Version 0.47.0 released

Published on: 2026-05-22

This release addresses quite a few bugs related to the recent dot notation support, removes the concept of “auto quoting” values, and introduces lambda keys for dictionaries.

New Features

• No longer auto-quoting values. Now keeping track of whether quotations are meant to be data or operators internally.

• Introduced the concept of lambda keys (^-prefixed) for dictionaries, for storing executable quotations. Essentially, you now can store executable quotations inside dictionaries as follows:

  {4 :value (stack.dup *) ^square} :test

  Which can then be accessed via dot-notation, like this:

  test.value test.square puts! ; outputs 16
• Added dict.lambda symbol store operators in dictionaries.

Fixes and Improvements

• Various minor documentation fixes.
• sys.ls-r now returns directories and symlinks as well.
• Fixed compilation of dictionary literals (Closes #194).
• Displaying hint message in case of unhandled exceptions if -d is not specified (Closes #196).
• Updated vendor library paths to include architecture information as well.
• Fixed resolution of static libraries based on min sources rather than current project.
• Upgraded OpenSSL to version 4.0.0.
