3232*This is not as big as a change as it sounds -- all these partitions use the same mechanisms. It's just about policy limitations. Eg: only a guardian can receive inbound messages and subscriptions. In `:talk`, the separation matches the split between mailserver and mailreader in classic Unix email, news server and news reader in NNTP, etc.*

4444*The main change for the programmer is just that in the present `%arvo` and `%ames` (whose total rewrite is now being tested), message transaction handling is shitty from end to end. But you're used to that. Distributed programming with exactly-once transactional messages is such an awesome experience that even when it's broken, it's kind of ok.*

4848Before 0.5, Urbit ran as a single monolithic process controlling everything from terminal I/O to computing and storing events. In 0.5, Urbit is split into a more traditional database-server architecture. Thanks to a wrapper application, casual users don't have to notice much difference if they don't want to - except that the bottleneck in the old event code is gone, so things are a lot faster. But the new architecture has a lot more flexibility.

8080The parser and AST changes required for decorations also helped me find a way to disambiguate direct and indirect Hoon syntax, eliminating the duplicate irregular syntax introduced in Hoon 151 -- if we want. Backward compatibility was almost perfect, requiring only a few touchups across the whole codebase.
