[xTrayambak]

Bali 0.4.3 is out with 25 commits in total and multiple new features, optimizations and fixes.
There are 6 new additions and 2 bug fixes. There should not be any breaking changes migrating to this release.

New Additions

• Implemented two new bytecode optimizations:

• Loop allocation elimination (to reduce expensive loops' memory footprint)
• Return-value register cleaner (to reduce memory usage when calling functions and discarding their return value)

• Implemented String.prototype.concat
• Implemented String.prototype.repeat
• Comments in array index and array construction are now correctly ignored instead of raising a SyntaxError
• Stabilized JavaScript Date API!

• Implemented Date.parse
• The Date constructor can now take in ISO 8601 compliant date strings as arguments
• The rest of the prototype will be implemented in upcoming versions

• Implemented RangeError

Bug Fixes

• Field-access on the null type is no longer allowed, it throws a TypeError as the spec mandates.

• Removed Herobrine
