rip-lang 3.7.0 → 3.7.3

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -7,6 +7,16 @@ All notable changes to Rip will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [3.7.3] - 2026-02-11
+
+### Fixes & Polish
+
+- **Interface `::` fix** — `::` type annotations in interface bodies no longer produce double colons in `.d.ts` output.
+- **`.=` dot chain support** — `obj.name .= toUpperCase()` now works (walks back full property chain).
+- **`*` merge auto-init** — `*foo = {...}` auto-creates `foo` if undefined via `??= {}`.
+- **`loop n` uses `it`** — Loop counter is accessible as `it` inside the body.
+- **Syntax highlighting** — `|>` pipe operator added to VS Code, Vim, Playground, and rip-print.

 ## [3.7.0] - 2026-02-11
 
 ### Pipe Operator (`|>`)
