New features:

  • all : implemented "classic" abstract classes and functions (see haxe-evolution#69) (#9716)
  • all : module-level static declarations (#8460)
  • all : implemented rest arguments (variadic functions) for all targets with haxe.Rest type (#9961)
  • all : per-thread event loops sys.thread.Thread.events (#9868)
  • all : added @:inheritDoc meta to inherit documentation for a type or field from another type or field (#9817)
  • all : support method overloading for extern methods on all targets (#9793)
  • all : constructors forwarding for abstracts with @:forward.new (#9735)
  • all : added EIs constructor to haxe.macro.Expr (#9689)
  • all : added variance forwarding with @:forward.variance (#9741)
  • all : treat Any as Dynamic in variance unification (#6649)
  • all : added some common exception types to haxe.exceptions package
  • all : support metadata in var declaration syntax (#9618)
  • all : added StringTools.unsafeCharAt (#9467)
  • eval : added libuv bindings under eval.luv package (#9903)

  • cs : UDP socket implementation (#8498)
  • cs : added cs.Syntax module (#10051)
  • jvm : added -D jvm.dynamic-level to control the amount of dynamic support code being generated. 0 = none, 1 = field read/write optimization (default), 2 = compile-time method closures

  • all : allow @:noDoc on fields too (#9893)
  • all : made Map abstract transitive (#9877)
  • all : support @:native on enum constructors (#9806)
  • all : support @:using on typedefs (#9749)
  • all : changed multiline errors format to use "..." as a prefix for subsequent lines (#9651)
  • all : improved type inference with constrained monomorphs (#9549)
  • all : print no-argument function types as ()->... instead of Void->... (#8148)
  • all : allow function as package name
  • all : improved object inlining (#9599)
  • display : narrow range for hover on parametrized types (#8073)
  • cs : added .NET 5.0 support (#10043)
  • cpp : support native constructors on extern classes (#9516)
    php: php.Syntax.customArrayDecl (#9113)
  • php : added externs for various php functions and classes
  • php : optimized anonymous objects instantiation (#7916)
  • hl : skip compilation if no module has been changed (#9922)
  • lua : use hx-lua-simdjson for Lua json parsing (#9885)
  • jvm : less CPU consuming sys.thread.Lock implementation

  • all : get and set functions of haxe.io.Float64Array actually use 64-bit floats now (#9972)
  • all : treat empty blocks {} as object declarations in array comprehension (fixes #9971)
  • all : haxe.format.JsonParser: preserve Float-typed values when they are written as such in JSON (ie. "5.0" or "0.0") (#9844)

  • all : fixed some inconsistency in variance unification for abstracts (#9743)
