@felixmulder Do you want to write something about the new REPL?
@smarter Do you want to write something about Scala 2.12 support?

@allanrenucci - sure. Also, I've been thinking of some improvements:

  • If a state is thrown away, and a new state used in its stead. That should be enough to reset the REPL. So, some mutability in ReplDriver init as well as Rendering should be moved into the session CC (I'm sure @OlivierBlanvillain would agree)
  • Evaluation should be better encapsulated, it'd be so nice if we could get away without the classloading that sort of exists outside of our model

A difference between the two implementations that we've fixed:

scala> implicit val x: String = "wrong"
scala> implicit val y: String = "right"
scala> implicitly[String]
val res0: String = "right"

So, I guess that should be mentioned. Otherwise I'm not sure what more to add :)

Still on my TODO list to write something, but I guess it's not too urgent if we're delaying the release by a week :).

Since our first release, it has been possible to use Scala 2 libraries in a
Dotty project as explained in the
[dotty-example-project](https://github.com/smarter/dotty-example-project#getting-your-project-to-compile-with-dotty).
Previously, we supported libraries compiled Scala 2.11, but starting with this

@heathermiller Could you please have a look? I'll open a PR to scala-lang if we are happy with this version.

Maybe you should link to an already-configured Dotty snippet? Else the default is Scala 2.12.x...

Oh, oops, you already do that. I should've looked at the URL for this link. 🙈

I presume the PR to scala-lang will include this? ;-)

Waiting for a couple more PRs to get in before I tag the release. Will definitely be in the scala-lang PR =)

Looks almost perfect to me, @allanrenucci! I'd just suggest a few minor rewordings and of course the list of contributors, but else it looks ready to be PR'ed to scala-lang!
