Introducing experimental support for XML, new integrations, and several other quality-of-life improvements. Four deprecated builtins have been removed too, which is this release sees an increment of its major version number
Please read out compatibility commitment to understand how features are deprecated.
? pipe will be deprecated to make way for a the
ternary operator. You can achieve the same result with
<err> <!out>, eg
command <err> <!out> parameters... | next-command ...The following builtins have been removed in this release, having been marked as deprecated for 2 years or longer.
die has been removed because it adds a feature for
no purpose. It was original borrowed from Perl but realistically you can
do the same with exit 1 so this removal is to bring the
language complexity down.= and let builtins are now removed.
These builtins were created back before expressions were a first class
citizen in Murex. Now these serve no purpose and just add clutter to the
language specification.tread is now longer needed due to read
supporting all tread’s use cases.You can still compile Murex to include these builtins via by
including the following compile-time tag:
deprecated_builtins. However we recommend you use the more
modern syntax instead.
