messages from red to yellow ([#18453]). This
can be changed back to the original colors by setting the environment
variables `JULIA_INFO_COLOR` to `"blue"` and `JULIA_WARN_COLOR` to `"red"`.
* Iteration utilities that wrap iterators and return other iterators (`enumerate`, `zip`, `rest`,
`countfrom`, `take`, `drop`, `cycle`, `repeated`, `product`, `flatten`, `partition`) have been
moved to the module `Base.Iterators` ([#18839]).
* BitArrays can now be constructed from arbitrary iterables, in particular from generator expressions,
e.g. `BitArray(isodd(x) for x = 1:100)` ([#19018]).
* `hcat`, `vcat`, and `hvcat` now work with `UniformScaling` objects, so
you can now do e.g. `[A I]` and it will concatenate an appropriately sized
identity matrix ([#19305]).
* New `accumulate` and `accumulate!` functions were added, which generalize `cumsum` and `cumprod`.
Also known as a [scan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum) operation ([#18931]).
* `reshape` now allows specifying one dimension with a `Colon()` (`:`) for the new shape, in which case
that dimension's length will be computed such that its product with all the other dimensions is equal
to the length of the original array ([#19919]).
* The new `to_indices` function provides a uniform interface for index conversions,
taking an array and a tuple of indices as arguments and returning a tuple of
integers and/or arrays of supported scalar indices. It will throw an `ArgumentError`
for any unsupported indices, and the returned arrays should be iterated over (and
not indexed into) to support more efficient logical indexing ([#19730]).
+ Using colons (`:`) to represent a collection of indices is deprecated. They now must be
explicitly converted to a specialized array of integers with the `to_indices` function.
As a result, the type of `SubArray`s that represent views over colon indices has changed.
+ Logical indexing is now more efficient. Logical arrays are converted by `to_indices` to
a lazy, iterable collection of indices that doesn't support indexing. A deprecation
provides indexing support with O(n) lookup.
+ The performance of indexing with `CartesianIndex`es is also improved in many situations.
* A new `titlecase` function was added, to capitalize the first character of each word within a string ([#19469]).
* `any` and `all` now always short-circuit, and `mapreduce` never short-circuits ([#19543]).
That is, not every member of the input iterable will be visited if a `true` (in the case of `any`) or
`false` (in the case of `all`) value is found, and `mapreduce` will visit all members of the iterable.
* Additional methods for `ones` and `zeros` functions were added
to support the same signature as the `similar` function ([#19635]).
* `count` now has a `count(itr)` method equivalent to `count(identity, itr)` ([#20403]).
* Methods for `map` and `filter` with `Nullable` arguments have been implemented;
the semantics are as if the `Nullable` were a container with zero or one elements ([#16961]).
* New `@test_warn` and `@test_nowarn` macros were added in the `Base.Test` module to
test for the presence or absence of warning messages ([#19903]).
* `logging` can now be used to redirect `info`, `warn`, and `error` messages
either universally or on a per-module/function basis ([#16213]).
* New function `Base.invokelatest(f, args...)` to call the latest version
of a function in circumstances where an older version may be called
instead (e.g. in a function calling `eval`) ([#19784]).
* A new `iszero(x)` function was added, to quickly check whether `x` is zero
(or is all zeros, for an array) ([#19950]).
* `notify` now returns a count of tasks woken up ([#19841]).
* A new nonstandard string literal `raw"..."` was added,
for creating strings with no interpolation or unescaping ([#19900]).
* A new `Dates.Time` type was added that supports representing the time of day
with up to nanosecond resolution ([#12274]).
* Raising one or negative one to a negative integer power formerly threw a `DomainError`.
One raised to any negative integer power now yields one, negative one raised to any
negative even integer power now yields one, and negative one raised to any negative
odd integer power now yields negative one. Similarly, raising `true` to any negative
integer power now yields `true` rather than throwing a `DomainError` ([#18342]).
* A new `@macroexpand` macro was added as a convenient alternative to the `macroexpand` function ([#18660]).
* `invoke` now supports keyword arguments ([#20345]).
* A new `ConjArray` type was added, as a wrapper type for lazy complex conjugation of arrays.
