Upcoming release 1.16.0

News Official
1

The next Crystal release, 1.16 is scheduled for April 9.

As usual, this is precluded by a two-week feature freeze period, starting March 26. We’ll be using this time until the release to consolidate the changes and fix bugs.

A preview of the release notes is available: Crystal 1.16.0 is released! - The Crystal Programming Language (PR: #910)

Some of the highlights:

  • Execution contexts as a preview feature (RFC 0002)
  • Optional API doc generation for private and protected features as well as lib bindings (RFC 0011)

You can find all changes in the (provisional) changelog (PR: #15602).

There will be further additions to these resources as we merge additional changes.

The current HEAD of the master branch serves as a preview of the release. We appreciate any report of regressions caused by our latest nightly builds.

Instructions for installing nightly builds are available at Nightlies - The Crystal Programming Language

What is this means?

AFAIK, this PR is for remove the prefix of preview_mt, and, now, we introduce this fix as a new preview feature?

There’ll be a separate announcement about the new execution contexts preview.
It does not change anything about -Dpreview_mt.
