Changes from Hy 0.9.9
[ Stupid Fixes ]
* I forgot to include hy.core.language in the sdist. (PT)
Changes from Hy 0.9.8
[ Syntax Fixes ]
* Macros are now module-specific, and must be required when used. (KH)
* Added a few more string escapes to the compiler (Thomas Ballinger)
* Keywords are pseudo-callable again, to get the value out of a dict. (PT)
* Empty expression is now the same as an empty vector. (Guillermo Vaya)
[ Language Changes ]
* HyDicts (quoted dicts or internal HST repr) are now lists
that compiled down to dicts by the Compiler later on. (ND)
* Macros can be constants as well. (KH)
* Add eval-when-compile and eval-and-compile (KH)
* Add break and continue to Hy (Morten Linderud)

closely. (Morten Linderud)

* Paul was an idiot and marked the j-related bug as a JD fix, it was
actually ND. My bad.
Changes from Hy 0.9.6
[ Syntax Fixes ]
* UTF-8 encoded hy symbols are now hy_... rather than __hy_..., it's
silly to prefex them as such. (PT)
* `j' is no longer always intepreted as a complex number; we use it much
more as a symbol. (ND)
* (decorate-with) has been moved to (with-decorate) (JD)
* New (unless) macro (JD)

and jd for making this happen. This solves just an insane number
of bugs. (ND, PT, JD)

* New magic binary flags / mis fixes with the hy intepreter
(WKG + @eigenhombre)

the last Exception. (JD)

[ Language Changes ]
=============== WARNING: WARNING: READ ME: READ ME: ===================
From here on out, we will only support "future division" as part of hy.
This is actually quite a pain for us, but it's going to be quite an
amazing feautre.
This also normalizes behavior from Py 2 --> Py 3.
Thank you so much, Konrad Hinsen.
=======================================================================
* (pass) has been removed from the language; it's a wart that comes from
a need to create valid Python syntax without breaking the whitespace
bits. (JD)
* We've moved to a new import style, (import-from) and (import-as) will
be removed before 1.0. (GN)
* Prototypes for quoted forms (PT)
* Prototypes for eval (PT)
* Enhance tracebacks from language breakage coming from the compiler (JD)
* The REPL no longer bails out if the internals break (Konrad Hinsen)
* We now support float and complex numbers. (Konrad Hinsen)

(with [context-managed-fn] BODY)
[ Language Changes ]
