[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a debug API that returns the current error message, and remove the API that printed it.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: The debugger now correctly saves and prints the current error message.
[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.
[GB.TEST]
* NEW: TapParser can now parse subtests. Consequently, TestRunner assembles a tree of TestAssertions.
* BUG: Remove trailing '\r' characters from TapStream lines.
By our convention a subtest is opened by a "Test ..." line and closed by
its summarizing "ok" / "not ok" assertion.
This commit regresses on TInternals's reflection tests because I added
tests for the parser and runner which need event handlers to do their
testing. These are unintentionally detected as test methods.
[GB.TEST]
* NEW: 'gb.util' and 'gb.settings' are not required anymore.
* NEW: Add an Helper module that implements the functions replacing what was used in 'gb.util' and 'gb.settings'.
* BUG: Rewrite the GetTestSuiteByName() method without 'gb.settings', and fix it. It was completely broken.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove the now useless testing specific code.
* NEW: 'gbx3 -T' now just loads the 'gb.test' component and calls Test.Main() passing it the '-T' option argument.
[GB.TEST]
* NEW: Move 'gb.test' sources in '/main/lib'.
* NEW: 'gb.test' has now a part written in C that allows him to load project classes on demand.

* OPT: Strings greater than 4096 bytes are allocated by 4096 bytes steps.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: JIT optimization of '&=' has been implemented.
[GB.GUI]
* BUG: Fix detection of GUI components and share some code with 'gb.gui.qt'.
[GB.GUI.QT]
* BUG: Fix detection of GUI components and share some code with 'gb.gui'.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Internal name of libraries uses a point now between vendor and library name, not a slash anymore.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Undo "make debugger output writes more robust". Apparently it does not work.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Compiling libraries works now.
[GB.DRAW]
* NEW: Paint.TextHeight is a new property that returns the height of one line of text. This is not the same as Paint.Font.Height, as the device resolution is taken into account.
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: Paint.FontScale is now "transparent". Paint.Font.Size is not changed anymore when assigning the Paint.Font property.

* BUG: Utility windows now kept being in front of their parent window correctly.
[COMPILER]

[GB.DB.SQLITE3]
* NEW: Use the new driver API to print debugging messages.
[GB.DRAW]
* NEW: Paint: FontScale is a new property that defines a scale applied to the size of the fonts assigned to the Paint.Font property.
* NEW: Paint: Scale() second argument is now optional, and takes the same value as the first argument if omitted.
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: Paint: Implementation of Paint.FontScale.
* BUG: Printer: All printer events are raised between a single Paint.Begin() / Paint.End().
[GB.GTK3]
* NEW: Paint: Implementation of Paint.FontScale.
* BUG: Printer: All printer events are raised between a single Paint.Begin() / Paint.End().
* BUG: Printer: Print() does now crash anymore.
* BUG: Printer: Font sizes now are the same as with QT components.
[GB.QT4]
* NEW: Paint: Implementation of Paint.FontScale.
[GB.QT5]
* NEW: Paint: Implementation of Paint.FontScale.
[GB.EVAL]
* NEW: Highlight.Alternate is a new constant that represents the background style used for coloring code embedded into webpages.
[GB.EVAL.HIGHLIGHT]
* NEW: Support for new Highlight.Alternate style.
[GB.FORM.EDITOR]
* NEW: Support for new Highlight.Alternate style.
* NEW: Matching braces now blink with the cursor.
* BUG: When the cursor moves, the blinking timer is reset so that the cursor blinks only when it is not moving.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Ignore errors when loading a class for the JIT compiler.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Loading a class during JIT compilation can fail. Take that into account.
[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]
* BUG: Active file descriptor watches and active timers are now automatically transferred to the component declaring a custom event loop. Consequently, a process started before the declaration of the event loop will have its termination signal correctly catched.
* NEW: Use waitpid() instead of wait4().
[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.GTK3]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.QT4]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.

[GB.GUI.QT]
* BUG: Take the other requested GUI components into account to choose the toolkit.

* 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.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Forgot to call JIT function when the call is dynamic, i.e. if the object owning the method has an anonymous datatype (Object or Variant).
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Save the initial stack pointer of a function in the function stack instead of using the interpreter stack.
