CHANGELOG.md

@@ -21,6 +21,7 @@
 - Fixed comparing string variables with string literals, in Swift 4 string literals became `Substring` and thus couldn't be directly compared to strings.
 - Integer literals now resolve into Int values, not Float
 - Fixed accessing properties of optional properties via reflection
+- No longer render optional values in arrays as `Optional(..)`
