Silent Changes of the Semantics
===============================
* Exponentiation and shifts of literals by non-literals (e.g. ``1 << x`` or ``2 ** x``)
will always use either the type ``uint256`` (for non-negative literals) or
``int256`` (for negative literals) to perform the operation.
Previously, the operation was performed in the type of the shift amount / the
exponent which can be misleading.

Changes to the Syntax
=====================
* In external function and contract creation calls, Ether and gas is now specified using a new syntax:
``x.f{gas: 10000, value: 2 ether}(arg1, arg2)``.
The old syntax -- ``x.f.gas(10000).value(2 ether)(arg1, arg2)`` -- will cause an error.
* The global variable ``now`` is deprecated, ``block.timestamp`` should be used instead.
The single identifier ``now`` is too generic for a global variable and could give the impression
that it changes during transaction processing, whereas ``block.timestamp`` correctly
reflects the fact that it is just a property of the block.
* NatSpec comments on variables are only allowed for public state variables and not
for local or internal variables.

and cannot be used as an identifier.

* State Mutability: The state mutability of functions can now be restricted during inheritance:
Functions with default state mutability can be overridden by ``pure`` and ``view`` functions
while ``view`` functions can be overridden by ``pure`` functions.
At the same time, public state variables are considered ``view`` and even ``pure``
if they are constants.

Inline Assembly
---------------
* Disallow ``.`` in user-defined function and variable names in inline assembly.
It is still valid if you use Solidity in Yul-only mode.

Mappings outside Storage
------------------------

Previously, mapping members were silently skipped in memory, which
is confusing and error-prone.

Functions and Events
--------------------
* Visibility (``public`` / ``external``) is not needed for constructors anymore:
To prevent a contract from being created, it can be marked ``abstract``.
This makes the visibility concept for constructors obsolete.

* The ``finney`` and ``szabo`` denominations are removed.
They are rarely used and do not make the actual amount readily visible. Instead, explicit

Declarations
------------
* The keyword ``var`` cannot be used anymore.
Previously, this keyword would parse but result in a type error and
a suggestion about which type to use. Now, it results in a parser error.

Interface Changes
=================
* JSON AST: Members with value ``null`` are removed from JSON output.
* NatSpec: Constructors and functions have consistent userdoc output.
