Dear community,

on behalf of the Haxe Foundation, I am proud to announce that Haxe 3.0 is now officially released! Nicolas Cannasse announced it during his speech at the Worldwide Haxe Conference in Paris earlier today. You can get it here: http://haxe.org/download

Compared to the second release candidate from about three weeks ago, we have improved stability and fixed remaining bugs. We have also further improved the haxelib client. Make sure to check out the changelog (http://haxe.org/file/CHANGES.txt).

If you are still on Haxe 2 and consider migrating to Haxe 3, please have a look at our migration guide (http://haxe.org/manual/haxe3/migration). If you are still on Haxe 2 and did not consider migrating to Haxe 3 yet, please have a look at our new features list (http://haxe.org/manual/haxe3/features).

Please note that the haxe library repository has been reset for Haxe 3. The old libraries are, of course, still available for Haxe 2, but the new haxelib client draws its libraries only from the new repository. This is to account for the vast amount of outdated and unmaintained libraries. Details on how to submit libraries to the new repository, as well as other useful information are available at the new haxelib documentation page (http://haxe.org/doc/haxelib/haxelib2).

Lastly, some of you may be pleased to hear that we are moving the haxe compiler sources to github. While this is not completed yet, you can already track our progress on the Haxe Foundation github account: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation

Thank you for your support and have fun with Haxe 3!

all : preliminary support of -D display-mode=usage|position|metadata

What is this? Is this a improved completition support?

Yes, the logic is mostly implemented but the parser does not pick it up yet. I mention a way to test usage-completion here: https://code.google.com/p/haxe/issues/detail?id=569#c16

Thank you! That is great!
But I don't really understand, what it does when those params specified...

In that example, IDE should show something like references, of some word or what....

The particular example should show all usages of the push method of the
Array class in the code being compiled. You can execute the command
as-is to test. In an IDE this would be the "Find References" feature.

Congrats!

Wow, the display mode stuff sounds like it's going to be a big boost to tooling.  Thanks for fitting it in!

Please note that the haxe library repository has been reset for Haxe 3. The old libraries are, of course, still available for Haxe 2, but the new haxelib client draws its libraries only from the new repository.

Details on how to submit libraries to the new repository, as well as other useful information are available at the new haxelib documentation page (http://haxe.org/doc/haxelib/haxelib2).

Just to make sure: if you have installed Haxe 2, then this change does not affect until you install Haxe 3 ? Before the change the old libraries will be fetched by the
old client from the old repository.

Such great news! I'm looking forward to more language features in the future, perhaps stronger pattern matching and lambda/function sugar.
