dev 2014-05-30
* Perlito5 (Perl 5 compiler):
- more than 1000 tests!
- Perl5-to-Perl6 compiler
- 'perlito5.org' web page moved to github
- implement 5.20 "prototype" attribute
- implement 5.20 "hash slices"
- implement 5.16 "__SUB__"
- 'use vars', 'use constant'
- bugfixes:
-- allow special variables in "for" loop
-- implement "\( @a )" in p5-js
-- 'local' now works with subscripted variables
-- implement '$;'
-- many more
dev 2012-04-12
* Perlito5 (Perl 5 compiler):
-- namespace Perlito5X contains versions of CPAN modules adapted for perlito
-- option "-B" is now the default; this executes immediately: perlito5 -e 'say "ok"'
-- option "-MO=Deparse":
$ node perlito5.js -Isrc5/lib -MO=Deparse -e ' while (1) { say "works" } '
-- environment variable PERL5LIB=src5/lib now works
- parser:
-- autoquote hash-keys fix
-- string interpolation in m//
-- accept underlines inside numbers
- javascript backend:
-- AUTOLOAD
-- tie() - TIEARRAY, STORE, FETCH
-- string increment
-- negative index in array
-- more file and process operations: chdir, unlink, close, exit
-- control functions: next, last, redo, break
-- more functions: rand, printf, sprintf
-- "continue" blocks
-- GLOB references
- perl5 backend:
-- requires v5.10
* Perlito6 (Perl 6 compiler):
-- updated method hyper syntax to use >>. instead of .>>
9.0 2012-04-11
* Perlito5 (Perl 5 compiler):
- parser:
-- there is now an internal "grammar API"; new words can be added to the grammar from inside perl5 modules;
The non-standard "token" grammar was moved to a module
-- here-docs
-- new Perl5-in-Perl6 backend (experimental)
-- new option -Bjs/-Bperl5
-- new option -Cast-perl5
-- added option -I
Note: -I./src5/lib is required to compile the compiler and also to run some of the tests
-- runs some tests from the perl5 test suite (pmurias++)
-- implemented prototypes (function signatures)
-- "use", import/unimport; "use strict"/"no strict"
- perl5 backend:
-- use native data structures and ops
- javascript backend:
-- works on node-js (pmurias++)
-- @ISA and inheritance
-- %ENV, @ARGV
-- simple regexes (using javascript native regex)
-- symbol tables/typeglobs
-- references
-- "local", "our"; goto &sub
-- wantarray; each; __PACKAGE__
-- native javascript can be accessed with JS::inline('string')
-- reduced generated code size; emitted code is more optimized and better formatted
-- cleanup unused modules from the browser backend
- javascript backend regressions:
-- the d8 shell (v8 javascript) doesn't support some file system functions needed by the compiler
-- perlito5 calling convention is incompatible with native javascript
The last commit using native javascript calls is "e1e3316b"
* Perlito6 (Perl 6 compiler):
- compiler namespace moved from Perlito to Perlito6
8.0 2011-12-24
- added new compiler for Perl version 5.
* Perlito Perl 5:
- command line "perlito5.pl"
- supported backends: Perl 5, Javascript
- source code in src5/ directory
* Perlito Perl 6:
- command line renamed to "perlito6.pl"
- supported backends: Perl 5, Python 2.6, Javascript
- new experimental backend: Java
- fixed META.yml for "v6.pm" CPAN distribution (thanks Aevar)
- fixed unicode IO, added unicode tests
- add some formatting to Perl5 and Javascript output
- methods: map, grep
- operators: x
- source code moved to src6/ directory
Regressions:
- removed '-B' command line flag (since 7.0)
- backends pending upgrade to the new AST: Common Lisp, Ruby 1.9, Eval
- backends no longer supported in this version: Go, Parrot, Rakudo, Clojure
7.0 2011-04-20
- supported backends: Perl 5, Python 2.6, Javascript
- added "perlito" command-line compiler and shell
- new distribution "v6.pm" (Perlito in Perl 5)
This replaces Pugs::Compiler::Perl5 as the v6.pm compiler in CPAN.
- correct operator precedence
- interpolation of variables and code in strings
- 'unless' and statement modifiers
- several fixes in List, Hash, Array, Block, Bool, Str, Mu
- operators: numeric autoincrements, defined-or, range
Regressions:
- removed '-B' command line flag
