October 2025
50 Commits • 16 Features
Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10. This period focused on making Rascal more reliable for incremental builds and easier to extend. Delivered foundational change propagation improvements and expanded test coverage, while stabilizing error reporting and general code hygiene. Key outcomes include smarter module invalidation via ModuleStatus.changedModules in response to dependency changes, optimized change detection with fewer redundant calculations, and test scaffolding that supports new change scenarios and tpl existence checks. Addressed several user-facing and developer-facing bugs, improved import handling and naming consistency, and implemented experiments-safe toggles to enable controlled experimentation. Overall, these changes reduce rebuild times, improve correctness of change tracking, and increase developer velocity for future features and fixes.

92 Commits • 25 Features
Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for usethesource/rascal. Delivered improvements across editor integration, compatibility tooling, and code health. Key features included readiness for Language Server Protocol (LSP) integration, tooling to discover breaking changes between releases, and extensive code cleanup and refactoring to improve readability and test configurations. API/interface semantics were clarified with disambiguation of created to IO::created and updated muRascal2Java signatures. Overloaded constructors analysis and disambiguation were strengthened to improve correctness and reduce false positives. These efforts, together with targeted improvements in testing and error messaging, contributed to a more robust, maintainable, and developer-friendly codebase, enabling safer upgrades for users and faster iterations for contributors.
