+title: "What's new with Scala Native?"
+---
+
+It has been a little bit more than two months since Scala Native 0.1 has been
+released. What's new in Scala Native? What should you expect for future
+releases?
+
+## Scala Native 0.2
+
+In April, [Scala Native 0.2 was released][scala-native-0.2-release]. The main
+focus of this release was to increase the coverage of classes from
+the JDK, such that more programs can be ported to Scala Native without any
+further effort. What parts of Java do we now support in Scala Native? Lots!
+We've added support for IO and regular expressions, among others:
+
+### Improvements to the standard library
+
+* Support for file I/O APIs from `java.io` was added by [@Duhemm][@Duhemm]
+ from the Scala Center with help from [@cedricviaccoz][@cedricviaccoz] and
+ [@Korf74][@Korf74] in [#574][#574]. Scala Native now supports enough to read
+ and write files. Doing I/O with Scala Native feels just the same as in normal
+ Scala or Java:
+
+ ```scala
+ import java.io.{DataInputStream, File, FileInputStream}
+ val fis = new FileInputStream(new File("hello.txt"))
+ val dis = new DataInputStream(fis)
+ println(dis.readLine())
+ ```
+
+* In [#588][#588], [@MasseGuillaume] from the Scala Center added support for
+ regular expressions. This implementation relies on Google's RE2 engine and
+ [uses a syntax slightly different from the JDK][scala-native-doc-regular-expressions].
+ Using regular expressions with Scala Native works similarly as it does on the
+ JVM:
+
+ ```scala
+ import java.util.regex._
+ val m = Pattern.compile("a+(b+)(a+)").matcher("aaabbba")
+ assert(m.find())
+ println(m.group(1)) // prints "bbb"
+ println(m.group(2)) // prints "a"
+ ```
+
+* [@densh][@densh] added initial support for Scala's `Future`s in [#618][#618],
+ using an implementation similar to that of Scala.js, where `Future`s will be
+ completed after the `main` method is executed. Here's an example using Scala's
+ `Future`s with Scala Native. Of course, the same code works as well on the
+ JVM:
+
+ ```scala
+ import java.util.concurrent.Future
+ import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
+
+ object Test {
+ def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
+ println("Start")
+ Future {
+ println("Hello from the Future")
+ }.foreach(_ => ())
+ println("End")
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+* Scala Native now supports pointer subtraction. This work has been
+ contributed by [@jonas][@jonas] in [#624][#624]. Pointer subtraction is
+ useful, for instance, to determine how many elements there are between two
+ elements of the same array:
+
+ ```scala
+ val carr: Ptr[CChar] = toCString("abcdefg")
+ val cptr: Ptr[CChar] = string.strchr(carr, 'd')
+ println(cptr - carr) // prints '3'
+ ```
+
+* [@ekrich][@ekrich] extended Scala Native's implementation of `String` to
+ support `toUpperCase` and `toLowerCase` in [#573][#573].
+* The implementation of `java.lang.Character` was extended to support
+ `Character.Subset` and `Character.UnicodeBlock` by [@densh][@densh] in
+ [#651][#651].
+* [@asoltysik][@asoltysik] implemented support for system properties in
+ [#591][#591].
+
+ ```scala
+ println(System.getProperty("java.version")) // prints '1.8'
+ println(System.getProperty("file.separator")) // '\' on Windows,
+ // '/' elsewhere
+ ```
+* Scala Native can now read environment variables using `System.getEnv`,
+ thanks to [@jonas][@jonas]' efforts in [#606][#606].
+* `stdin` and `stdout` can reliably be read from and written to, thanks to
+ [@fduraffourg][@fduraffourg] and [@densh][@densh] in [#622][#622] and
+ [#659][#659].
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* A bugfix has been contributed by [@jonas][@jonas] to `String.replace`,
+ fixing one broken benchmark at the same time. His work can be found in
+ [#616][#616].
+* `System.nanoTime` was fixed by [@brad-rathke][@brad-rathke] in [#549][#549].
+* [@xuwei-k][@xuwei-k] fixed `nativeAvailableDependencies` which didn't work
+ in the `test` configuration in [#565][#565].
