# RETRO 2020.7
This is a small release.
## Renamings
I'm no longer using <> in word names. As such, the following are
renamed.
Old New
====================== =====================
file:open<for-writing> file:open-for-writing
file:open<for-append> file:open-for-append
file:open<for-reading> file:open-for-reading
times<with-index> indexed-times
var<n> var-n
d:last<name> d:last.name
d:last<class> d:last.class
d:last<xt> d:last.xt
The old names are still included by default as part of a compatibility
layer. This will be removed in the 2020.10 release and nightly snapshots
starting in August.
## Nga
- add a Swift implementation
This will be the basis for the next iOS and macOS App Store versions.
In 2020.7 it's still very new and lacks most I/O devices, but this will
be addressed over the next few months.
## Documentation
- Added build instructions for Haiku R1/Beta 2
- Updated the man page for `retro-unu` to cover code and test blocks
- Updated the general `retro` man page to note that RETRO runs in
interactive mode by default
## Examples
- Several new examples were added
