## [0.10.0] - 2026-05-21

The headline feature of 0.10.0 is **conditional compilation** of contracts.
You can now compile some or all of your contracts out entirely via
application config, with zero per-call overhead for disabled contracts. The
release also adds an ExUnit helper module, polishes error reporting, and
substantially rewrites the user-facing documentation.

### Added

- **Conditional compilation via `:bond` application config.** Three keys,
  read at compile time via `Application.compile_env/3`:
  - `:preconditions` (default `true`) — when `false`, no precondition
    evaluation is emitted in override clauses, and the auto-generated
    `#### Preconditions` doc section is omitted.
  - `:postconditions` (default `true`) — same for postconditions.
  - `:checks` (default `true`) — when `false`, every `check/1,2` macro
    call in modules that `use Bond` expands to `:ok` and the wrapped
    expression is **not evaluated**. (Don't put side effects inside
    `check`.)

  When both `:preconditions` and `:postconditions` are disabled for a
  function, Bond emits no override at all. The function runs exactly as
  written, with zero per-call overhead. The function's auto-generated
  contract docs are also suppressed in that case.

  See the new "Conditional compilation" section in the `Bond` moduledoc.

- **`Bond.Test` module** with `assert_precondition_violation/2`,
  `assert_postcondition_violation/2`, and `assert_check_violation/2`
  macros for testing contract violations in ExUnit. Field expectations
  (`:label`, `:expression`, etc.) can be exact values or `Regex` patterns.

- **New `guides/faq.md`** answering the questions that come up most: why
  contracts when I have ExUnit, will contracts slow down prod, how does
  Bond compare to Norm, what does Bond do that typespecs don't, the
  Assertion Evaluation rule, default-arg behaviour, multi-clause handling.

### Changed

- **Assertion failure messages pretty-print the captured `binding/0`** with
  `inspect/2 ... pretty: true, limit: 20, printable_limit: 200, width: 80`,
  so small bindings stay compact and large structs no longer dominate the
  failure output.

- **Stack traces of raised assertion exceptions are pruned** to omit
  `Bond.*` frames. Failures point at the user's call site rather than
  into `Bond.Runtime.Eval`.

- **`Bond` moduledoc / README restructured.** Leads with a five-line
  `Account.withdraw` example and a one-paragraph elevator pitch. The
  Wikipedia quote moves out. Assertion syntax recommends the keyword-list
  form as primary. New `Conditional compilation` section. The `Math.sqrt`
  example remains as the "showing everything" sample.

- **`guides/getting-started.md` expanded** into a step-by-step walkthrough:
  first `@pre`, postcondition with `result`, labelled assertions,
  predicates, `old` expressions, inline checks, disabling in prod, and
  ExUnit integration.

### Internal

- New private function in `Bond.Runtime.Eval` that prunes Bond frames from
  the captured stack trace before raising.
- `Bond.Compiler.AnnotatedFunction.apply_contract/1` is now
  `apply_contract/2` taking a `contract_config` map.
  The `__before_compile__/1` callback reads the config from a
  `@__bond_contract_config__` module attribute set by Bond's `__using__/1`.

### Requirements

- Unchanged. Elixir `~> 1.14`.

## [0.9.1] - 2026-05-21

A patch release covering documentation cleanup left over from the 0.9.0
refactor plus a handful of usability improvements.

### Added

- `.formatter.exs` is now published with the Hex package and declares
  `locals_without_parens` for `check/1`, `check/2`, and `old/1`. Downstream
  projects can pick these up with `import_deps: [:bond]` in their own
  `.formatter.exs`.
- Assertion-failure messages now include an `at: <file>:<line>` line so the
  source location is clickable in editors.

### Changed

- `binding/0` captured in assertion-failure info is sorted by name so
  failure messages are reproducible across runs.

### Fixed

- README/moduledoc no longer references the removed Bond.def/2 and
  Bond.defp/2 macros, eliminating `mix docs` cross-reference warnings.
- The `getting-started` guide installation hint now references the current
  version.
- CHANGELOG no longer auto-links the removed `define_function_with_contract/4`
  helper.

### Internal

- Removed the vestigial `:context` field from `Bond.Compiler.Assertion`.
- Tightened the `Bond.Compiler.AnnotatedFunction` moduledoc.

## [0.9.0] - 2026-05-21

This release is a large internal refactor with no breaking changes to the
public API. `@pre`, `@post`, and `check/1,2` all behave the same as in 0.8.x.

### Changed

- **Bond no longer overrides `Kernel.def/2` and `Kernel.defp/2`.** Contracts
  are now applied via Elixir compiler hooks (`@on_definition`,
  `@before_compile`, `@after_compile`). This makes Bond more robust against
  changes in Elixir's macro expansion semantics, eliminates a class of
  macro-hygiene issues, and plays nicer with other macros that produce
  function definitions.
- **Multi-clause functions are now wrapped by a single override clause that
  delegates to `super/1`** rather than having contract logic inlined into
  each clause. Elixir's normal pattern matching handles dispatch inside the
  `super` call.
- **Assertion failures are signalled by a throw / catch** instead of being
  raised inline. Each `@pre`/`@post` group compiles to an anonymous function
  that throws `{:assertion_failure, info}` on the first failure;
  `Bond.Runtime.Eval` catches it and raises the appropriate exception type.
- Functions with contracts now get auto-generated `Preconditions` and
  `Postconditions` sections in their documentation even if the user did not
  attach a `@doc` themselves. Previously contract documentation was only
  emitted when a `@doc` was present.
- Internal modules are reorganised into `Bond.Compiler.*` (compile-time) and
  `Bond.Runtime.*` (run-time) namespaces.

### Internal

- New modules: `Bond.Compiler.AnnotatedFunction` (multi-clause function
  model), `Bond.Compiler.FunctionDefinition`, `Bond.Compiler.CompileStateFSM`
  (rewritten), `Bond.Runtime.Eval`.
- Removed internal modules `Bond.Compiler.AnnotatedFunctionClause` and
  `Bond.Compiler.LegacyCompileStateFSM`, along with the
  `define_function_with_contract/4` helper they used.
- `Bond.Compiler.Assertion` now carries a stable random `:id` for use in
  error reporting and future internal tooling.

### Requirements

- Unchanged. Elixir `~> 1.14`.
