Hey everyone,
CoffeeScript 2.0.0-beta3 is released! Install it via: npm install coffeescript@next
Since the last update, as of 2017-06-30 the following has been merged into the jashkenas/coffeescript 2 branch and released in 2.0.0-beta3:
- JSX is now supported (docs), thanks to @xixixao
- Object rest/spread properties are now supported (docs), thanks to @zdenko and @connec
- Bound (fat arrow) methods are once again supported in classes, though an error will be thrown if you attempt to call the method before it is bound; see breaking changes for classes. Thanks to @helixbass
- The REPL no longer warns about assigning to
_, thanks to @xixixao - Bugfixes for destructured nested default values and issues related to chaining or continuing expressions across multiple lines, thanks to @helixbass, @xixixao and @connec

There were a handful of PRs that aren’t quite ready just yet, but are close; I hope to follow up with beta4 shortly. Coming soon:
