Claro v1.09.26 RC9 Notes

Historical note: this file is kept for release history. The current package is Claro v1.18.26; use CURRENT_STATUS.md, ROADMAP.md, and the current feature docs for up-to-date beginner guidance.

RC9 is the final-candidate release before the first stable v1 release.

The goal of RC9 is not to make Claro bigger. The goal is to make the current learner-friendly language easier to test, validate, and ship.

Added in RC9

claro validate

This runs a final-candidate validation pass over the package:

• package health check
• regression tests
• checker pass over lessons
• checker pass over main examples

Still beginner-first

Claro continues to prefer plain-text, readable code:

SET name TO "Jon"
ASK "What is your name?" name
SAY "Hello " + name

TEACH greet person
    SAY "Hi " + person
END

DO greet "Friend"

Compatibility

Older RC forms still work:

ASK "Name?" AS name
TEACH greet TAKES name
    SAY name
LEARNED
CALL greet WITH "Jon"

After RC9

The next recommended release is Claro v1.10.26, the first stable v1 release, after final manual testing on Windows and a clean public package check.