Currently, it is used by default for the new `RowVector` type only, and
enforces that both `transpose(vec)` and `ctranspose(vec)` are views not copies ([#20047]).
* `rem` now accepts a `RoundingMode` argument via `rem(x, y, r::RoundingMode)`, yielding
`x - y*round(x/y, r)` without intermediate rounding. In particular, `rem(x, y, RoundNearest)`
yields a value in the interval `[-abs(y)/2, abs(y)/2]`), which corresponds to the IEE754
`remainder` function. Similarly, `rem2pi(x, r::RoundingMode)` now exists as well, yielding
`rem(x, 2pi, r::RoundingMode)` but with greater accuracy ([#10946]).
* `map[!]` and `broadcast[!]` now have dedicated methods for sparse/structured
vectors/matrices. Specifically, `map[!]` and `broadcast[!]` over combinations including
one or more `SparseVector`, `SparseMatrixCSC`, `Diagonal`, `Bidiagonal`, `Tridiagonal`,
or `SymTridiagonal`, and any number of `broadcast` scalars, `Vector`s, or `Matrix`s,
now efficiently yield `SparseVector`s or `SparseMatrix`s as appropriate ([#19239],
[#19371], [#19518], [#19438], [#19690], [#19724], [#19926], [#19934], [#20009]).
* The operators `!` and `∘` (`\circ<tab>` at the REPL and in most code editors) now
respectively perform predicate function negation and function composition. For example,
`map(!iszero, (0, 1))` is now equivalent to `map(x -> !iszero(x), (0, 1))` and
`map(uppercase ∘ hex, 250:255)` is now equivalent to
`map(x -> uppercase(hex(x)), 250:255)` ([#17155]).
* `enumerate` now supports the two-argument form `enumerate(::IndexStyle, iterable)`.
This form allows specification of the returned indices' style. For example,
`enumerate(IndexLinear, iterable)` yields linear indices and
`enumerate(IndexCartesian, iterable)` yields cartesian indices ([#16378]).
* Jump to first/last history entries in the REPL via "Alt-<" and "Alt->" ([#22829]).
Compiler/Runtime improvements
-----------------------------
* `ccall` is now implemented as a macro,
removing the need for special code-generator support for `Intrinsics` ([#18754]).
* `ccall` gained limited support for a `llvmcall` calling-convention.
This can replace many uses of `llvmcall` with a simpler, shorter declaration ([#18754]).
* All `Intrinsics` are now `Builtin` functions instead and have proper error checking
and fall-back static compilation support ([#18754]).
Deprecated or removed
---------------------
* `ipermutedims(A::AbstractArray, p)` has been deprecated in favor of
`permutedims(A, invperm(p))` ([#18891]).
* Linear indexing is now only supported when there is exactly one
non-cartesian index provided. Allowing a trailing index at dimension `d` to
linearly access the higher dimensions from array `A` (beyond `size(A, d)`)
has been deprecated as a stricter constraint during bounds checking.
Instead, `reshape` the array such that its dimensionality matches the
number of indices ([#20079]).
* `Multimedia.@textmime "mime"` has been deprecated. Instead define
`Multimedia.istextmime(::MIME"mime") = true` ([#18441]).
* `isdefined(a::Array, i::Int)` has been deprecated in favor of `isassigned` ([#18346]).
* The three-argument `SubArray` constructor (which accepts `dims::Tuple` as its third
argument) has been deprecated in favor of the two-argument equivalent (the
`dims::Tuple` argument being superfluous) ([#19259]).
* `is` has been deprecated in favor of `===` (which used to be an alias for `is`) ([#17758]).
* Ambiguous methods for addition and subtraction between `UniformScaling`s and `Number`s,
for example `(+)(J::UniformScaling, x::Number)`, have been deprecated in favor of
unambiguous, explicit equivalents, for example `J.λ + x` ([#17607]).
* `num` and `den` have been deprecated in favor of `numerator` and `denominator` respectively ([#19233],[#19246]).
* `delete!(ENV::EnvDict, k::AbstractString, def)` has been deprecated in favor of
`pop!(ENV, k, def)`. Be aware that `pop!` returns `k` or `def`, whereas `delete!`
returns `ENV` or `def` ([#18012]).
