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