- InternedString type is gone. It deprecates to string but does not cause immediate interning.
- Now it is fully transparent,
intern(::S)::S. - Works with all types of input. e.g. Strs.jl Strings
- No longer do operations (regex or otherwise) on interned strings return interned strings, as there is nolonger a type to catch, but it is kinda OK, as it doesn't actually change the number of allocations doing all the interning at the end, just the timing.
- Additional 2.5x speedup on top of v0.4.0
- Serious performance optimization of the pool lookup. 2-5x speed-up
- More operations esp regex on InternedStrings return InternedStrings.
- Basic operations like spit, on InternedStrings return InternedStrings.
- String Macro created
InternedString type created It works fully like a String
