[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Allow errors to propagate from event handlers when the event is internally raised by the interpreter.
All events raised from a component written in Gambas through the Gambas API still do not propagate errors.

[GB.DEBUG]
* NEW: Program exit now can be hold by the debugger to workaround a missing feature of the Gnome terminal.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Serialization now does not duplicate objects anymore. Once an object
is serialized, if it is encounter again, then it is seralized as a five
bytes reference.

[GB.GTK3]
* NEW: Request SIGCHLD handler check.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Formatting a date with 'gb.Standard' now uses 'gb.MediumDate' concatenated to 'gb.MediumTime', as 'gb.GeneralDate' now is a different format.
* BUG: Str() now uses gb.Standard to format dates, so that Val() and IsDate() can understand them.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: GB.IsLocked() is a new API that tells if an object is locked.
* NEW: GB.IsRaiseLocked() is a new API that tells if raising an event is useless because no observer will receive it.
* BUG: Errors cannot be propagated outside of an event handler, because the event may result from a library signal that do not support exceptions (like the glib library).
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a debug API that returns the current error message, and remove the API that printed it.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: The debugger now correctly saves and prints the current error message.

* BUG: Ignore errors when loading a class for the JIT compiler.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Loading a class during JIT compilation can fail. Take that into account.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Active file descriptor watches and active timers are now automatically transferred to the component declaring a custom event loop. Consequently, a process started before the declaration of the event loop will have its termination signal correctly catched.
* NEW: Use waitpid() instead of wait4().
[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.GTK3]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.

[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a JIT API for loading classes without running the _init method.

[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Do many global optimizations as now the class metadata is fully available.
