+title: Mist 0.4.0 is released, virtual methods, array types, and more
+author: Klesti Selimaj
+date: 2026-07-12
+---
+
+## New Features
+
+### Virtual Methods
+
+The `virtual` keyword enables polymorphic dispatch through vtables. Methods marked `virtual` can be overridden in subclasses and will be dispatched dynamically at runtime:
+
+```mist
+pub class Animal
+{
+    pub virtual void speak(&self)
+    {
+        println!("...");
+    }
+}
+
+class Dog : Animal
+{
+    void speak(&self) override
+    {
+        println!("Woof!");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Array Types
+
+Fixed-size array types are now supported with `[T; N]` syntax:
+
+```mist
+[i32; 10] numbers;    // Array of 10 i32s
+[str&; 3] names;      // Array of 3 string references
+```
+
+### Tuple Variable Declarations
+
+Tuple variables can now be declared with explicit type annotations using `as`:
+
+```mist
+(i32, bool) as x, y = (1, true);
+
+i32 a, b = (1, 2, 3);
+```
+
+### Include Directives
+
+C-style include directives for importing external files and crates:
+
+```mist
+#include <stdio.h>           // Global include
+pub use my_crate::module;    // Use include
+#include "local.mist"        // Local include
+```
+
+## Syntax Changes
+
+### Allman Style Struct/Enum Fields
+
+Struct and enum fields now use semicolons instead of commas:
+
+```mist
+// Before (v0.3.x)
+struct Point { i32 x, i32 y }
+
+// After (v0.4.0)
+struct Point { i32 x; i32 y; }
+```
+
