[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.QT5]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: JIT compilation is run in two steps.
[GB.JIT]
* OPT: Run JIT compilation in the background.
* NEW: JIT.Debug is a new property that allows to enable JIT debugging messages at runtime.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Variant[].Sort() and Variant[].SortUsing() methods have been added.
* NEW: SortUsing() methods now take an optional sort mode as second argument.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: File.RealPath() is a new statis method that returns the the canonicalized absolute pathname of path, with no symbolic links inside.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Allocate custom language environment variables statically, because environment is accessed by shared library exit routines, after the interpreter memory allocations have been freed.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Allow one more decimal digit in floating point number constants.
* BUG: Ignore trailing zeros in the decimal part of floating point number constants. It may introduce rounding differences.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add a API to know if a native component exists on the disk.
[GB.GUI]
* BUG: Take the other requested GUI components into account to choose the toolkit.
[GB.GUI.QT]
* BUG: Take the other requested GUI components into account to choose the toolkit.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Correctly clear observer reference on the observed object when it is freed.
* BUG: Clear environment variables set by the interpreter, as they can be read by the shared libraries exit routines after main() has been terminated.
[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.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Allow local variable declaration anywhere in the function. The local symbol still has a function scope, but can be used after its declaration only.
[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.