+
+### Improvements to the tooling and integration
+
+* [@MasseGuillaume][@MasseGuillaume] and [@densh][@densh]
+ worked on refactoring Scala Native's sbt plugin to make it more idiomatic in
+ [#568][#568] and [#630][#630].
+* Follow up fixes were contributed by [@jonas][@jonas] in [#639][#639] and
+ [#653][#653]. They improve how sbt determines the target architecture to
+ compile to.
+
+### Preparing for a better garbage collector
+
+In this release, [@LukasKellenberger][@LukasKellenberger] introduced in
+[#539][#539] a new setting in the sbt plugin that lets users select what
+implementation of the garbage collector should be used. Currently, it lets you
+select Boehm GC, or disable the garbage collector altogether.
+
+This work was done in preparation for [the improved GC that will be shipped
+with Scala Native 0.3][#726]!
+
+
+## A community effort
+
+As shown, many of the improvements that were brought by Scala Native 0.2 have
+been contributed by members of the vibrant community that is developing itself
+around Scala Native. In total, to get to Scala Native 0.2, there have been 61
+commits merged, 11,344 lines added and 1,954 lines deleted by 17 people:
+Denys Shabalin, Jonas Fonseca, Guillaume Massé, Martin Duhem,
+Lukas Kellenberger, Andrzej Sołtysik, Eric K Richardson, Remi Coudert,
+Florian Duraffour, Brad Rathke, Richard Whaling, Ruben Berenguel M,
+Sam Halliday, Shunsuke Otani, Cedric Viaccoz, Kenji Yoshida, Ignat Loskutov.
+
+The combination of these improvements was enough to get a prototype of
+`scalafmt` running on Scala Native by [@olafurpg][@olafurpg], showing a blazing
+fast startup time!
+
+
+
+
+## What to expect for Scala Native 0.3?
+
+The plans for the next release of Scala Native include a new garbage collector,
+a better integration with sbt and more additions to the standard library.
+
+### Improved garbage collector
+
+The first releases of Scala Native use Boehm GC. A new and improved garbage
+collector has been under development by [@LukasKellenberger][@LukasKellenberger]
+and will be presented at [Scala Days during Denys' talk][denys-talk]. Stay
+tuned for more more details to come soon!
+
+The pull request introducing the new garbage collector can be found in
+[#726][#726].
+
+### Running tests from sbt
+
+Currently, testing frameworks such as utest or scalacheck cannot be used with
+Scala Native. An effort to enable support for sbt-compatible testing
+frameworks has been undertaken by [@Duhemm][@Duhemm] from the Scala Center and
+is expected to land in Scala Native's third release.
+
+### Support for `java.nio`, `java.util.{jar, zip}`
+
+The existing I/O capabilities of Scala Native have been extended in this
+release by adding support for the classes defined in the packages `java.nio`,
+`java.util.jar` and `java.util.zip`.
+
+### Smaller binaries
+
+In [#686][#686], [@densh][@densh] started work to reduce the size of the
+binaries compiled by Scala Native, using a technique called selector-based
+row displacement.
+
+These improvements make the dispatch table up to 10 times smaller, on some
+codebases in the wild.
+
+## 0.4 and beyond
+
+Some features are already in the works for Scala Native 0.4.
+
+### Windows support
+
+[@muxanick][@muxanick] has been working on a port of Scala Native to Windows.
+The advancement of his work can be consulted in [#691][#691].
+
+### Automatic binding generation
+
+A prototype of [automatic binding generation][#642] is in development by
+[@jonas][@jonas]. The goal is to be able to generate automatically bindings
+for C libraries. For instance, given the following C header `test.h`:
+
+```C
+enum color {
+ RED = 1,
+ GREEN,
+ BLUE = 100
+};
+typedef int SomeInt;
+char *strchr(const char *s, int c);
+```
+
+We want to generate the following definitions:
+
+```scala
+@extern
+object Test {
+ object color {
+ val RED = 1
+ val GREEN = 2
+ val BLUE = 100
+ }
+ type SomeInt = CInt
+ def strchr(s: CString, c: CInt): CString = extern
+}
+```
+
+Ultimately, this tool will make it much easier to providing bindings for C's
+stdlib and external libraries.
