The module is renamed to `Mark`, and functions renamed to avoid redundancy:
`Marked.mark` is now `Mark.add`
`Marked.unmark` is now `Mark.remove`
`Marked.map_under_mark` is now simply `Mark.map`
etc.
`Marked.same_mark_as` is replaced by `Mark.copy`, but with the arguments
swapped (which seemed more convenient throughout)
Since a type `Mark.t` would indicate a mark, and to avoid confusion, the type
`Marked.t` is renamed to `Mark.ed` as a shorthand for `Mark.marked` ; this part
can easily be removed if that's too much quirkiness.
This is a hack, but not a dirty one: a new command `catala pygmentize` is added,
which is just a wrapper around `pygmentize` that calls it with the proper lexers
defined.
The point is that this needs no installation, just a stock `pygmentize`
installation and the `catala` binary.
This leverages the embedded lexer already used for HTML output, and uses the
LaTeX pygments backend to colorise code directly, without the need for `minted`.
Changelog:
---
A lot has been going on, with more than 530 patches and 70 PRs merged since
0.7.0 last summer. In summary:
- Quite a lot of syntax improvements and changes. Checkout the latest
[cheat-sheet](https://catalalang.github.io/catala/syntax.pdf) for an overview
- Allow local `let ... equals ... in ...` definitions
- Better error messages and positions throughout
- Added the ability to directly call a scope and retrieve its outputs, like a
function
- Added disambiguation, allowing to access structure fields without specifying
the structure type each time
- Added automated resolution of operators, allowing e.g. to write just `+` in
place of all the type-specific operators `+.`, `+$`, `+@`, `+^`, etc.
- More consistent priority for operators. It is no longer allowed to write `a
and b or c` without parenthesis.
- Added and changed some operators (`date + duration` now allowed either way,
`int / int` now returns a decimal, added `duration / duration`)
- Added the ability to have variables and functions defined at
top-level (outside of any scope). See annex A of the tutorial for details.
- Added support for functions with multiple arguments
- Some big refactors in the compiler, allowing much better code sharing between
the different passes, and making it much easier to extend. Also added the
possibility to run the type-checker earlier, etc.
- Countless bug-fixes
- Improvements to our proof backend with Z3
- A tool to automatically synchronise with the upstream French law from
Legifrance
This adds a few positions to the parser, and tweaks some others, vastly
improving the reporting of some errors (inconsistent functions definitions, but
also exceptions cycles, etc.)
