[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Move some code outside of 'gbx_exec_loop.c' source file. Apparently if the result of the compilation of this source file is too big, the interpreter can be about 150% slower.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Bool@(), Byte@()... functions can be the target of an affectation now.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Bool@(), Byte@()... functions can be the target of an affectation now.

[COMPILER]
* OPT: Support for local variable manipulation optimization.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Avoid unneeded type conversion swhen manipulating local variables.
* OPT: Various optimizations of the interpreter execution loop. Apparently a smaller execution loop has a big impact on speed. I guess this is related to the size of the various CPU caches.
[GB.DB]
* NEW: Connection: The URL argument of the Connection constructor is now handled by the Gambas part.
* NEW: Connection: It's now possible to specify the password in the connection URL.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Remove Md5() and other hash native functions.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove Md5() and other hash native functions.
[GB.HASH]
* NEW: 'Hash' is a new static class with methods that implement The 'Md5', 'Sha1', 'Sha256' and 'Sha512' hash functions.
[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: Update 'README' and 'README.md' files.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Add Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
[GB.HASH]
* NEW: This is a new component that implements the Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
The code comes from BusyBox.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Enhance 'GB.SubstStringAdd()' and add 'GB.SubstStringUnquote()' API to support custom quoting in 'gb.db'.
[GB.DB]
* NEW: Connection: Request substitution methods now support "[&1]" and "`&1`" quoting syntax to quote a table name or a column name.
[COMPILER]

[GB.DRAW]
* NEW: Paint: 'LineDash' is now a synonymous for the 'Dash' property.
* NEW: Paint: 'LineDashOffset' is now a synonymous for the 'DashOffset' property.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove a now useless flag in the internal class structure.
* NEW: The exported name of a class does not overwrite the name field of the class structure anymore, fixing the stack backtrace.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add all comparison constants to 'gambas.h' API header file.
[GB.OPENSSL]
* BUG: Use the API instead of directly including interpreter header files. It breaks compilation on Ubuntu 22.10.1.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: QUIT now ends the process brutally. C++ static exit routines from unloaded shared libraries are not called anymore, avoiding the crash.
[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.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Program exit now can be hold by the debugger to workaround a missing feature of the Gnome terminal.
[GB.DEBUG]
* NEW: Program exit now can be hold by the debugger to workaround a missing feature of the Gnome terminal.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix Task.Wait() so that it restores SIGCHLD handler for GTK+ libraries, like Process.Wait().
* NEW: Task.Wait() now can take an optional timeout argument.
[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.
* BUG: Fix Task.Wait() that incorrectly used 'sleep' instead of 'usleep'.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Update help text layout.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Add a '-F' option that converts a piece of form data into Gambas code.
* NEW: Update help text layout.
[ARCHIVER]
* NEW: Update help text layout.

[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a debugger API to allows debugging inside components.
[GB.DEBUG]
* NEW: New debugger command to toggle debugging inside components.
* NEW: Support for profiling inside components.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: '_lang' is a new static public special method that is called when
'System.Language' changes. It allows you to reload the translations of
the class.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: If some data have been peeked on a stream, then the next reads will
only return the peeked data until they all have been exhausted, and the
Lof() function will return the number of peeked bytes yet to read.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: 'Args.Copy()' is a new method that is a synonymous of 'Args.All'.
* NEW: 'Env.Copy()' is a new method that returns a copy of the environment as a string array.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix array and allocation management, so that allocating a byte array with a number of elements near the greatest integer does not crash anymore.
[GB.GEOM]
* BUG: Raise an error if the rectangle constructor does not take zero or four arguments.
* BUG: Raise an error if the point constructor does not take zero or two arguments.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Remove the String.Capitalize() synonymous. That function should instead capitalize each word of a string, not just the first character.
[GB.FORM.HTMLVIEW]
* NEW: HtmlView: The control can get focus now, and react to arrow keys.
* NEW: HtmlView: Fix litehtml instead of patching it for string and conversion functions that must ignore the current locale.
[GB.FORM.HTMLVIEW]
* NEW: Integrate 'gumbo' library inside the component, so that the component has no depency anymore and compile on all systems.
Consequently, the component source code moved to the '/main/lib' directory.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: 'EXEC / SHELL ... TO ... WITH ERROR' is a new syntax that redirects
both the standard output and the standard error of a process to a string.
The support for that feature was already present inside the interpreter!
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for "remote" debugging, i.e. debugging a process not run by the IDE.
It is activated by the existence of a symbolic link named '/tmp/gambas-<project name>.debug'
pointing at the IDE temporary directory. The symbolic link is destroyed by the debuggee, so that
no other process of the same project can use it.
* BUG: Remove support of two deprecated parameters in '.startup' file.
* NEW: The internal common string buffer size is now equal to 'PATH_MAX'.
[GB.DEBUG]
* NEW: Support for "remote" debugging.
* OPT: The debugger process now opens the output fifo in blocking mode when needed, and the
debugged process opens the output fifo for reading when needed too.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Fix generation of floating point constants whose value is an integer.
* BUG: Fix a possible memory corruption after the end of the compilation of the first class.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: The parser now does not store integer numbers in its global symbol table anymore.
* OPT: Some other little optimizations here and here. The compiler is now about 5% faster.
[ARCHIVER]
* NEW: Compile with '-O3' optimization flag.
[INFORMER]
* NEW: Compile with '-O3' optimization flag.
[GB.EVAL]
* OPT: The parser now does not store integer numbers in its global symbol table anymore.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Shr, Shl, Asr, Asl, Lsl, Lsr, Rol and Ror can now be used as operators.
* NEW: Now integer constants can be simple integer expressions in array, constant and enumeration declarations.
[GB.EVAL]
* BUG: Fix a compiler warning.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Class overriding is not retroactive anymore when the class already has instances.
* NEW: In tracing mode, indent the interpreter output according to the current stack depth.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Standard input does not use read ahead anymore in all cases.
* BUG: Restore the end-of-file detection for buffered streams whose read ahead is allowed.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: New "Unknown stream size" error when 'Lof()' cannot know the size of a stream.
* BUG: If we can't know the size of a stream watched for reading, then we don't unwatch it automatically anymore.
* BUG: Streams based on non-regular file descriptors (devices for example) opened in direct mode now never use 'fstat()' for getting the file length.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Read watches are automatically disabled when stream is closed in all cases.
* BUG: Buffered stream end-of-file function has been fixed.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Standard input is not supposed to be always available for reading.
* NEW: Watching a stream for reading is stopped as soon as reading ahead returns end of file.
* NEW: Eof() now immediately returns TRUE if a previous read ahead has reached end of file.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Pipes are now always internally opened for writing, to workaround a 'glib' behaviour, that eats 100% CPU when there is no writer anymore on a pipe watched for reading.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: When using SHELL, call 'setpgrp()' after the possible 'setsid()' call. Otherwise the shell i/o are not visible to the Gambas process.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: JIT compiler support for embedded array and structures variables.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: JIT compiler support for embedded array and structures variables.
