Features
Section titled “Features”Support escape sequences in string literals
Section titled “Support escape sequences in string literals”String literals in TQL now support Unicode escape sequences like \xHH,
\uHHHH, \UHHHHHHHH, and \u{...}. Additionally, the named escape sequences
\r, \b, \f, \v, \a, and \e, are now supported in addition to the
previously supported \n, \t, and \0.
TQL now supports literals for blobs through the b"..." syntax (or
alternatively br#"..."#). Blobs are a sequence of bytes that unlike strings
do not need to hold valid UTF-8, and can as such represent any binary data.
