[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.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Class.Size now returns the full size allocated for an object of that class.
* NEW: Class.DataSize is a new property that returns the size of the dynamic data allocated for that class.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Object.SizeOf() on embedded arrays now returns the size of the array, and not the size of the temporary object created for accessing the array.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix memory leaks in debugger expression evaluation routines.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Fix memory leaks in debugger expression evaluation routines.
* NEW: The debugger now prints the reference count next to object references.
* BUG: A null pointer is printed as "NULL" now.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Calling a JIT function from a class having a ':' in its name works correctly now.
* NEW: Jit.Enabled is a new property that allows to temporarily deactivate the JIT compiler.
