Release v0.1.dev5

New Features

• Add a logger to Basilisp library code (with a default NullHandler) (#243)
• Implement Bytecode caching for compiled Basilisp modules (#244)

Bump version to v0.1.dev4 to add Python 3.7 support on PyPI.

Release v0.1.dev3

New Features

• Add multi-methods to Basilisp (#222)

• Add a few new namespace functions to basilisp.core (#224)

Bug Fixes

• Removed usages of seq.grouped from PyFunctional which throw StopIteration exceptions and cause Basilisp to be unusable with Python 3.7 (#221)
• Fix a bug where the wrong namespace may be set in deftest defined tests (#232)
• Fix a bug where non-symbols could not appear in the member position of Python interop special forms (#230)
• Fix several instances of bugs where Basilisp tests were changing basilisp.core/*ns* without resetting it, which would cause cascading test failures (#228)

Release v0.1.dev2

New Features

• Add PyTest runner tests written using the basilisp.test/deftest macro (#195)
• Throw a useful error when no Var is bound to a symbol (#197)
• Add a string library as basilisp.string (#187)
• Add regex functions to basilisp.core (#193)
• Add namespace functions to basilisp.core (#176)
• The reader can return a custom EOF indicator (#218)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where comment literals were not be fully removed from reader outputs (#196)
• Fixed a bug where comment literals caused syntax errors inside collection literals (#196)
• Imported namespaces no longer create extra namespaces bound to munged Python module names (#216)
• Fixed a bug where import*s would not work within other forms
• Fixed a bug where the Basilisp import hook could be added to sys.meta_path multiple times (#213)
• Fixed a bug where keywords could not be used in function position (#174)
• Fixed a bug where macro symbols were not resolved using the same heuristics as other symbols (#183)
• Fixed a bug where lazy sequences were not resolved even if they were empty-checked (#182)
• Fixed a bug where new namespaces were created whenever the compiler checked if a namespace existed to resolve a symbol (#211)
• Fixed a bug where Python string escape sequences were not handled correctly by the reader (#192)
• Fixed a bug where character literals caused a syntax error inside collections (#192)

CI/Infra Changes

• Use Tox to orchestrate CI type checking, linting, and testing both locally and on CircleCI
• Use coverage now in place of pytest-cov

Continuous improvement :tada:

New Features

• Basic CLI for REPL and running scripts
• REPL convenience functions doc and pydoc will return Basilisp and Python documentation respectively
• Vars containing the last 3 expression results (*1, *2, *3) and last exception (*e) are now included on the REPL
• Added support for Decimal, Fraction, and complex types
• Support for Clojure style object instantiation syntax: (new com.lisp.Object) or (com.list.Object.)
• Read/eval functions in basilisp.core
• Support for customizing data readers either by binding *data-readers* or supplying a keyword argument from Python
• Support for character literals using \a syntax
• Support for deref-literals using @

Bug Fixes

• Dynamic vars are now properly compiled as dynamic, allowing thread-local bindings
• let* bindings can no longer eagerly evaluate binding expressions in conditional branches which will not be taken
• catch expressions no longer throw an error when they appear in a syntax-quote
• Basilisp files imported using the Basilisp import hook now properly resolve symbols in syntax quotes
• Basilisp's Map type now supports consing other maps.
• Syntax quoted special forms are no longer resolved into namespaced symbols

Initial development release

This is just an excuse to generate a release artifact and push that up to PyPI to claim the name.
