Changes from 0.13.0
[ Language Changes ]
* The unquote-splice or ~@ form now accepts any false value as empty.
* `yield-from` is no longer supported under Python 2
* `apply` has been replaced with Python-style unpacking operators `#*` and
`#**` (e.g., `(f #* args #** kwargs)`)
* Single-character "sharp macros" changed to "tag macros", which can have
longer names
* Periods are no longer allowed in keywords
* `eval` is now a function instead of a special form
* The compiler now automatically promotes values to Hy model objects
as necessary, so you can write ``(eval `(+ 1 ~n))`` instead of
``(eval `(+ 1 ~(HyInteger n)))``
* Literal `Inf`s and `NaN`s must now be capitalized like that
* `get` is available as a function
[ Bug Fixes ]
* Numeric literals are no longer parsed as symbols when followed by a dot
and a symbol
* Hy now respects the environment variable PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE
* String literals should no longer be interpreted as special forms or macros
* Tag macros (née sharp macros) whose names begin with `!` are no longer
mistaken for shebang lines
* Fixed a bug where REPL history wasn't saved if you quit the REPL with
`(quit)` or `(exit)`
* `exec` now works under Python 2
* No TypeError from multi-arity defn returning values evaluating to None
* try form now possible in defmacro/deftag
[ Misc. Improvements ]
* `read`, `read_str`, and `eval` are exposed and documented as top-level
functions in the `hy` module
Changes from 0.12.1
[ Language Changes ]
* Pythons 2.6, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 are no longer supported
* `let` has been removed. Python's scoping rules do not make a proper
implementation of it possible. Use `setv` instead.
* `lambda` has been removed, but `fn` now does exactly what `lambda` did
* `defreader` has been renamed to `defsharp`; what were previously called
"reader macros", which were never true reader macros, are now called
"sharp macros"
* `try` now enforces the usual Python order for its elements (`else` must
follow all `except`s, and `finally` must come last). This is only a
syntactic change; the elements were already run in Python order even when
defined out of order.
* `try` now requires an `except` or `finally` clause, as in Python
* Importing or executing a Hy file automatically byte-compiles it, or loads
a byte-compiled version if it exists and is up to date. This brings big
speed boosts, even for one-liners, because Hy no longer needs to recompile
its standard library for every startup.
* Added bytestring literals, which create `bytes` objects under Python 3
and `str` objects under Python 2
* Commas and underscores are allowed in numeric literals
* Many more operators (e.g., `**`, `//`, `not`, `in`) can be used
as first-class functions
* The semantics of binary operators when applied to fewer or more
than two arguments have been made more logical
* `(** a b c d)` is now equivalent to `(** a (** b (** c d)))`,
not `(** (** (** a b) c) d)`
* `setv` always returns `None`
* When a `try` form executes an `else` clause, the return value for the
`try` form is taken from `else` instead of the `try` body. For example,
`(try 1 (except [ValueError] 2) (else 3))` returns `3`.
* `xor`: If exactly one argument is true, return it
* `hy.core.reserved` is now `hy.extra.reserved`
* `cond` now supports single argument branches
[ Bug Fixes ]
* All shadowed operators have the same arities as real operators
* Shadowed comparison operators now use `and` instead of `&`
for chained comparisons
* `partition` no longer prematurely exhausts input iterators
* `read` and `read-str` no longer raise an error when the input
parses to a false value (e.g., the empty string)
* A `yield` inside of a `with` statement will properly suppress implicit
returns
* `setv` no longer unnecessarily tries to get attributes
* `loop` no longer replaces string literals equal to "recur"
* The REPL now prints the correct value of `do` and `try` forms
* Fixed a crash when tokenizing a single quote followed by whitespace
[ Misc. Improvements ]
* New contrib module `hy-repr`
* Added a command-line option `--repl-output-fn`
Changes from 0.12.0
[ Bug Fixes ]
* Allow installation without Git
Changes from 0.11.0

0.10.0 - the "oh man I'm late for PyCon" release
Thanks to theanalyst (Abhi) for getting the release notes
together. You're the best!
- Hy Society
[ Breaking Changes ]
We're calling this release 0.10 because we broke
API. Sorry about that. We've removed kwapply in
favor of using `apply`. Please be sure to upgrade
all code to work with `apply`.
(apply function-call args kwargs) ; is the signature
[Thanks]
Major shoutout to Clinton Dreisbach for implementing loop/recur.
As always, massive hugs to olasd for the constant reviews and for
implementing HyCons cells. Thanks to @kenanb for redesigning the
new Hy logo.
Many thanks to algernon for working on adderall, which helped
push Hy further this cycle. Adderall is an implementation of miniKanren
in Hy. If you're interested in using Adderall, check out hydiomatic,
which prettifies Hy source using Adderall rules.
This release saw an increase of about 11 contributors for a point
release, you guys rock!
-Hy Society
[ Language Changes ]

Changes from Hy 0.9.11
tl;dr:
0.9.12 comes with some massive changes,
We finally took the time to implement gensym, as well as a few
other bits that help macro writing. Check the changelog for
what exactly was added.
The biggest feature, Reader Macros, landed later
in the cycle, but were big enough to warrant a release on its
own. A huge thanks goes to Foxboron for implementing them
and a massive hug goes out to olasd for providing ongoing
reviews during the development.
Welcome to the new Hy contributors, Henrique Carvalho Alves,
Kevin Zita and Kenan Bölükbaşı. Thanks for your work so far,
folks!
Hope y'all enjoy the finest that 2013 has to offer,

[ 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 feature.
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)

be removed before 1.0. (GN)
* Prototypes for quoted forms (PT)
