Rhombus is a general-purpose programming language that is easy to use and uniquely customizable.

As of this release:

  • Add annot and annot.def as ways to define an annotation without
    directly writing meta-time (i.e., macro) code.

  • Add as as a binding form, which is sometimes more readable for
    naming than using && and provides a way to shadow an identifier
    that is bound as a binding form.

  • Change class to bind inherited names using the corresponding
    superclass or interface reference.

  • Change space.enforest to adjust scopes in the same way as for a
    macro transformer when applying an identifier handler.

  • ffi: Add an initialized-array variant of new.

  • pict: Change explain_anim to add a ~label_as argument. Change
    Pict.rebuilt to replace as rebuilt, and also add a ~as_rebuilt
    argument to select the old or new bevavior. The Pict.rebuild
    method also supports ~as_rebuilt. Improve magic_move and
    cross_fade to better handle paragraph points and multiple
    instances of a child pict.

  • slideshow: Add slide_transition and continued page numbering.

Thank you to community members who contributed this release.