* infix operator `$` has been deprecated in favor of infix `⊻` or function `xor` ([#18977]).
* The single-argument form of `write` (`write(x)`, with implicit `STDOUT` output stream),
has been deprecated in favor of the explicit equivalent `write(STDOUT, x)` ([#17654]).
* `Dates.recur` has been deprecated in favor of `filter` ([#19288])
* A number of ambiguous `convert` operations between `Number`s (especially `Real`s)
and `Date`, `DateTime`, and `Period` types have been deprecated in favor of
unambiguous `convert` and explicit constructor calls. Additionally, ambiguous colon
construction of `<:Period` ranges without step specification, for example
`Dates.Hour(1):Dates.Hour(2)`, has been deprecated in favor of such construction
including step specification, for example `Dates.Hour(1):Dates.Hour(1):Dates.Hour(2)`
([#19920]).
* `cummin` and `cummax` have been deprecated in favor of `accumulate` ([#18931]).
* The `Array` constructor syntax `Array(T, dims...)` has been deprecated
in favor of the forms `Array{T,N}(dims...)` (where `N` is known, or
particularly `Vector{T}(dims...)` for `N = 1` and `Matrix{T}(dims...)` for `N = 2`),
and `Array{T}(dims...)` (where `N` is not known). Likewise for `SharedArray`s ([#19989]).
* `sumabs` and `sumabs2` have been deprecated in favor of `sum(abs, x)` and `sum(abs2, x)`, respectively.
`maxabs` and `minabs` have similarly been deprecated in favor of `maximum(abs, x)` and `minimum(abs, x)`.
Likewise for the in-place counterparts of these functions ([#19598]).
* The array-reducing form of `isinteger` (`isinteger(x::AbstractArray)`) has been
deprecated in favor of `all(isinteger, x)` ([#19925]).
* `produce`, `consume` and iteration over a Task object have been deprecated in favor of
using Channels for inter-task communication ([#19841]).
* The `negate` keyword has been deprecated from all functions in the `Dates` adjuster
API (`adjust`, `tonext`, `toprev`, `Date`, `Time`, and `DateTime`). Instead use
predicate function negation via the `!` operator
(see [Library Improvements](#library-improvements)) ([#20213]).
* `@test_approx_eq x y` has been deprecated in favor of `@test isapprox(x,y)` or `@test x ≈ y` ([#4615]).
* `Matrix()` and `Matrix{T}()` have been deprecated in favor of the explicit forms
`Matrix(0, 0)` and `Matrix{T}(0, 0)` ([#20330]).
* Vectorized functions have been deprecated in favor of dot syntax ([#17302], [#17265],
[#18558], [#19711], [#19712], [#19791], [#19802], [#19931], [#20543], [#20228]).
* All methods of character predicates (`isalnum`, `isalpha`, `iscntrl`, `isdigit`,
`isnumber`, `isgraph`, `islower`, `isprint`, `ispunct`, `isspace`, `isupper`,
`isxdigit`) that accept `AbstractStrings` have been deprecated in favor of `all`.
For example, `isnumber("123")` should now be expressed `all(isnumber, "123")`
([#20342]).
* A few names related to indexing traits have been changed: `LinearIndexing` and
`linearindexing` have been deprecated in favor of `IndexStyle`. `LinearFast` has
been deprecated in favor of `IndexLinear`, and `LinearSlow` has been deprecated in
favor of `IndexCartesian` ([#16378]).
* The two-argument forms of `map` (`map!(f, A)`) and `asyncmap!` (`asyncmap!(f, A)`)
have been deprecated in anticipation of future semantic changes ([#19721]).
* `unsafe_wrap(String, ...)` has been deprecated in favor of `unsafe_string` ([#19449]).
* `zeros` and `ones` methods accepting an element type as the first argument and an
array as the second argument, for example `zeros(Float64, [1, 2, 3])`, have been
deprecated in favor of equivalent methods with the second argument instead the
size of the array, for example `zeros(Float64, size([1, 2, 3]))` ([#21183]).
* `Base.promote_eltype_op` has been deprecated ([#19669], [#19814], [#19937]).
* `isimag` has been deprecated ([#19949]).
