Hi!

We're releasing haxe 4.3.0 in like 5~6 hours at the beginning of HaxeUp, I don't know if you want to do anything special about it. The release page on github is up (but kinda empty until the event) there https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/releases/tag/4.3.0

Edit: well actually the github release is pretty much done, only the website part is not.

The release message is also ready:

Dear Community,

On behalf of the Haxe Foundation, we are proud to announce the official release of Haxe 4.3.0!

Here are the most notable features made into this release:

• Support defaults for type parameters (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Support abstract keyword to reference the abstract (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Support static var at expression-level (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Support ?. safe navigation operator (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Added ?? null coalescing operator (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Support number separators (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Support numeric literal suffixes (see haxe-evolution proposal)
• Add -w compiler option to configure warnings

Thanks to everyone involved!

So many new features to dig through, I'm esp interested in the new macro features 🙏

I usually don't do anything special for a release or HaxeUp as I'm always unavailable when a HaxeUp is live, BUT today I'll be able to watch it live and was considering postponing the roundup to cover anything from the talks.
