release notes

partitions-108.5.1 (after zora.3)

Changes:

• Support model language 109 (partitions)
• auto-webclient: reference sets of partition aggregate branches
• Views language: a query binds with binds: and takes node, number and text parameters; client side repetition and condition filters
• Binary client protocol on new webserver endpoints; the webserver runs on an event loop and uses session cookies
• Login and logout follow the flow of the session manager
• Builds for darwin-arm64 instead of darwin-x64; the generator and annotator also build for Windows
• The packages ship an agent guide (AGENTS.md)

Views language

The header of a query changed: from became binds: followed by the query binding context, and the query path follows path:. A binding context that started with @root starts with root, and a filter compares with the binding context through = query context instead of = view context.

// old
query 'usages query'
	from root path +'usages'.'on entries'

// new
query 'usages query'
	binds: path: root +'usages'.'on entries'

New in a query:

• node parameter, number parameter and text parameter, taken from the query binding context (query context <path>). A text filter compares with a parameter through text $'p'; a number criterium adds parameters: $'a' + $'b' + 5.
• repetition <path> .'start' every .'interval' until .'end' in $'block start' + $'block length', applied by the client to the result.
• condition $'p': the query has no entries when the node parameter is not resolved.

Upgrade

• The project needs model language 109; see the model release notes.
• webclient: rewrite the query headers in views.alan as shown above; no transformation ships.
• auto-webclient: annotations.alan and settings.alan keep their syntax.
