This work is the product of a Julia Summer of Code project. Please kick the tires, we're planning letting the new code sit on master for a bit before tagging a new release. Users of Julia 0.3 will be stuck on the old API, since the code makes extensive use the generated function feature of Julia 0.4.

ForwardDiff.jl <https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl> , a Julia package for performing automatic differentiation, has just been updated and is now much less buggy, much more performant, and much more comprehensively tested. An additional goal of the update was to provide a more friendly API, so hopefully the package is now easier to use for newcomers (documentation can be found in the master branch's README). To use the updated version of the package, check out it's most recent commit on the master branch. The update is not yet tagged for release, as we want to give people a chance to work with the new API some before tagging a new version. Feel free to provide feedback in the form of an issue or pull request to the repository! Note that this update only supports Julia v0.4. Best, Jarrett
