[COMPILER]
* OPT: Shortcut path for adding a small integer or float constant number.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for new bytecodes.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimization of conditional jumps based on values known to be Boolean.
* BUG: Jump optimization is effective when debugging information is generated.

[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Optimization of conditional jumps based on values known to be Boolean.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for conditional jumps optimization.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix overflow detection in conversion functions.
* BUG: Check for overflow detection only if the '__has_builtin' pseudo-macro is implemented by the compiler.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimize jumps pointing at a JUMP instruction.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Avoid conversion to boolean when possible in conditional jumps.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Implement overflow detection in integer arithmetic operations. The UNSAFE keyword disable them to get full speed.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Put less code in the main interpreter loop because it became too big again with gcc 12.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Some optimizations in the parser.
* NEW: Make the compiler more clever when deciding if an identifier is a reserved keyword or not.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: The timezone now can be specified in a string that represents a
date, by adding a space followed by "UTC" or "GMT", a plus or minus
sign, the hours, and optionnaly a colon followed the minutes.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Bool@(), Byte@()... functions can be the target of an affectation now.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Bool@(), Byte@()... functions can be the target of an affectation now.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Bool@(), Byte@()... functions can be the target of an affectation now.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimization of small integer floating point constants.
[INTEGER]
* OPT: Optimization of small integer floating point constants.
[GB.JIT]
* OPT: Optimization of small integer floating point constants.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix backward-compatibility with previous bytecode.
* OPT: Optimizations of local variables and argument assignements.
* BUG: NULL can be serialized on streams correctly now.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Support for local variable manipulation optimization.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Avoid unneeded type conversion swhen manipulating local variables.
* OPT: Various optimizations of the interpreter execution loop. Apparently a smaller execution loop has a big impact on speed. I guess this is related to the size of the various CPU caches.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Remove Md5() and other hash native functions.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove Md5() and other hash native functions.
[GB.HASH]
* NEW: 'Hash' is a new static class with methods that implement The 'Md5', 'Sha1', 'Sha256' and 'Sha512' hash functions.
[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: Update 'README' and 'README.md' files.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Add Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
[GB.HASH]
* NEW: This is a new component that implements the Md5(), Sha1(), Sha256() and Sha512() functions.
The code comes from BusyBox.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Enhance 'GB.SubstStringAdd()' and add 'GB.SubstStringUnquote()' API to support custom quoting in 'gb.db'.
[GB.DB]
* NEW: Connection: Request substitution methods now support "[&1]" and "`&1`" quoting syntax to quote a table name or a column name.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Remove useless LIKELY() and UNLIKELY() macros.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Remove useless LIKELY() and UNLIKELY() macros.
* NEW: Add a class flag for bytecode strictly older than 3.18.
[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Fix incorrect 'printf' format on 32-bits architectures.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Add all comparison constants to 'gambas.h' API header file.
[GB.OPENSSL]
* BUG: Use the API instead of directly including interpreter header files. It breaks compilation on Ubuntu 22.10.1.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix array and allocation management, so that allocating a byte array with a number of elements near the greatest integer does not crash anymore.
[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.
