The release of the statically typed programming language v 0.4.10 (vlang) has been published. The main goals in creating V were simplicity of study and use, high readability, fast compilation, increased safety, effective development, cross-platform use, improved interaction with the language C, better error processing, disconnected garbage collector (GC), modern capabilities, and more convenient support for programs. The project also develops its graphic library and a package manager. The code of the compiler, libraries, and related tools is open under the MIT license.

- The built-in method String.split_by_space() has been added.
- Auxiliary methods File.write_u8/1 and File.Read_u8/0 have been added to the OS module.
- In the module OS, the Disk_usage function showing an accessible place for the file path has been added.
- In the module Time, the
