* BUG: The Val() and IsXXX() functions algorithm has been fixed. Now the
string is trimmed before being converted. Thousand separators are really
valid only to separate thousands. Extra non-space characters at the end
of the string make the conversion fail.

anymore if it fails.

[WIKI CGI SCRIPT]
* NEW: Some little cosmetic changes.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: The extern function implementation has been redesigned and is now
based on libffi, so that it works on 64 bits system. Because of a flaw in
the compiler design, projects that use the Pointer datatype must be
recompiled to be used on a 64 bits system. This flaw will be fixed in
Gambas 3.
