  * [Kernel] Limit sigils delimiters to one of the following: `<>`, `{}`, `[]`, `()`, `||`, `//`, `"` and `'`

  * [Set] Implementations of `difference/2`, `disjoint?/2`, `equal?/2`, `intersection/2`, `subset?/2` and `union/2` in `HashSet` are no longer polymorphic. To get polymorphism, use the functions in `Set` instead

* Backwards incompatible changes
  * [GenFSM] GenServer now stops on unknown event/sync_event requests

  * [Mix] Umbrella apps now treat children apps as dependencies. This means all dependencies will be checked out in the umbrela `deps` directory. On upgrade, child apps need to point to the umbrella project by setting `deps_path: "../../deps_path", lockfile: "../../mix.lock"` in their project config

* Backwards incompatible changes
  * [ExUnit] `setup` and `teardown` callbacks now receives the test name as second argument
  * [Kernel] Raw function definition with `def/4`, `defp/4`, `defmacro/4`, `defmacrop/4` now evaluates all arguments. The previous behaviour was accidental and did not properly evaluate all arguments

## v0.6.0 (2012-08-01)

* Backwards incompatible changes
  * [Kernel] Compile files now follow `Elixir-ModuleName` convention to solve issues with Erlang embedded mode. This removes the `__MAIN__` pseudo-variable as modules are now located inside `Elixir` namespace

  * [Kernel] Comprehensions syntax changed to be more compatible with Erlang behaviour
  * [Kernel] loop and recur are removed in favor of recursion with named functions
  * [Module] Removed data functions in favor of unifying the attributes API

* Deprecations
  * [Access] The semantics of the access protocol were reduced from a broad query API to simple data structure key-based access
  * [ExUnit] Some assertions are deprecated in favor of simply using `assert()`
  * [File] `File.read_info` is deprecated in favor of `File.stat`
  * [IO] `IO.print` is deprecated in favor of `IO.write`
  * [Kernel] Deprecate `__LINE__` and `__FUNCTION__` in favor of `__ENV__.line` and `__ENV__.function`
  * [Kernel] Deprecate `in_guard` in favor of `__CALLER__.in_guard?`
  * [Kernel] `refer` is deprecated in favor of `alias`
  * [Module] `Module.add_compile_callback(module, target, callback)` is deprecated in favor of `Module.put_attribute(module, :before_compile, {target, callback})`
  * [Module] `Module.function_defined?` is deprecated in favor of `Module.defines?`
  * [Module] `Module.defined_functions` is deprecated in favor of `Module.definitions_in`

  * [IEx] IEx now supports remsh
  * [IEx] Elixir now defaults to compile with documentation and `d` can be used in IEx to print modules and functions documentation
  * [IEx] Functions `c` and `m` are available in IEx to compile and print available module information. Functions `h` and `v` are available to show history and print previous commands values
  * [IO/File] Many improvements to `File` and `IO` modules
  * [Kernel] Operator `!` is now allowed in guard clauses
  * [Kernel] Introduce operator `=~` for regular expression matches
  * [Kernel] Compiled docs now include the function signature
  * [Kernel] `defmodule` do not start a new variable scope, this improves meta-programming capabilities
  * [Kernel] quote special form now supports line and unquote as options
  * [Kernel] Document the macro `@` and allow attributes to be read inside functions
  * [Kernel] Add support to the `%R` sigil. The same as `%r`, but without interpolation or escaping. Both implementations were also optimized to generate the regex at compilation time
  * [Kernel] Add `__ENV__` which returns a `Macro.Env` record with information about the compilation environment
  * [Kernel] Add `__CALLER__` inside macros which returns a `Macro.Env` record with information about the calling site
  * [Macro] Add `Macro.expand`, useful for debugging what a macro expands to
  * [Mix] First Mix public release
  * [Module] Add support to `@before_compile` and `@after_compile` callbacks. The first receives the module name while the latter receives the module name and its object code
  * [OptionParser] Make OptionParser public, add support to flags and improved switch parsing
  * [Range] Add a Range module with support to `in` operator (`x in 1..3`) and iterators
