ZuzuScript 0.4.x released

12 Jun 2026

New releases for Perl, Rust, JS, and Android

New releases of ZuzuScript are available, mostly aimed at fixing bugs. In addition to implementation-specific bug fixes for each runtime, they all update the languagetests component to version 20260612 (which includes improved tests for the method-call dot operator) and update stdlib to version 20260612.

Major new features include:

• std/string/encode module for dealing with text encodings. UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, and Latin-1 encodings are supported across all runtimes. The Perl runtime additionally supports all encodings supported by the Encode Perl module including EBCDIC, Shift-JIS, etc.
• Major updates to the std/net/url module to fully support RFC 6570 URI Templates.
• Major bug fixes to std/time on the Rust and JS runtimes adding missing functionality that previously only worked in the Perl runtime.
• Major bug fixes to std/math/bignum on the Rust and JS runtimes.
• Allow alternative ways to write numeric literals such as 1E3 (E-notation), 0xDEADBEEF (hexadecimal), 0b11001100 (binary), and 0o377 (octal).
• Bit shift numeric/binarystring operators » and «.
• Divides and does-not-divide numeric operators ∣ and ∤.
• The for loop is now able to iterate over strings character by character, or binarystrings byte by byte.
• Rust runtime: correct stringifications for true and false when printing them via say.
• Perl runtime: now comes with a README.md.
