+# KDL Changelog
+
+## 2.0.0 (2022-08-28)
+
+### Grammar
+
+* Solidus/Forward slash (`/`) is no longer an escaped character.
+* Single line comments (`//`) can now be immediately followed by a newline.
+* All literal whitespace following a `\` in a string is now discarded.
+* Vertical tabs (`U+000B`) are now considered to be whitespace.
+* Identifiers can't start with `r#`, so they're easy to distinguish from raw strings. (They already similarly can't start with a digit, or a sign+digit, so they're easy to distinguish from numbers.)
+
+### KQL
+
+* There's now a _required_ descendant selector (`>>`), instead of using plain
+  spaces for that purpose.
+* The "any sibling" selector is now `++` instead of `~`, for consistency with
+  the new descendant selector.
+* Map operators have been removed entirely.

-## Map Operator
-
-KQL implementations MAY support a "map operator", `=>`, that allows selection
-of specific parts of the selected notes, essentially "mapping" over a
-selector's result set.
-
-Only a single map operator may be used, and it must be the last element in a
-selector string.
-
-The map operator's right hand side is either an [`accessor`](#accessors) on
-its own, or a tuple of accessors, denoted by a comma-separated list wrapped in
-`()` (for example, `(a, b, c)`).
-
-## Accessors
-
-Accessors access/extract specific parts of a node. They are used with the [map
-operator](#map-operator), and have syntactic overlap with some
-[matchers](#matchers).
-
-* `name()`: Returns the name of the node itself.
-* `val(2)`: Returns the third value in a node.
-* `val()`: Equivalent to `val(0)`.
-* `prop(foo)`: Returns the value of the property `foo` in the node.
-* `foo`: Equivalent to `prop(foo)`.
-* `props()`: Returns all properties of the node as an object.
-* `values()`: Returns all values of the node as an array.

-
-### Relaxed
-
-- The way that `/-` comments are handled has changed. Now, `/-` comments are
-  consistently treated like whitespace. Notably, this means that `/-` children
-  blocks do not prevent the presence of later arguments, properties, or children
-  blocks on the attached node.
-
-### Constrained
-
-- Previously, whitespace was not required before a children block, i.e. `node{}`
-  was valid. Now, whitespace is required before a children block, the same as

-- `/-` comments on nodes must also be separated by plain (non-`/-`) whitespace.
