- When methods are replaced with exactly equivalent ones, the old method is no longer deleted implicitly simultaneously, although the new method does take priority and become more specific than the old method. Thus if the new method is deleted later, the old method will resume operating. This can be useful to mocking frameworks (such as in SparseArrays, Pluto, and Mocking, among others), as they do not need to explicitly restore the old method. While inference and compilation still must be repeated with this, it also may pave the way for inference to be able to intelligently re-use the old results, once the new method is deleted. ([#53415])
- The
-m/--moduleflag can be passed to run themainfunction inside a package with a set of arguments. Thismainfunction should be declared using@mainto indicate that it is an entry point.
logrange(start, stop; length)makes a range of constant ratio, instead of constant step ([#39071])- The new
isfull(c::Channel)function can be used to check ifput!(c, some_value)will block. ([#53159])
tempnamecan now take a suffix string to allow the file name to include a suffix and include that suffix in the uniquing checking ([#53474])
