v4.2.0-rc4

Full Changelog: v4.2.0-rc3...v4.2.0-rc4

Fixes a bug that could lead to data loss from lake clean when switching between this version and previous stable versions. Users upgrading a project from 4.2.0-rc2 or 4.2.0-rc3 should manually remove their lakefile.olean after adjusting lean-toolchain.

v4.2.0-rc3

This version is known to contain a bug that could lead to data loss from lake clean, which has been fixed in 4.2.0-rc4. Users upgrading a project from this version to 4.2.0 rc4 should manually remove their lakefile.olean after adjusting lean-toolchain.

This is a fix for v4.2.0-rc2 as lean4#2648 appears to cause intermittent crashes in VSCode.

v4.1.0

Significant changes since v4.0.0

• The error positioning on missing tokens has been improved. In particular, this should make it easier to spot errors in incomplete tactic proofs.

• After elaborating a configuration file, Lake will now cache the configuration to a lakefile.olean. Subsequent runs of Lake will import this OLean instead of elaborating the configuration file. This provides a significant performance improvement (benchmarks indicate that using the OLean cuts Lake's startup time in half), but there are some important details to keep in mind:

  • Lake will regenerate this OLean after each modification to the lakefile.lean or lean-toolchain. You can also force a reconfigure by passing the new --reconfigure / -R option to lake.
  • Lake configuration options (i.e., -K) will be fixed at the moment of elaboration. Setting these options when lake is using the cached configuration will have no effect. To change options, run lake with -R / --reconfigure.
  • The lakefile.olean is a local configuration and should not be committed to Git. Therefore, existing Lake packages need to add it to their .gitignore.

• The signature of Lake.buildO has changed, args has been split into weakArgs and traceArgs. traceArgs are included in the input trace and weakArgs are not. See Lake's FFI example for a demonstration of how to adapt to this change.

• The signatures of Lean.importModules, Lean.Elab.headerToImports, and Lean.Elab.parseImports
  have changed from taking List Import to Array Import.

• There is now an occs field
  in the configuration object for the rewrite tactic,
  allowing control of which occurrences of a pattern should be rewritten.
  This was previously a separate argument for Lean.MVarId.rewrite,
  and this has been removed in favour of an additional field of Rewrite.Config.
  It was not previously accessible from user tactics.

v4.1.0-rc1

This is the first release candidate for v4.1.0-rc1. We are switching to using a tracking branch for this release, at release/v4.1.0. We hope to cherry-pick any critical fixes onto this branch, rather than moving up to master for any subsequent release candidates.

v4.0.0

This is the first official release of Lean 4.

We intend to begin regular releases of Lean 4, providing a new "minor" version approximately monthly.
We do not yet make promises about backwards compatibility, although all breaking changes will be documented in RELEASES.md.

• Our community forum on Zulip! This is the best place to get help, and find out what the Lean community is working on.
• The Lean language website for downloads and documentation.
• The homepage of the Lean Focused Research Organization for the team behind Lean.
• The Lean community website for help getting started, tutorials, and information about Mathlib.
• The Mathlib GitHub repository, for Lean's major mathematical library.

We have had over 2000 commits since the previous milestone.

v4.0.0-rc5

This is the fifth release candidate for the first official release of Lean 4.

It replaces v4.0.0-rc4, but has no changes except for the values of Lean.toolchain and Lean.versionString, which were not set correctly under the previous release process.

v4.0.0-rc4

This is the fourth release candidate for the first official release of Lean 4.

It replaces v4.0.0-rc3, which included a commit that broke Mathlib. Setting up better integrated testing is in the works!

What's Changed

• fix: revert #2435 by @semorrison in #2485

Full Changelog: v4.0.0-rc3...v4.0.0-rc4

v4.0.0-rc3

This is the third release candidate for the first official release of Lean 4.

It replaces v4.0.0-rc2, which was not properly prepared as a release, so #eval Lean.toolchain and lean --version gave incorrect answers. Additionally, there are changes to the CI for building releases and additions to RELEASES.md for previously undocumented breaking changes.
