# 2.11.0
## Language changes
* The `newtype` construct, which has existed in the interpreter in an
incomplete and undocumented form for quite a while, is now fullly
supported. The construct is documented in section 1.22 of [Programming
Cryptol](https://cryptol.net/files/ProgrammingCryptol.pdf). Note,
however, that the `cryptol-remote-api` RPC server currently does not
include full support for referring to `newtype` names, though it can
work with implementations that use `newtype` internally.
## New features

runtime overhead, but may be disabled using the `--no-call-stacks`
command-line option.
* The `:exhaust` command now works for floating-point types and the
`:check` command now uses more representative sampling of
floating-point input values to test.
* The `cryptol-remote-api` RPC server now has methods corresponding to
the `:prove` and `:sat` commands in the REPL.
* The `cryptol-eval-server` executable is a new, stateless server
providing a subset of the functionality of `cryptol-remote-api`
dedicated entirely to invoking Cryptol functions on concrete inputs.
## Internal changes
* A single running instance of the SMT solver used for type checking
(Z3) is now used to check a larger number of type correctness queries.
This means that fewer solver instances are invoked, and type checking
should generally be faster.
* The Cryptol interpreter now builds against `libBF` version 0.6, which
fixes a few bugs in the evaluation of floating-point operations.
