== Highlights ==
+
-
 
+
-
Causeway now processes the language neutral [http://waterken.sourceforge.net/debug/ trace file format] defined by Tyler Close and generated from the Waterken server. [http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2009/HPL-2009-78.html Many other functionality and usability improvements]. Thanks Terry Stanley and Tyler Close.

Switched from SWT v2135 to v3.3.1.1. E now works with SWT on Mac OS X 10.5. Thanks Kevin Reid.
+
-
 
+
-
Kevin's new [[Proxy]] design is implemented; [[EProxyResolver]] is deprecated in favor of it.
+
-
 
+
-
The E parser has been updated to accept the new [[guard-based auditing]]-friendly E syntax, but guard-based auditing itself is not yet implemented. Thanks Kevin Reid.

== Features ==
+
-
 
+
-
[http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-February/011870.html Lamport slots are now pass-by-construction Unums] thanks to Martin Scheffler.
+
-
 
+
-
[http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2007-March/007602.html Made SealedBox final] thanks to Tyler Close.
+
-
 
+
-
[http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-March/011951.html We have experimental Joule-like multichannels] thanks to Mark Miller (and Dean Tribble for the multichannel semantics)
+
-
 
+
-
Added a command line option to webServerSocket80.e to tell it to use a different port.
+
-
 
+
-
ReadOnlyFile now supports the copyTo/2 method of its underlying File.
+
-
 
+
-
File now has a makeParentDirs/1 method, which will (attempt to) make as many parent directories as necessary.
+
-
 
+
-
Term tree matching is still much less powerful than regular expressions, but is at least not so naively greedy. Matches like
+
-
  <code>def term`[@x*, @y, @z]` := term`[4,5,6,7,8]`</code>
+
-
used to fail because @x* would consume everything, leaving nothing for @y and @z. See lessgreedy.updoc for more examples.

Fixed [http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-March/011964.html makeMembrane fixed] thanks to Martin Scheffler.
+
-
 
+
-
Typed verbs, i.e., verbs that look like Java signatures such as "__conformTo(Guard)" that are normally used to disambiguate Java overloads, are now suppressed for sugar method including Miranda methods. Thanks to Kevin Reid.
+
-
 
+
-
Fixed [https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/index.php?func=detail&aid=1605810&group_id=75274&atid=551529 TraversalKey bug] thanks to Kevin Reid.

+
-
Fixed [http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-April/012010.html bug in swtGrid quasiParser] (though the bug itself may be post 9.1b) thanks to Martin Scheffler.
+
-
 
+
-
Fixed [http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-November/012365.html emacs e-mode indentation] thanks to Pierre Radermecker. It had worked for me. But this e-mode in my Emacs 22.2.50.1 Carbon version on Mac OS X 10.5.6 has again the original symptom: when I hit tab, I get "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil". I'm not an elisp hacker, so I don't know what the problem is.
+
-
 
+
-
Fixed [http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2007-December/012388.html Ordered region comparison bug] thanks to Allen Short.
+
-
 
+
-
Fixed [http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2008-March/012635.html javax.swing.ActionEvent.getActionCommand() unsuppressed] thanks to Kevin Reid.
+
-
 
+
-
The taming of JFileChooser#APPROVE_SELECTION, JFileChooser#CANCEL_SELECTION, java.awt.event.MouseEvent#getButton/0 now lists these as unsuppressed.
+
-
 
+
-
BaseLexer now accepts "\/" as synonymous with "/". TermL, inheriting this rule, is now a superset of JSON. Thanks to Kevin Reid.
+
-
 
+
-
Fixed reflection operations that broke the sameness guarantee (if a == b then they are indistinguishable): The implementation class of integer objects is no longer revealed by __getAllegedType(), and the Help object avoids revealing implementation classes. <!-- r468, r469 -->
+
-
 
+
-
== Other changes ==
+
-
 
+
-
Unresolved proxies no longer print as "<Remote Promise>". Rationale: There is no way a program can (without making assumptions about English) make this same distinction; it was arguably a bug that the printing subsystem could in order to print them differently.
