  • Added support for sending cycles and setting a timeout in parentheticals.
    This is an experimental feature, with new syntax, and now also allowing best-effort
    message sends. The legacy call Cycles.add<system> is still supported (#4608).

    For example, if one wants to attach cycles to a message send, one can prefix it with a parenthetical

    (with cycles = 5_000) Coins.mine(forMe);

    Similarly a timeout for best-effort execution (also called bounded-wait) can be specified like

    let worker = (with timeout = 15) async { /* worker loop */ };

    A common base for fields optionally goes before the with and can be customised with both fields
    after it. Please consult the documentation for more usage information.

  • bugfix: mo-doc will now generate documentation for actors and actor classes (#4905).

  • bugfix: Error messages now won't suggest privileged/internal names (#4916).
