@@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ Features:
* Code generator: Support ``revert()`` to abort with rolling back, but not consuming all gas.
* Inline assembly: Support ``revert`` (EIP140) as an opcode.
* Type system: Support explicit conversion of external function to address.
+ * Type system: Warn if base of exponentiation is literal (result type might be unexpected).
Bugfixes:
* Commandline interface: Always escape filenames (replace ``/``, ``:`` and ``.`` with ``_``).
