v0.6.0

What's Changed

• Add new chapter about threads in Zig by @pedropark99 in #38. The idea behind this new chapter is not only to demonstrate how to use threads in Zig, but also, to introduce threads for those who have never seem or used threads before.
• Add contribution guidelines to the project.
• Add a license file to the project. The license of the project was already well defined on the README and also inside the book itself. But the project was lacking a LICENSE file.

v0.5.0

What's Changed

This is a big release for the book. Because it adds two new chapters, which are:

• a chapter about the interaction between Zig and C, i.e. how to use and call C code from Zig.
• a chapter about a small project involving a image filter.

This is a big release because these two chapters complement each other, and also, they together give a good explanation on how to use C code in Zig, filling some important gap in knowledge about Zig. By @pedropark99 in #32.

v0.4.2

What's Changed

• Add a section to explain why function arguments in Zig are immutable by @pedropark99 in #24
• Also relate the knowledge discussed in this new section to the content discussed at the section about struct state.

Full Changelog: v0.4.1...v0.4.2

v0.4.1

When we declare methods inside a struct object in our Zig source code, in some specific cases we have to use a "pointer to struct" in the self argument of our struct object, instead of using "copy to struct" in this self argument. In other words, in some specific cases, we have to pass the struct object by reference, and not by value, to the method. This affects only the self argument in methods of struct objects.

So, if you have a struct named User, and you declare a method inside this struct, a method of this struct might need to use self: *User in it's arguments, instead of the usual self: User.

In this release, we added a section to the book to explain this type of situations, and why we would use self: *x instead of self: x on struct methods.

What's Changed

• Remove format specifier that doesn't exist in Zig at the debugging chapter.
• Add section to explain the difference between self: x and self: *x by @pedropark99 in #22

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.4.1

v0.4.0

This is a big release that introduces two new chapters to the book that are related to Data Structures, Comptime and Generics in Zig.

What's Changed

• Add chapter that explains which Data Structures are avaialable in the Zig Standard Library, and demonstrate how to use them, by @pedropark99 in #20
• Add chapter that explains of the key features of Zig, which is comptime, and explains how this feature is used to implement generics in Zig.
• One of the new chapters is also a chapter that uses a small project to demonstrate these concepts in practice.
