  • v0.9.0 Changes

    October 17, 2019

    🚀 This release adds experimental support for Windows, updates to support Go 1.13, improves flashing experience of many boards (no more button pressing), and adds support for buffered channels. There are also lots of other smaller changes, see the list below.

      • flash using mass-storage device for boards that support it
      • implement tinygo env
      • add support for Windows (but not yet producing Windows binaries)
      • add Go version to tinygo env
      • update SVD files for up-to-date peripheral interfaces
    • compiler
      • add //go:align pragma
      • fix bug related to type aliases
      • add support for buffered channels
      • remove incorrect reflect optimization
      • implement copying slices in init interpretation
      • add support for constant indices with a named type
