```

The CoffeeScript **0.9** series is considered to be a release candidate for **1.0**; let’s give her a shakedown cruise. **0.9.0** introduces a massive backwards-incompatible change: Assignment now uses `=`, and object literals use `:`, as in JavaScript. This allows us to have implicit object literals, and YAML-style object definitions. Half assignments are removed, in favor of `+=`, `or=`, and friends. Interpolation now uses a hash mark `#` instead of the dollar sign `$` — because dollar signs may be part of a valid JS identifier. Downwards range comprehensions are now safe again, and are optimized to straight for loops when created with integer endpoints. A fast, unguarded form of object comprehension was added: `for all key, value of object`. Mentioning the `super` keyword with no arguments now forwards all arguments passed to the function, as in Ruby. If you extend class `B` from parent class `A`, if `A` has an `extended` method defined, it will be called, passing in `B` — this enables static inheritance, among other things. Cleaner output for functions bound with the fat arrow. `@variables` can now be used in parameter lists, with the parameter being automatically set as a property on the object — useful in constructors and setter functions. Constructor functions can now take splats.
