0.8.0

Language Changes:

• Add a "new" operator for creating new things, currently just new UUIDs: new Id(entity <path.id>)
• Change the syntax for path identifiers to include the ^ symbol as an operator to "go up one container" in the definition hierarchy
• A story's implementedBy is now a DomainRef, not just a PathIdentifier
• Messages no longer have a "sender" field automatically added to them
• Entity Handlers can optionally have a "for state " expression to indicate how to handle messages in a specific state
• Contexts now support projection definitions as a simple aggregate
• Consequently, added support for projection references too
• Context handlers now optionally have a "for projection " expression to indicate how to process a project's messages
• Added an "append" action to support appending a value on to a collection of values
• Fix precedence of operators so arbitrary ones come last
• Recognize known operators "pow" and "now"
• Support arbitrary operators like today()
• Type validation is now implemented for expressions and actions
• Alternations are no longer containers of type
• Invariants can now be undermined (???)
• Don't allow empty Plant definitions (must use ???)

AST changes:

• Moved the isContainer method from RiddlValue to RiddlNode
• Alternation is now a container of TypeExpression so it can be descended
• "Implicit" is now a concept of any Definition equating to having an empty name. Currently only used by Examples
• Added Projection class to AST for use in later work but needed for validation type expression in current work

New Features:

• Add a subclass to Folidng State, PathResolutionState, to implement path resolution as described above.
• Implemented field and TypeRef traversal for path resolution
• Descriptions are not a missing item if the definition it is attached to is completely empty, say with ???
  ( Added a new experimental Kalix translator

Improvements

• Added a new test case for running staged riddlc on arbitrary conf file
• Add a lookupParentage method to Symboltable
• Add a resolvePathFromSymTab method to Validation
• Use new resolvepathFromSymTab method in checkPathRef
• Make getPathIdType handle full path identifiers

Refactoring:

• Generalize ValidationMessage into its own module, Messages, for use by any Folding pass
• Add a subclass to Folding State, MessagesState for handling message generation

Bug Fixes

• Fixed path resolution yet again to handle nested paths and includes
• Fixed a bug with errors being reported for each popped include scope
• Fixed a bug in inlet/outlet entity references
• Path resolution works much better
• Make sure hierarchy is right for OnClauses
• Avoid checking for assignment compatibility in certain cases where
  it isn't possible

Miscellaneous:

• Fix a variety of test cases impacted by all of the foregoing

• Improved error messages in validation
• Removed duplicate path resolution che
• Improved build workflows. Uses latest hugo now
• Added a releasing guide to document the process

• Update the releasing guide
• Add an IJ test case run file for testing arbitrary riddl source
• Update the releasing guide
• Add an IJ test case run file for testing arbitrary riddl source
