v0.4.0

Added

• Linux compatibility!
  • it is now possible to compile the Acton compiler (actonc), the backend and
    the RTS on Linux
  • actonc can now compile Acton programs on Linux
  • Linux on x86_64 is tested, no other architectures
  • libkqueue is used on Linux as a compatibility shim between kqueue calls and
    epoll
    • Acton was initially developed on OS X and the RTS therefore uses kqueue
      and not epoll / aio(uring)
• More test cases, in particular the ones for which we have GitHub issues opened
• CI runs on Linux too
  • acton is built and tested on both Linux and OS X
  • all tests are the same across both platforms
• actonc has got a --version argument

Changed

• Now uses Haskell lts-17.14 instead of lts-13.0

Removed

• The project repository has been cleaned up overall

Fixed

• actonc now detects and reports internal compiler errors
  • happens when gcc fails to compile the C code that actonc generates
• A bunch of compiler surprises have been made less surprising
  • see git log for details ;)
