[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Timers are not inherited anymore by background tasks. They are actually inherited, but immediately disabled the first time they trigger inside the background task.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: '#Include" is a new preprocessor reserved identifier.
* BUG: Always raise a syntax error if a preprocessor line starts with an unknown reserved identifier.
[GB.EVAL]
* BUG: Fix preprocessor lines highlighting.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: By default, the compiler now use a number of background tasks equal to the number of cores.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: System.Cores is a new property that returns the number of cores.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Signal handlers are now checked only if requested explicitly by a component.
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: Request SIGCHLD handler check.
[GB.GTK3]
* NEW: Request SIGCHLD handler check.
[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).
[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: Add man pages.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Use 'time_t' in GB.MakeDateFromTime API.
[WIKI CGI SCRIPT]
* NEW: Add a command-line option to print the package table.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Support for the new PEEK instruction.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: PEEK is a new instruction that peek some bytes from a stream without removing them, so that they are available to the next READ instruction.
* OPT: IsAscii(), IsLower(), IsPunct()... instructions are now a bit faster.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: WAIT NEXT is a new instruction that waits for the next event and process it.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[GB.GTK3]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[GB.QT4]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[GB.QT5]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Fix compilation of function calls with variable arguments passing.
* BUG: Remove some useless structure packing directives.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix compilation of function calls with variable arguments passing.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Add ByRef annotations to the ".info" files generated by the compiler. The name of "ByRef" method arguments is now prefixed with a '&' character.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Some optimizations in symbol table routines.
* NEW: Emit column position in almost all error messages. It makes the compiler 2.5% slower, even with the optimizations.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: JIT compiler does not run static initializers anymore when loading a class. Otherwise bytecode can be modified before being compiled, leading to a JIT compiler crash.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Fix LOCK subroutine meta-information.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Don't display abortion debugging message if there is no compilation to abort.
* BUG: Object variables are correctly managed now.
* BUG: DO...LOOP and REPEAT...UNTIL at the beginning of the function now is correctly compiled in all cases.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a API to know if a native component exists on the disk.
[GB.GUI]
* BUG: Take the other requested GUI components into account to choose the toolkit.
[GB.GUI.QT]
* BUG: Take the other requested GUI components into account to choose the toolkit.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Assert is an new instruction that raises an error as soon as its boolean argument is FALSE. The associated bytecode is not emitted if the '-x' option is specified.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Assert is an new instruction that raises an error as soon as its boolean argument is FALSE.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Fix a potential array overflow.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Rename a macro constant to avoid a symbol clash when compiling the interpreter.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Get rid of a macro trick in 'gbx_eval.h' header.
[GB.EVAL]
* NEW: Highlight: Add three new color constants for syntax highlighting: Escape, Label and Constant.
* NEW: Rename some source files.
* NEW: Rename some constants.
* NEW: Gambas syntax highlighter now use the three new contants for escape characters in strings, for labels, and for language contants (True, False, Null, +Inf and -Inf).
[GB.EVAL.HIGHLIGHT]
* NEW: Support for the new syntax highlighting color constants.
[GB.FORM.EDITOR]
* NEW: Support for the new syntax highlighting color constants.
* NEW: UNSAFE is a new keyword used in conjunction with FAST. It tells the JIT compiler not to do any safety check (null objects, division by zero, out of array bounds...). It makes the code a bit faster, but prone to segmentation fault.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.
* NEW: Check validity of objects that can be invalid.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for error management in JIT methods.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Fix Error() function metadata.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for error management.
* NEW: TRY instruction.
* BUG: Correct support of NULL.
