:leaves: A refreshing programming language for the front-end web
The development server was type checking twice on each change, and it was checking everything. Now it only checks what the application is actually using, and it checks only once.
async keyword for components (to be loaded later from a different file).return keyword for early returns in blocks with destructuring.defer keyword for loading code from different files.{ key => value }.-> name.highlight parameter for here documents.@highlight-file directive.await-ed to wait with the hash navigation.Html as is (no Html expression is needed).<{...}> are deprecated in favor of Html fragments <></>..name now requires the type as a parameter .name(User).<, >, <=, >= operators are now only work with numbers.record and enum keywords are replaced by type.&&, || operators now only work with booleans.Dom.setValue now returns the element when setting the value to empty string.Array functions have been refactored to not use inlined JavaScript.Html.fromEvent (was used internally).FileSize.format to Mint only.Test.Context.assert function.The runtime has been refactored and moved into the repository (the other will be archived).

This release got pretty big and it would take a long time to gather all the changes, apologies for that.

|> now puts the left hand side value as the first argument instead of the last. #571There are too many changes to list here because of the standard library cleanup and pipe operator changes so consult the PRs #532 #503 and the API documentation if something doesn't work.
Make sure the build command succeeds if the public/assets folder is present.
The parser has been speeded up thanks to @asterite (#537) - it should parse twice as fast and consume half the memory in the general case.

The time module has been completely reworked, check the PR: #526 and the docs for more information.
Makefile: Build the binary only if there are changed filesFixed runtime error in Clipboard.set
Fixed a regression in inline styles handling, where using an non-string attribute could lead to runtime errors (https://github.com/mint-lang/mint-runtime/pull/24)
Time is now automatically serialized into String #357& in styles #479or operator can be used with Result(error, value) as wellsnippetSupport client setting #520--runtime flag for the build and compile commands #476Clipboard.set now returns a string and restores focus and text selection #524Time.fromUnixTimestampInMs and Time.toUnixTimestampInMs #522Components can now be exported as web components #501
A new field was added to the mint.json for this purpose:
{
"name": "my-library",
"web-components": {
"Button": "my-button"
},
"source-directories": [
"source"
]
}
In the object, the key of the field refers to the component and the value refers to the tag name of the web component, in this case, the Button component will be exported as <my-button>.
