I am not hearing this. This particular change was on master and 0.7-alpha for a very long time, and many people used those versions. You’re also making it sound like we somehow didn’t test it. We did test it, and it worked exactly as intended. Ok, so you think the 1.0 release was absurd. Fine. So that makes it ok to make another absurd major release?
The “mistake” actually consisted of a positive change from a software engineering perspective. The behavior now is much more reliable in large source files and projects. Then it turned out that some people really wanted to do lecture examples with certain 3-line loops in the REPL, and that became less convenient to the tune of adding a single word to the code. So stop trying to paint this like some huge screwup requiring reflection and contrition. My patience is running out.
