    Optimizations

    • 👍 Better output quality (less casts), still left
    • Lightly improved compile time
    • 👌 Improved StringBuilder runtime in all targets
    • 👌 Improved slightly performance on all targets (simplifying Object construction)
    • D put strings at compile-time since Object construction no longer require runtime
    • C# implemented genStmSetArrayLiterals reducing output size and startup time
    • 🐎 Rework on Haxe arrays and casts specially in C++ for a major performance boost
    • 🐎 Implemented Haxe-C++ goto hack for even better performance on loops

    🗄 Deprecations

    • 🚚 Array casts are now deprecated and removed, because that requirement was slowing down some implementations. In the future we will explore other options. For now, please use Mem/FastMemory* classes.
    • 🗄 Deprecated {% FIELD %} and {% METHOD %} (replaces to NAME) in favour of {% IFIELD %} and {% IMETHOD %} (replaces to .NAME or ['NAME'] in JS just when required and works with minification)
    • 🗄 Deprecated @JTranscNativeClass that was redundant due to @JTranscNativeName.
