Thanks again for the pointer to the release notes. The issue I raised was not dealt with in the release notes: namely, 1:5 == [1:5] evaluates as true in Julia 0.2 but as false in Julia 0.3.
I think the new behavior is a problem. I was happy with the old behavior, but if this is a bad idea for some reason, I would prefer that Julia raised an error in this situation rather than give a result that (in my opinion) is wrong. Certainly Julia compares objects of different type for equality (e.g. 0==0.0) so the fact that 1:5 and [1:5] are different types is not the issue. > > On Saturday, August 23, 2014 9:06:50 AM UTC-4, Valentin Churavy wrote: >> >> There is https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v0.3.0/NEWS.md >> >> On Saturday, 23 August 2014 15:02:56 UTC+2, Ed Scheinerman wrote: >>> >>> Is there a document describing new features and significant changes >>> between versions 0.2 and 0.3? >>> >>> One item I noticed is that in 0.2 the express 1:5 == [1:5] evaluated as >>> true, but in 0.3 it's false. >>> >>
