```
* CoffeeScript now enforces all of JavaScript’s **Strict Mode** early syntax errors at compile time. This includes old-style octal literals, duplicate property names in object literals, duplicate parameters in a function definition, deleting naked variables, setting the value of `eval` or `arguments`, and more. See a full discussion at [#1547](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/issues/1547).
* The REPL now has a handy new multi-line mode for entering large blocks of code. It’s useful when copy-and-pasting examples into the REPL. Enter multi-line mode with `Ctrl-V`. You may also now pipe input directly into the REPL.
* CoffeeScript now prints a `Generated by CoffeeScript VERSION` header at the top of each compiled file.
* Conditional assignment of previously undefined variables `a or= b` is now considered a syntax error.
* A tweak to the semantics of `do`, which can now be used to more easily simulate a namespace: `do (x = 1, y = 2) -> …`
* Loop indices are now mutable within a loop iteration, and immutable between them.
* Both endpoints of a slice are now allowed to be omitted for consistency, effectively creating a shallow copy of the list.
* Additional tweaks and improvements to `coffee --watch` under Node’s “new” file watching API. Watch will now beep by default if you introduce a syntax error into a watched script. We also now ignore hidden directories by default when watching recursively.
