* NEW: READ and WRITE now can deal with structures and embedded arrays.
* NEW: Dir?() synonymous has been removed.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@3322 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* OPT: Some optimizations again in memory allocator, object releasing
routine, arithmetic operators, class variable reader, line-by-line stream
reader, class symbol sort routine.

* NEW: Bytecode version has been increased, and so all projects must be
recompiled.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Objects that do not raise events do not allocate the event
management structure anymore. That save four pointers by object.
* NEW: Structure management is done, and embedded (static) structures are
handled too.
* BUG: Static array management was fixed.
* NEW: All functions synonymous whose name ends with a question mark have
been removed.
[COMPILER]

* 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.
* NEW: The [...] array constructor now checks the datatype of all its
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]
* NEW: Memory is new instruction like Open that opens a memory stream from
a Pointer. The syntax is: hStream = Memory pPonter For Read | Write.
* NEW: Support for form controls being individually public.
* BUG: VarPtr() is compiled correctly again.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@2339 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Renaming a control now automatically renames the identifier in the
source code.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Split() now takes a 5th optional argument that tells if escape
characters should be kept in the returned strings.
* NEW: CVariant() is a new function that converts its argument into a
Variant.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: CVariant() is a new function that converts its argument into a
Variant.
[GB.FORM]
* NEW: SidePanel, DirChooser, FileChooser and FileView Settings property
now use the new Settings storage facilities and return a Variant[].
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: The Settings and Layout properties of HSplit and VSplit now return
an Integer[] instead of a String.
* BUG: The name property of newly created menus is correctly initialized
now.
[GB.QT4]
* NEW: The Settings and Layout properties of HSplit and VSplit now return
an Integer[] instead of a String.
[GB.SETTINGS]
* NEW: The settings file format has changed. Now collections and arrays can
be stored and retrieved.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@2329 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* BUG: Some little layout fixes.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Read the user home directory only if the current uid has changed.
Otherwise, cache it into memory.
* OPT: String memory management has been optimized.
* OPT: Some little optimizations there and there.
* NEW: A new interpreter option, "-k", that prevents shared library to be
unloaded until the process terminates. That can be useful when
debugging with valgrind.
* OPT: System.Language property was optimized.
* OPT: The gb_error.c file is now compiled with -O3.
[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Disable the management of input methods in TextBox and TextArea
controls, so that the input methods are not disturbed. Consequently;
SCIM and Bridged SCIM work again.
* BUG: You can read keyboard events properties in a Form KeyPress or
KeyRelease event handler correctly now.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@1199 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: 64 bits port.
[EXAMPLES]
* BUG: Fixed the AnalogWatch example.
[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.
* OPT: Put some tables into read-only memory. About 1000 bytes are saved
for each running interpreter, except the first one.
* BUG: Does not crash anymore if a component cannot be loaded.
* NEW: Spanish translation updated.
* NEW: A new interpreter API for returning a pointer.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Correctly compiles LONG constants inside code.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Compiles and links the gb.debug components with the thread
libraries.
[GB.DB.SQLITE3]
* BUG: Getting the primary index of a table without primary index is safe
now.

could enter in a loop in which user interface events were not managed.
* BUG: Message boxes use application title without crashing now.
[GB.OPENGL]
* BUG: Disable dead code.
[GB.QT.EXT]
* BUG: TextEdit.TextWidth and TextEdit.TextHeight were not declared as
