[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Compile JIT code with -O3.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Internal initialization functions now can be JIT translated.
* NEW: Support of subroutine calling completed. Interpreter subroutines are called if there is no optimization implemented in the JIT translation.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove old JIT stuff.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Use 'gambas.h' and 'gb.jit.h' to compile translated code.
* NEW: Work on JIT continues...
* NEW: Better panic errors.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove the old JIT stuff.
* NEW: Calls gb.jit at runtime if needed. If a fast function has no jit implementation, the bytecode version is used.
* NEW: Start defining the JIT interface needed by the JIT functions.
* NEW: The common static character buffer is now twice the size of the maximum symbol length, to avoid possible overflows.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Compilation starts to work.
* NEW: Debugging messages.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Work continues on new JIT system.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Make comparison operator true functions so that they can be called by the JIT code.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix conversion between dates and their local string representation.
* OPT: Little optimization in conversion functions calls.
[GB.UTIL]
* BUG: Fix Date.ToUnixTime() and Date.FromUnixTime() according to the interpreter fix.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a new message error for free object being referenced.
* NEW: Raise an error if a object being freed has been referenced by its '_free' special method.
* OPT: Add a boolean flag in the class structure not to try to call the '_free' special method if there is not.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: When formatting a date, the number of 'y' is now the minimum number of digits used for displaying the date year.
* NEW: When converting a string to a date with Val(), if the year begins with a zero character, then it is not converted to years between 1931 and 2030 if it is lower than 100.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: New API for reference a Gambas string.
[GB.DB]
* NEW: Result.GetAll() is a new method that returns an array of the values of a specific field from each record. It is about twice faster than the equivalent code written in Gambas.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Writing to a stream does not crash anymore if the stream is closed while the data is sent in several shots. Socket stream implementation should not close the stream while writing. I will try to fix that later.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Remove the task output serialization file when it is freed.
* BUG: Tasks do not print memory and objects clean up warnings anymore.
[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* OPT: Don't load the help browser form immediately to speed up IDE starting.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Use a dedicated stream for locks, so that the File object returned by LOCK cannot be used for reading or writing the locked file.
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: Ignore Application.Busy when displaying a message box.
[GB.GTK3]
* NEW: Ignore Application.Busy when displaying a message box.
[GB.QT4]
* NEW: Ignore Application.Busy when displaying a message box.
[GB.QT5]
* NEW: Ignore Application.Busy when displaying a message box.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Component.Library is a new property that returns if a component is actually a user library.
* NEW: Component.Version is a new property that returns the version number of a loaded component. If the component is a user library, you get the version number of that library. Otherwise you get the current Gambas version.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: gb.Match is a new constant that indicates a string comparison using the PCRE MATCH operator.
* BUG: The gb.Descent flag could be erased when sorting objects implementing the '_compare' special method.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Correctly attach newly created objects.
* BUG: Lof() should work correctly now on streams having a specific implementation of Lof() function.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Oct$() is a new functions that converts an integer to its octal representation.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Oct$() is a new functions that converts an integer to its octal representation.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: New syntax for octal numbers: "&Oxxx".
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: New syntax for octal numbers: "&Oxxx".
[GB.EVAL]
* NEW: New syntax for octal numbers: "&Oxxx".
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Translate comments in english.
* BUG: Take '\' escape character into account correctly in format strings.
* BUG: Remove undocumented feature in format strings.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Initialize pseudo-terminals with ECHO and don't clear OCRNL flag. This is not compatible with previous versions, as now, by default, printing a NL will become CR+NL through the pseudo-terminal.
But I didn't succeed in modifying the pseudo-terminal reliably once the child has started. It sometimes fails silently.
* NEW: Check the result of tcsetattr() carefully, as it returns an error only if none of the flags has been set, not just one.
[GB.TERM]
* NEW: Check the result of tcsetattr() carefully, as it returns an error only if none of the flags has been set, not just one.
[GB.FORM.TERMINAL]
* OPT: TerminalView: Reorder some tests in escape codes analyze.
* NEW: TerminalView: The mouse wheel now sends up and down keys when we are not in mouse mode, and if there is nothing to scroll.
