Tya v0.65 Release Notes

v0.65 removes legacy primitive helper API surfaces and keeps primitive operations on their canonical receiver-method spelling.

Language

• Receiver-method syntax remains the public primitive API, such as " tya ".trim(), [1, 2].len(), { name: "Tya" }.has("name"), 42.to_s(), value.class, and value.class.name.
• Receiverless primitive helpers such as len(items), trim(text), keys(dict), push(items, value), and to_number(value) are rejected.
• Lowercase pseudo-module primitive helpers such as string.trim(text), array.len(items), dict.has(obj, key), and value.nil?(value) are rejected.
• Diagnostics for removed helper APIs include the canonical replacement.

Implementation

• The evaluator and C emitter no longer expose the removed public helper entry points.
• Primitive receiver methods retain direct evaluator/codegen/runtime fast paths where those paths implement the canonical receiver-method behavior.
• The self-hosted v01 and v02 compilers no longer predeclare the removed primitive helper names.

Documentation

• Current spec documents list only the retained low-level builtins and remove the obsolete primitive helper entries.
• Examples, self-host fixtures, and current test data use canonical receiver-method syntax.
