7 - Updated to match MPDM refactoring (no more sweeping /
9 - New multithreading support:
10 * A function can be prefixed with & (ampersand) to execute
11 it in a new thread; the new thread handler is returned.
12 * Support for mutex values.
13 * Support for semaphore values.
14 - Any function argument not explicitly declared and
15 sent as argument in the function call is stored
16 in the local array _ (underscore).
17 - The adel() function no longer returns the deleted element.
18 - mpsl_compile_file() now has an additional argument
19 holding the source file search path.
20 - The following functions had had their arguments swapped:
26 * New syntax for _inverse_ calling functions; the new
27 construction `val1->func(val2)' is equivalent
28 to `func(val1, val2)'. This way, chained function
29 calls where the first argument of one is the return
30 of the other are much easier to write and understand.
31 * Numbers prefixed by `0b' are accepted as binary numbers
32 and `sprintf()' accepts `%b' to print them.
33 * New operands >> and << (bit shifting).
34 * New operands &=, |= and ^=, <<= and >>=.
35 * New operand ** (power).
36 * New function `random()'.
37 * New trapping functionality.
42 * New function `sscanf()'.
43 * New function `compile()', to compile a string of MPSL code
44 to an executable value.
45 * New function `bincall()', to create an executable value
46 given a pointer to binary code.
47 * The `mpsl' executable now ignores the first line of an MPSL
48 script if it starts with #!.
49 * Real numbers can be expressed in scientific notation.
54 * The `write()' allows a variable argument of values to write.
55 * Values are dumped as MPSL instead of MPDM's low-level format.
56 * New function `chdir()'.
61 * Fixed a strange but annoying bug regarding local variables
62 losing their values in anonymous subroutines.
67 * New `g' flag in regex().
68 * Fix backslash parsing in strings.
73 * The iterator variable in foreach() is _always_ created
74 as a local variable inside the block. Also, the old
75 construction foreach(local v, ...) issues a warning,
81 * Anonymous subroutines now run inside a block frame
82 instead of a subroutine frame. This way, they can have
83 access to local variables defined in the subroutine
84 they are called from. So, for example, if you run
85 map() inside a subroutine, its anonymous code block
86 can access the local variables defined there.
87 * getenv() doesn't crash if the environment variable
93 * Small internal refactoring regarding subroutine and
94 block frames. Frame creation code has been unified,
95 so block frames don't crash when a NULL local symbol
96 table is sent as argument, and can have arguments.
97 This change is not visible from outside; only a step
98 towards closing bug #1107.