* The tuple-of-types form of `invoke`, `invoke(f, (types...), ...)`, has been deprecated
in favor of the tuple-type form `invoke(f, Tuple{types...}, ...)` ([#18444]).
* `Base._promote_array_type` has been deprecated ([#19766]).
* `broadcast_zpreserving` has been deprecated ([#19533], [#19720]).
* Methods allowing indexing of tuples by `AbstractArray`s with more than one dimension
have been deprecated. (Indexing a tuple by such a higher-dimensional `AbstractArray`
should yield a tuple with more than one dimension, but tuples are one-dimensional.)
([#19737]).
* `@test_approx_eq a b` has been deprecated in favor of `@test a ≈ b` (or,
equivalently, `@test ≈(a, b)` or `@test isapprox(a, b)`).
`@test_approx_eq_eps` has been deprecated in favor of new `@test` syntax:
`@test` now supports the syntax `@test f(args...) key=val ...` for
`@test f(args..., key=val...)`. This syntax allows, for example, writing
`@test a ≈ b atol=c` in place of `@test ≈(a, b, atol=c)` (and hence
`@test_approx_eq_eps a b c`) ([#19901]).
* `takebuf_array` has been deprecated in favor of `take!`, and `takebuf_string(x)`
has been deprecated in favor of `String(take!(x))` ([#19088]).
* `convert` methods from `Diagonal` and `Bidiagonal` to subtypes of
`AbstractTriangular` have been deprecated ([#17723]).
* `Base.LinAlg.arithtype` has been deprecated. If you were using `arithtype` within a
`promote_op` call, instead use `promote_op(Base.LinAlg.matprod, Ts...)`. Otherwise,
consider defining equivalent functionality locally ([#18218]).
* Special characters (`#{}()[]<>|&*?~;`) should now be quoted in commands. For example,
``` `export FOO=1\;` ``` should replace ``` `export FOO=1;` ``` and
``` `cd $dir '&&' $thingie` ``` should replace ``` `cd $dir && $thingie` ``` ([#19786]).
* Zero-argument `Channel` constructors (`Channel()`, `Channel{T}()`) have been deprecated
in favor of equivalents accepting an explicit `Channel` size
(`Channel(2)`, `Channel{T}(2)`) ([#18832]).
* The zero-argument constructor `MersenneTwister()` has been
deprecated in favor of the explicit `MersenneTwister(0)` ([#16984]).
* `Base.promote_type(op::Type, Ts::Type...)` has been removed as part of an overhaul
of `broadcast`'s promotion mechanism. If you need the functionality of that
`Base.promote_type` method, consider defining it locally via
`Core.Inference.return_type(op, Tuple{Ts...})` ([#18642]).
* `bitbroadcast` has been deprecated in favor of `broadcast`, which now produces a
`BitArray` instead of `Array{Bool}` for functions yielding a boolean result ([#19771]).
* To complete the deprecation of histogram-related functions, `midpoints` has been
deprecated. Instead use the
[StatsBase.jl package](https://github.com/JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl)'s
`midpoints` function ([#20058]).
* Passing a type argument to `LibGit2.cat` has been deprecated in favor of a simpler,
two-argument method for `LibGit2.cat` ([#20435]).
* The `LibGit2.owner` function for finding the repository which owns a given Git object
has been deprecated in favor of `LibGit2.repository` ([#20135]).
* The `LibGit2.GitAnyObject` type has been renamed to `LibGit2.GitUnknownObject` to
clarify its intent ([#19935]).
* The `LibGit2.GitOid` type has been renamed to `LibGit2.GitHash` for clarity ([#19878]).
* Finalizing `LibGit2` objects with `finalize` has been deprecated in favor of using `close`
([#19660]).
* Parsing string dates from a `Dates.DateFormat` object has been deprecated as part of a
larger effort toward faster, more extensible date parsing ([#20952]).
* `EnvHash` has been renamed to `EnvDict` ([#24167]).
Command-line option changes
---------------------------
* In `polly` builds (`USE_POLLY := 1`), the new flag `--polly={yes|no}` controls whether
`@polly` declarations are respected. (With `--polly=no`, `@polly` declarations are
ignored.) This flag is also available in non-`polly` builds (`USE_POLLY := 0`),
but has no effect ([#18159]).
