gluon v0.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-07-01 // almost 7 years ago

  • 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.
