[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]

[GB.QT4]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[GB.QT5]
* NEW: Support for the new WAIT NEXT instruction.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: OPEN NULL is a new syntax that opens a null stream. Reading always returns end of file, and writing does nothing except advancing the file pointer, allowing to know how many bytes were written.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: OPEN NULL is a new syntax that opens a null stream.
[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.
[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: Allow loop variables to be declared inside the loop syntax.
* NEW: Consequently, FOR EACH now can only use local variables.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: A little optimization of integer loops. They are about 5% faster now.
* 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: The process child errors raised before the exec() system call are
now catched in a separate function called by the compiler explicitly
after a SHELL or EXEC assignment.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: SHELL and EXEC assignments now call an hidden subroutine just after
the assignment to immediately check for a possible child error.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6681 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Support for the new USE instruction.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: A class header now can include USE "xxxx" declarations, where "xxxx"
is a component name. It means that the specified component will be loaded
when the class is initialized, the first time it is loaded.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6648 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* BUG: Undo one change of last revision: reading a stream from a memory
stream is a special case. It reads a null-terminated C string, and not a
serialized Gambas string.
* NEW: OPEN STRING is a new instruction that allows to use a string as a
stream. Writing to it appends the written data to the end of the string
at the moment.
* NEW: Closing a string stream returns the data written to the stream as a
new string.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: New OPEN STRING instruction.
* NEW: OPEN MEMORY and OPEN PIPE are synonymous of the MEMORY and PIPE
instructions alone.
[GB.EVAL]
* NEW: Highlight the new OPEN STRING instruction correctly.

* NEW: New GOSUB instruction. You return from a GOSUB with the RETURN
instruction alone. Consequently, you cannot exit from a 'SUB' with it if
there is a pending GOSUB. The GOSUB stack is only limited by the
available memory.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: New GOSUB instruction.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@4530 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec

using the format of the 'chmod' shell command.
* NEW: Rmdir raises a specific 'Directory is not empty' error now, when
trying to remove a non-empty directory.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Chmod <path> To <mode> was implemented. <mode> is a string having
the same format as the 'chmod' shell command.
* NEW: Chown <path> To <user> was implemented. <user> is the name of the
user as defined in the /etc/passwd file.
* NEW: Chgrp <path> To <group> was implemented. <user> is the name of the
group as defined in the /etc/group file.

[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Make the malloc cache returns 8-bytes aligned pointers on 64 bits
systems.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Some optimizations again.
* OPT: Do not use -O3 for symbol table routines. Valgrind says that it is
slower than with -Os. Strange...

[COMPILER]
* BUG: Raise an error now when trying to create an array of structures.
[GB.QT4]

* NEW: Static arrays came back. They are now like real array classes,
except that they are not resizable.

* NEW: VarPtr() now works on a string variable. It returns the address of
the string.
* NEW: TypeOf("") now returns gb.String. "" is equal to NULL yet, but now its
string datatype is kept.
* NEW: Memory is new instruction like Open that opens a memory stream from
a Pointer.
* NEW: A Pointer can not be used as a stream directly. You must use the new
Memory instruction for that.

argument to decide the type of the new array.
* BUG: The ["key":value] collection constructor now does not leak memory
anymore if it fails.
* NEW: A new error, "void key", whose code is 64.
* NEW: TypeOf(Null) now returns gb.Null and not gb.Object anymore.
* BUG: IIf() now returns a Variant only if needed. It uses the same
algorithm as the array constructor.
[COMPILER]

when running an external process.
* NEW: External process can have a custom environment.
* BUG: Some forgotten FreeBSD patch.
* NEW: The hidden "-f" option now takes as argument the name of the debug
fifo file without the extension. This is needed as now the IDE can put
a terminal emulator between the debugged process and itself.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: New syntax for the EXEC and SHELL instruction. Now the WITH keyword
can introduce an array of string, each of one being an environment
variable "NAME=VALUE".
