Bugfixes:

 * Type Checking: Dynamic return types were removed when fetching data from external calls, now they are replaced by an "unusable" type.
 * Type Checking: Overrides by constructors were considered making a function non-abstract.

### 0.3.4 (2016-05-31)

No change outside documentation.

### 0.3.3 (2016-05-27)

 * Allow internal library functions to be called (by "inlining")
 * Fractional/rational constants (only usable with fixed point types, which are still in progress)
 * Inline assembly has access to internal functions (as jump labels)
 * Running `solc` without arguments on a terminal will print help.
 * Bugfix: Remove some non-determinism in code generation.
 * Bugfix: Corrected usage of not / bnot / iszero in inline assembly
 * Bugfix: Correctly clean bytesNN types before comparison

### 0.3.2 (2016-04-18)

 * Bugfix: Inline assembly parser: `byte` opcode was unusable
 * Bugfix: Error reporting: tokens for variably-sized types were not converted to string properly
 * Bugfix: Dynamic arrays of structs were not deleted correctly.
 * Bugfix: Static arrays in constructor parameter list were not decoded correctly.

### 0.3.1 (2016-03-31)

 * Inline assembly
 * Bugfix: Code generation: array access with narrow types did not clean higher order bits
 * Bugfix: Error reporting: error reporting with unknown source location caused a crash

### 0.3.0 (2016-03-11)

BREAKING CHANGES:

 * Added new keywords `assembly`, `foreign`, `fixed`, `ufixed`, `fixedNxM`, `ufixedNxM` (for various values of M and N), `timestamp`
 * Number constant division does not round to integer, but to a fixed point type (e.g. `1 / 2 != 1`, but `1 / 2 == 0.5`).
 * Library calls now default to use DELEGATECALL (e.g. called library functions see the same value as the calling function for `msg.value` and `msg.sender`).
 * `<address>.delegatecall` as a low-level calling interface

Bugfixes:
 * Fixed a bug in the optimizer that resulted in comparisons being wrong.


### 0.2.2 (2016-02-17)

 * Index access for types `bytes1`, ..., `bytes32` (only read access for now).
 * Bugfix: Type checker crash for wrong number of base constructor parameters.

### 0.2.1 (2016-01-30)

 * Inline arrays, i.e. `var y = [1,x,f()];` if there is a common type for `1`, `x` and `f()`. Note that the result is always a fixed-length memory array and conversion to dynamic-length memory arrays is not yet possible.
 * Import similar to ECMAScript6 import (`import "abc.sol" as d` and `import {x, y} from "abc.sol"`).
 * Commandline compiler solc automatically resolves missing imports and allows for "include directories".
 * Conditional: `x ? y : z`
 * Bugfix: Fixed several bugs where the optimizer generated invalid code.
 * Bugfix: Enums and structs were not accessible to other contracts.
 * Bugfix: Fixed segfault connected to function paramater types, appeared during gas estimation.
 * Bugfix: Type checker crash for wrong number of base constructor parameters.
 * Bugfix: Allow function overloads with different array types.
 * Bugfix: Allow assignments of type `(x) = 7`.
 * Bugfix: Type `uint176` was not available.
 * Bugfix: Fixed crash during type checking concerning constructor calls.
 * Bugfix: Fixed crash during code generation concerning invalid accessors for struct types.
 * Bugfix: Fixed crash during code generating concerning computing a hash of a struct type.

### 0.2.0 (2015-12-02)

 * **Breaking Change**: `new ContractName.value(10)()` has to be written as `(new ContractName).value(10)()`
 * Added `selfdestruct` as an alias for `suicide`.
 * Allocation of memory arrays using `new`.
 * Binding library functions to types via `using x for y`
 * `addmod` and `mulmod` (modular addition and modular multiplication with arbitrary intermediate precision)
 * Bugfix: Constructor arguments of fixed array type were not read correctly.
 * Bugfix: Memory allocation of structs containing arrays or strings.
 * Bugfix: Data location for explicit memory parameters in libraries was set to storage.

 * Tuple expressions (`(1,2,3)` or `return (1,2,3);`)

 * Destructuring assignment (`(x,y,) = (1,2,3)`)
 * Bugfix: Internal error about usage of library function with invalid types.
 * Bugfix: Correctly parse `Library.structType a` at statement level.
 * Bugfix: Correctly report source locations of parenthesized expressions (as part of "tuple" story).
