* NEW: Support for new bytecodes.
[CONFIGURATION]
* BUG: Do not use the default CFLAGS forces by autotools. Either use the CFLAGS provided on the command-line, or the default ones of the project.
[INTERPRETER]

[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimize variable initialization.
[COMPILER]

* OPT: IsAscii(), IsLower(), IsPunct()... instructions are now a bit faster.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Allow static arrays to be used with the point operator.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix static array management. They are not read-only anymore. Only methods that want to modify the size of the array are forbidden, as well as the ReadOnly property.

* BUG: Remove some useless structure packing directives.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix compilation of function calls with variable arguments passing.

[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: String value can be used like object.
* NEW: String[X] returns the X-th character of the string, 0 being the first one.
* NEW: String[X, N] returns N characters from the position X, 0 being the first one. IF N is strictly negative, then all characters from the position X, except the last N characters are returned.
* NEW: String.Len returns the length of the string.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Allow the [] operator to be applied to a string.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Rename a macro constant to avoid a symbol clash when compiling the interpreter.

* OPT: Compile is now compiled with -O3 optimizations.
* OPT: Reserved words built-in symbol table is faster now.
* NEW: Initial support for expression datatype analyze. Some new errors are raised at compilation time, like using a string with the AND operator for example. The datatype analyzer is rougher than the IDE one because it is local to the compile class.
* OPT: Symbol table search is a bit faster.

* NEW: A symbol followed by a point is never interpreted as a function if
it is used as a function name in the current class.

* NEW: The process child errors raised before the exec() system call are
now catched in a separate function called by the compiler explicitly
after a SHELL or EXEC assignment.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: SHELL and EXEC assignments now call an hidden subroutine just after
the assignment to immediately check for a possible child error.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6681 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Support for the new USE instruction.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: A class header now can include USE "xxxx" declarations, where "xxxx"
is a component name. It means that the specified component will be loaded
when the class is initialized, the first time it is loaded.
