========
20091108

  messages
- SELECT DISTINCT
- New extra demos: orm1 and versioned1

========
20090926
========

- Reimplemented client-side code generation to use an interpreter, rather than
  compilation to JavaScript; this avoids common browser flaws: lack of
  optimization of tail calls and occasional bugs in closure handling.
- Bug fixes

========
20090919
========

- Bug fixes
- Optimization improvements
- Expanded grid demo in demo/more: optional columns, sorting, filtering,
  paging, selecting rows, aggregate row

========
20090912
========

- Bug fixes
- Optimization improvements
- New set of extra demos in demo/more

========
20090825
========

- Many bug fixes
- Remote procedure calls must be marked with the new 'rpc' function.
- Some tweaks to enable usage on OSX (suggested by Paul Snively)

========
20090718
========

- New application protocols: CGI and FastCGI

- More JavaScript events added to tags in standard library
- New manual section on using the foreign function interface (FFI)

========
20090623
========

- Many bug fixes
- Mutually-recursive datatypes
- SML-style pattern-matching syntax for "fun", "fn", and local "val"
- Backwards-incompatible change to syntax of formal constructor parameters to
  value-level functions, to support the previous change
- Path map support inspired by SML/NJ CM and MLton ML Basis
- Start of some new standard library modules
- Some improvements to JavaScript runtime, including better error handling

========
20090505
========

- Reimplement constructor class resolution to be more general and Prolog-like
- SQL table constraints
- URLs
- Client-side error handling callbacks
- CSS
- Signing cookie values cryptographically to thwart cross site request forgery
- Blobs and HTTP file upload
- SQL outer joins
- SQL views
- Subforms
- C and JavaScript FFI
- Path rewriting

========
20090405
========

- Asynchronous message-passing and the associated server-side client
  bookkeeping
- Reimplement parts of the client-side runtime system to avoid space leaks
- spawn and sleep
- Expand the constructor class instance rule format

========
20090312
========

- Replace type-level "fold" with "map"
- Replace expression-level "fold" with folders, defined in Top and
  supported by some special compiler inference
- Replace guarded constructors with guarded types, introduced only by
  guarded expression abstraction, and with a new explicit application form
- Kind polymorphism
- Generalize type classes to constructor classes
- Initial compilation of client-side code to JavaScript
- Initial support for mixed client- and server-side programming (i.e., "AJAX")
- src/coq: Coq formalization of a core Ur-like calculus

========
20081209
========

- Optimization: Fusing page writes with calls to recursive functions
- Optimization of bottleneck compiler phases
- Reference manual

- Fix bug that sometimes led to omission of initial "<html>" in pages
- Take advantage of nested functions in some demos
- "profile" option that may appear in .urp files, to enable gprof profiling
- "-guided-demo" option that works like "-demo" but uses less screen space for
  prose

========
20081118
========

- Nested function definitions
- Primitive "time" type
- Nullable SQL columns (via "option")
- Cookies
- Compiler: Specialization of functions to known arguments (especially of
  function type)

========
20081028
========

- Add GCCARGS configure option

========
20081027
========

- On missing inputs, print an error message, but don't exit the web server.
- Remove need for "() <-" notation.
