---------------------
o Unlimited character constant size.
There is no longer any limit to the size of character constants,
e.g. 'acdefghijk' creates the bignum 0x61636465666768696a6b.
|
| a72ec6 | 2016-01-04 | Per Hedbor | | o 'auto' type added.
This is much like a strict typed mixed. The actual type is deduced
compile-time.
The main use case is as variables in foreach when looping over
complexly typed values, or as types in macro-defined functions and
such.
auto can be used as return type for a function, it will be the
logical or of all the types of the return statements in the
function.
o typeof(X) can now be used as a type.
The main use case is in macros, but it might be useful for other
things as well (as an example in a typedef).
typedef typeof(Val.true)|typeof(Val.false) bool;
typeof, when used like this, behaves very much like the C++
decltype() expression.

|
| 83a8f5 | 2015-11-09 | Martin Nilsson | | C-level API changes
-------------------
o The contract for functions is now changed so that a function is no
longer required to clean the stack. The topmost value of the stack
will be regarded as the return value and the rest of the items on
the stack, compared to before the function arguments were pushed,
will be popped and discarded. Efuns still have to clean their stack
as previously.

| dca676 | 2014-11-03 | Martin Nilsson | | Building and installing
