@@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ Features:
* Interfaces: Allow overriding external functions in interfaces with public in an implementing contract.
* Optimizer: Optimize across ``mload`` if ``msize()`` is not used.
* Syntax Checker: Issue warning for empty structs (or error as experimental 0.5.0 feature).
+ * General: Introduce new constructor syntax using the ``constructor`` keyword as experimental 0.5.0 feature.
Bugfixes:
* Code Generator: Allow ``block.blockhash`` without being called.
