<a name="v.0.5.0"></a>
## v0.5.0 (2017-07-01)
Highlights for 0.5 include code formatting of gluon code and automatic marshalling between Rust
and Gluon through [serde][]. Formatting can be done either via the `gluon fmt` sub-command or with
directly in Visual Studio Code with the [language-server plugin][].
Type errors should now be formatted much better and have more precise types.

<a name="v0.3.0"></a>
## v0.3.0 (2017-02-01)
Version 0.3.0 improves the experience of writing gluon by a significant amount thanks to a few
different improvements. The main reason for this is the rewrite of gluon's parser to use [LALRPOP][]
which just started with the intent of making the parser easier to maintain but with [error recovery][]
added to LALRPOP the parser is now able to typecheck broken code which is used to drive code completion.
Another big addition to the usability of gluon is that an experimental debugger has been added to the
visual code plugin! This initial implementation provides breakpoints, pausing and variable inspection.
Lastly gluon has gotten support for asynchronous functions through tokio! It is now possible to write
Rust functions which return a `Future` and gluon will automatically suspend the running gluon program
and return a new future which drives the program until completion. As an example of this a [http server
built on hyper](https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon/pull/226) is currently in the PR queue just waiting for a tokio based release of hyper.

## v0.2.0 (2016-09-25)
Version 0.2.0 consists of a few critical bug fixes, numerous usability improvements such as prettier printing of types and auto completion in the REPL as well as two additions to the language itself.
Row-polymorphic records are added to the type system (albeit in a slightly limited capacity) as well as type holes. More additions building on these features will be added in a backwards compatible way in upcoming versions.
In addition to the user visible changes listed here the internals have seen a lot of legacy cruft removed, in major part thanks to @brendanzab.
